by RachelSwirl April 30, 2023

So here we are at the end of April, yet another month has flown by leading us into summer at light speed. Here are some of the things that we have #LikedandLoved during the past thirty days or so. Fabulous Forty Paul turned the fabulous age of forty at the beginning of the month. We celebrated with cake, balloons, a family meal and get-together, a weekend in Edinburgh, and a family day out in Manchester. He was also spoilt rotten with cards, presents, and a whole lot of love. I’m not entirely sure he’s happy with his new age bracket …

We’ve had a pretty awesome April all things considered and most of that was thanks to the wonderful weather, the lighter nights, and the easing of the lockdown measures.

And just like that October has come to a close. It’s been a busy and extremely expensive month for us but we’ve sure had some fun – here are a few of the things that I have #LikedandLoved during the month. The Half Term Holidays Autumn brought the half-term holidays, a much-needed break from the daily grind. Whilst we didn’t do an awful lot, we had a wonderful week filled with rest, relaxation and family fun. The Bling Is Back! Back in September I discovered that I was a diamond down. My husband very kindly took my wedding ring along …

#TheOrdinaryMoments – Sunday Swimming & Shopping Shenanigans

by RachelSwirl September 29, 2019

It’s been raining continuously for almost twenty-four hours now and as Id expected the roads were like rivers when E and I drove through to her swimming lesson earlier today. E recently passed her stage two swimming certificate, she has now moved up to a more advanced class at a later time (bang on dinner time!) which began today. Poor E was accustomed to being one of the strongest kids in her swimming class, whereas now she is one of the smallest, youngest and weakest swimmers in her class, though I’m sure it won’t be long before she finds her …
