#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.

It’s Monday once again, the start of yet another week, god knows what might happen over the next seven days, if it’s anything like the past few weeks then I may as well give up guessing. One things for sure, no day is ever the same as another in this household! Theres that much going on I can barely keep on a grip on my own schedule never mind a family of four.

by RachelSwirl October 19, 2016

Our little lady E has a bit of a thing for small, plastic toys such as Shopkins and other mini-figures. She was therefore delighted when we were sent The Num Noms ‘Diner’ and ‘Pizza Party’ set to review. What are Num-Noms?
