#LittleLoves – May 2020

And here we are at the end of May already, which seems to have come by quite quickly considering that we have spent the past ten weeks or more living in ‘lockdown limbo’.

Despite every aspect of my life seemingly falling apart over the past few months, I’m choosing to stay smiling, even though that requires a forced grimace for the most part. Here, therefore are a few of my #LittleLoves from the month of May.

It’s astonishing just how much comes to light during the darkest of times, tough times call for your true self – when things get rough you’ve got to ‘get real’ as there is simply no room for ‘fake amidst fear’.…

#LittleLoves – April 2020

As the world remains in lockdown, we’ve been doing our very best to keep our little world as normal as can be. Who am I kidding? Nothing is normal right now…  

Without further whining or waffling, here are a few of my #LittleLoves from the month gone by…

Given that we are in lockdown you’d expect that I’d have plenty of time to read books but that’s not quite the case. If I’m not busy homeschooling the kids then I’m either running back and forth to my folks to provide care or I’m busy on the phone talking to some consultant, nurse, secretary, or someone or other regarding drugs, doses or treatment plans… it’s endless!…

#LittleLoves – March 2020

I’ll level with you – there isn’t much that I’ve particularly ‘liked’ nor appreciated throughout March nor the current year if I’m honest. People are forever telling me to look at the positives but right now, at this moment in time, it’s not that easy.

I’m well aware that the UK is on lockdown and that the entire world is suffering and struggling with what has very quickly grown to be a pandemic. Covid 19 however, is the least of my worries at present. This statement itself (without illustrating my issues any further) may give you some insight into just how tough times are.…

#LittleLoves – February 2020

February hasn’t been easy, it’s been one of the worst months of my life thus far. I won’t go into details but will tell you that despite things feeling incredibly dark at present, I am trying my very best to look for the light so without further ado, here are a few of my #LittleLoves from February 2020.

Having really enjoyed reading ‘The Little Book of Hygge’ a few months back, I decided to treat myself to further books within the same series. I’ve since made a start on reading ‘The Little Book of Lykke‘ (pronounced Loo-Kah) and am yet to read ‘Lagom’ (The Swedish Art of Balanced Living).…

#LitteLoves – January 2020

I was meant to write this post much earlier today but I’ve not been all that well and am currently sat up in bed with a raging temperature, paracetamol, a large drink and a box of tissues at my side. I will therefore be keeping this post brief as my bed calls.

Without further ado (or any further sneezing over my Macbook) here are some of my #LittleLoves from January 2020.

I’d love to tell you that I’ve been reading piles of books this month but in all honesty, I’ve been too busy keeping up to date with the news.…
