#LivingArrows – Back To The Books & Ballet 37/52 (2021)

by RachelSwirl September 13, 2021

I’ll be honest, September isn’t my most favoured month. Not only does September signify the end of the summer and the return to routine but the month itself seems to drag somehow and I’m forever counting down the days wishing for Octobers arrival. This week has flown by thankfully, though the weekend seems to have rapidly raced by also which is a little disappointing. Both J & E are now signed up for their after-school classes and though I worry that I’ll be struggling to make a few of them due to work commitments, I’ve kitted the kids out with…

#LivingArrows – Bike Rides & The Beach 36/52 (2021)

by RachelSwirl September 6, 2021

With E returning to school this morning our regular routine has now returned and we are all ‘back to the grindstone for the next seven weeks or so. Though summer is officially out, the weather obviously hasn’t received the memo as we are set to bask in a September heatwave at some point this week. We made the most of the sunshine over the weekend as we enjoyed bike rides, trips to the park, walks with the dog, and a cheeky ice cream or two at the beach. Ice Cream Smiles E met a rather late milestone this weekend as…

#LivingArrows – So Long Summer 35/52 (2021)

We are rather lucky as our local parks have both had a recent upgrade thus the kids couldn’t wait to visit and to play on the new equipment. The kids seem pretty impressed with the new structures and equipment though I’m not so sure I’m entirely keen on the idea of spinning climbing frames, just watching them makes me feel a little squiffy! Climbing Great Heights Summer Swings Autumn is now in the air and whilst I’m rather sad to see the holidays come to a close, it’ll be nice for the kids to be able to see their friends…

#LivingArrows – Getting Back Into The Groove 34/52 (2021)

by RachelSwirl August 23, 2021

We’ve been living back at home for a week now and though things are still a bit up in the air as the kitchen isn’t completely finished and we are currently living with plywood temporary flooring throughout the downstairs, it’s good to be back in our own house and gaining some normality. We’ve celebrated not one but two birthdays this week, I must admit I was a little worried that we’d be having to do this from my Mums house. Thankfully that wasn’t the case and we managed to hold a party here at home for our little lady. Now…

#LivingArrows – Let’s Play! 33/52 (2021)

by RachelSwirl August 16, 2021

Though I’d have liked to have taken the kids out for a couple of days here and there, I’m still not entirely comfortable with the concept of crowds with the current Covid 19 situation thus we’ve opted to play it safe and keep close to home. Dolls Play I say ‘close to home’ but we’ve actually spent the past three weeks staying with my Mum twenty minutes away from where we live. Still, we’ve all had plenty of fun both in and outdoors: E has kept herself entertained at her Nanas drawing, painting, baking, and playing with various toys from…
