#MFFMM – My Five Favourite Monthly Moments from December 2024

by RachelSwirl December 31, 2024

Welcome to what will be my final post of My Five Favourite Monthly Moments linky. Whilst I’ve enjoyed writing this series each month throughout the past year, I’ve decided to bring it to a close as it was taking up a little too much time alongside my #LittleLoves linky at the end of each month. Whilst #MFFMM will be coming to an end, I will continue to celebrate the top three moments of each month within my monthly #LittleLoves posts so please feel free to drop by if you fancy participating. So without further ado, here are My Five Favourite …

Welcome to this week’s #MySundaySnapshot post, which is part of a snap-sharing-blog-linky series that you are very welcome to join. Click here for further information and guidelines upon this linky should you wish to take part. Paul and I finally caved and let the kids put the Christmas tree up and I’ve got to say that I’m glad we did as our living room now looks really cosy with all the twinkly, Christmas lights. I’m hoping that tomorrow we can hang the outdoor lights, though that will take some doing as Paul replaced all our front facia boards earlier this year so he’ll need to …

#LivingArrows – The Countdown To Christmas 49/52 (2022)

by RachelSwirl December 5, 2022

The elf made an unwelcome return as December arrived and whilst E was over the moon that her annual elfy friend had returned for his annual visit, I on the other hand was struggling for elf-orientated ideas. Paul, being the inspired type, decided to have the elf dump the decorations in the living room with a request that we arrange them accordingly ready for the silly season thus we spent Saturday putting together and dressing a tree that’s somehow half a foot shorter than last year. Once Paul had strung the tree with lights, the kids did all the hard …

Welcome to this week’s #MySundaySnapshot post, which is part of a snap-sharing-blog-linky series that you are very welcome to join. Click here for further information and guidelines upon this linky should you wish to take part. Whilst we are yet to decorate the exterior of our house, Christmas has otherwise arrived in the form of a Christmas tree and various decorations here, there, and everywhere around the house. If I’m honest I’m not really feeling all that festive this year, thankfully the kids were happy to decorate the tree as I was way too emotional to even attempt stringing the lights never mind hanging baubles …

#MySundaySnapshot – Tree Lights In Town 50/52 (2021)

by RachelSwirl December 12, 2021

Welcome to this week’s #MySundaySnapshot post, which is part of a snap-sharing-blog-linky series that you are very welcome to join. Click here for further information and guidelines upon this linky should you wish to take part. We are now mid-way through December and I’m no longer the only one with my decorations up. I love looking at all the twinkly, Christmas lights, especially during the dark and dismal December nights. With less than a fortnight to go until Christmas, the local tree has been put up in town and the lights are now switched on and ready for the seasonal celebrations. It’s so pretty! Thanks …
