New Year

Looking Back At My Targets For 2025

by RachelSwirl December 31, 2025

At the end of each year, I take some time to look back at the targets that I set myself twelve months prior and to see how many of those goals I ticked off and achieved. This year’s reflection is a little more personally prominent as not only is it the end of the year, but it is also the end of this blog… After just under ten years of posting a variety of linkies, reviews, pictures, and personal posts, it’s finally time to bring this to a close. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for reading, …

My Ten Targets for 2025

My Ten Targets for 2025

It’s the start of a brand new year and with that, it’s time for me to write a brand new list of targets for the next twelve months ahead. Whilst I spent great time writing out fifteen targets for 2024, I’ve decided to make things a little more achievable this year by lowering my own expectations and limiting myself to ‘ten targets for 2025’. Redecorate our bedroom in tones of silver, add a white-wash wooden floor, and furnish it with a new bed and built-in wardrobes. Refurnish and redecorate our ensuite Recarpet the stairs Board out, tidy, and sort the …

Looking Back At My Targets For 2024

As always, on New Year’s Day, I like to look back at the targets I set for myself for the previous year, check off my achievements, and then set a whole new set of goals for the year ahead. So without further ado, let’s see what I did… or didn’t get done in 2024: Make time for self-care through activities such as reading, journalling, and relaxation wherever possible Learn a new recipe or two with our new Air Fryer Enjoy more time out and about rather than being a hermit in the house Spend time with friends Continue to learn …

My Targets For 2024

My Targets For 2024

So here it is, the New Year has arrived. Let’s hope that 2024 gives us all the opportunity for a clean slate, new beginnings, and a fresh set of goals for the year ahead. Whilst 2023 was somewhat of a rollercoaster of a year, I chose to focus on the ups rather than the downs thus I’ll remember 2023 as the year that our little family made a whole heap of forever memories, together, as we enjoyed what was the holiday of a lifetime. Despite the difficulties and the down points that we endured throughout that time, I’m proud to …

Looking Back At My Targets For 2023

Looking Back At My Targets For 2023

Each year I put together a list of targets and goals for the year ahead. This time twelve months ago I wrote my ‘targets for 2023‘ and I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on that list and identify what was (or perhaps was not) achieved before I write another list for the new year ahead. So here’s what I said I’d aim to achieve in 2023 – let’s see how I/ we did… Repaint and re-carpet E’s room with a gold/ red Harry Potter theme Refurnish E’s room with IKEA Kallax-style storage (to replace her outdated pink/ white kiddy-style …
