My Goals For 2021

My Goals For 2021

Happy new year and welcome to 2021, a year that we can only hope and pray will be better than it’s predecessor. I would say that ‘it can’t be any worse’ but I’ll edge on the side of caution and keep my lips firmly closed and my fingers tightly crossed…

I would usually write a post reflecting upon the past year’s bucket list and commenting as to whether I’d achieved my goals or otherwise. However, given that I’ve spent almost the entirety of last year living in lockdown, I shan’t bother, as I’m sure you are well aware that like most of us, I achieved next to nothing when it came to my wish list.…

Things that I have #LikedandLoved in December 2020

Things that I have #LikedandLoved in December 2020

So here we have it, the end of another month and what has been the worst year of my life thus far. I can’t say I’ll be sad to see the back of 2020 but neither am I all that excited about 2021 as I’m not entirely sure that it’s going to be all that much better…

I’ll try to steer away from being ‘Nora Neggy’ and point more towards being ‘Peggy Positive’, so without further ado here a few of the things which I have #LikedandLoved through December.

Advent & The Return of Rocko the Elf

December marked the beginning of advent and the countdown to Christmas.…

#LivingArrows – The Big Unwrap 52/52 (2020)

#LivingArrows – The Big Unwrap 52/52 (2020)

So here it is – the final Monday of 2020 and my final #LivingArrows post for the year. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Donna (from What The Redhead Said) for hosting this wonderful linky that I’ve been part of now for oh… quite a few years. I’ll be sure to continue posting within this series throughout 2021.

Despite this year being one of the most difficult that I’ve ever encountered, we’ve done our best to keep things as merry and as joyful as possible for the kids which judging by the piles of parcels which Santa delivered this Christmas, our efforts were more than apparent!…

#LittleLoves – December 2020

#LittleLoves – December 2020

It’s been another difficult and draining month, yet somehow we’ve managed to make it through the month, and what’s more, we’ve made the most of an emotionally exhausting time for the sake of the kids – I’m so glad that we’ve got J & E to keep us trudging on, I’m not sure where I’d be without them.

So without further ado, here’s a few of my #LittleLoves from the final month of what has been the worst year of my life thus far.

Read

Whilst I’d fully intended to spend a little time relaxing with a good read, I’ve simply not had the time to read anything other than my darling Dad’s documents, which I’ve spent the past month sifting through trying to get things organised and arranged on behalf of my Mum. …
