#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 …

#LittleLoves – December 2024

by RachelSwirl December 27, 2024

Welcome to the final #LittleLoves post for 2024. #LittleLoves is a monthly post and is part of a series/ linky which you are very welcome to join should you fancy sharing the highlights from your month. For the past year, I have also been hosting the #MyFiveFavouriteMonthlyMoments linky aka #MFFMM. However, I have decided to bring that particular series to a close as I don’t have the time to complete two monthly round-ups.

Welcome to this week’s #MySundaySnapshot post, part of a snap-sharing-blog-linky series that you are most welcome to tag along with. Though our kids are a little too old to sit on Santa’s lap these days, they still love to get into the festive spirit when our local Inshore Rescue Team take Santa for a whizz around the houses to visit the children. We stood as a family watching on whilst soaking up the seasonal atmosphere as Santa flew by on his sledge accompanied by blaring music and a boatload of elves, snowmen, and various festive-themed folk. With less than a week …

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. I’m keeping it very simple this week with #MySundaySnapshot. I’m not sure about you but the Radio Times is a ‘must have’ in this household each and every Christmas. Though we are all accustomed to the likes of catch-up television these days, there’s still something rather satisfying about circling the shows you intend to watch over the festive period. It’s a tradition that we have continued despite streaming services. …

Welcome to this week’s #MySundaySnapshot post, which is part of a snap-sharing-blog-linky series you are very welcome to join. Click here for further information and guidelines on this linky if you wish to participate. It’s been a long time since our kids had Christmas trees in their rooms. We once had two miniature fibre optic Christmas trees that the kids had in each of their rooms but they became fire risks and thus are long gone. Having watched both Home Alone 1 and 2 within the space of twenty-four hours, my son had got himself very much into the festive spirit and requested …
