Mum Style And How You Can Inject Your Personality Into Your Everyday

by RachelSwirl March 1, 2019

Life as a mum is a busy one, let’s not beat around the bush here. You have so much to think about. A job perhaps or a home to run. School runs, after school activities and clubs, the holidays and homework. It can all pile up and before you realise it, you end up with a cup of tea you made four hours ago that hasn’t been drunk and you have forgotten to even eat. Sound familiar? You are not alone. So when it comes to style and embracing our personalities we can often leave ourselves quite low on the …

Must We Always Buy New?

by RachelSwirl October 19, 2017

Don’t get me wrong, I like my children to have ‘nice’ things but that doesn’t always mean those things must always be ‘new’. It really irks me that we seem to be such a throw-away society these days, thus why I will happily look for second-hand deals both on and offline for my children. This week for example I have managed to acquire a bundle of school tights and socks for E, a Next ‘Bunny themed’ school coat and a pair of trainers for the kids.

by RachelSwirl June 6, 2017

Having being handed a few bags of clothes for E from my good friend D I set about washing, drying and storing said clothes in E’s many cupboards and drawers all of which were carefully sorted and organised ready for wear over the next year or so. I seem to have a really good ‘clothing exchange’ setup with a few of my good friends, along with the all essential eBay, Facebook selling pages and odd bargain picked up whilst out and about shopping I am able to stylishly cloth my children with relatively little outgoing costs. As for my own clothing I …

by RachelSwirl April 30, 2017

April has flown by in the blink of an eye, I’m not entirely sure whether or not we’ve done a whole lot but I certainly feel that Paul and I have put our best efforts into making some changes certainly in terms of the garden and such like. Heres a list of some of the things that I have #Liked and Loved during April. My Princess Is Going To School! With E turning four-years old this year she will of course be following her brother and heading off to Primary School. As much as my heart breaks at the thought …
