October is one of my most favoured months of the year. I love the glorious golden season and all the quirky events that take place during the autumn months. Here are some of the things that I have #LikedandLoved this October: Halloween-themed Decor & Perfect Pumpkin Carving As I had tested positive for COVID shortly before the half term, we spent the first few days of the holidays keeping ourselves entertained and occupied inside a little like lockdown to avoid unnecessarily spreading any further germs around the area.

Still, here are a few of the things that I have #LikedandLoved throughout the past month. The Half Term Holidays June began with the much-anticipated arrival of the half-term holidays.

So here it is, the final Friday of June 2022 and what a month it has been! Here are a few of my #LittleLoves from what has been an incredibly busy but brilliant month. Read Other than newsfeeds and scrolling through various social media platforms, I haven’t done all that much in terms of reading this month.
