#LivingArrows – Our Little Star Of The Show 51/52 (2022)

by RachelSwirl December 19, 2022

Our little lady spent the majority of last week being the star of the stage both at school, where she was Morris dancing in her Christmas concert and at the local theatre, where she wowed us all with her impressive tap and ballet dancing. It was a busy week for our little lady but thankfully the holidays have now arrived and she’s finally able to rest and relax, I wish I could say likewise as I’ve still got another day to get through before I can switch off the alarm for a week or two. Whilst I’d love to say …

#LivingArrows – Make It Count 3/52 (2019)

by RachelSwirl January 21, 2019

Looking at all my friends photos online, I feel kind of bad that most of my shots tend to get snapped indoors at present. Don’t get me wrong, my kids and I are outside regularly whilst at play. However, it has been so cold recently that we’ve not been outside for too long before heading back indoors to thaw out. Apologies therefore if my pictures come across as bland and boring. As part of E’s extra curricular activities, we have spent time playing a few maths games together – one of which she was extremely excited about playing and has …

#LivingArrows – Sofa Snuggles & Diva Dancers 51/53 (2018)

by RachelSwirl December 17, 2018

It’s been a whirlwind of a week, we have barely stopped to catch our breath. Both the kids and us adults are completely and utterly exhausted, we are most definitely on count down to the end of term, though even then it’s going to be busy as there’s still so much to get done before the big day. J and I took a little time out earlier this week, we snuggled on the sofa and enjoyed a Christmas movie together. It’s been a while since I’ve taken time out on a one-to-one basis with J, we simply haven’t had the …

#LivingArrows – Dance Magic Dance 40/52 (2017)

by RachelSwirl October 2, 2017

Although I’d wrapped myself up in what I can only compare to an oversized duvet rather than a jacket and had intentionally worn many layers whilst out at J’s karate lesson it made very little difference as I arrived home frozen to the bone. Paul and E on the other hand were stripped down to the bare essentials giving it their all as they bopped along to the XBOX. It wasn’t long before J had joined the kids I am including my husband in this statement to dance along to a game prior to settling down for supper. E had laid a …

Celebrating The Summer With Cheesefields

by RachelSwirl September 4, 2017

I have been meaning to write-up our ‘Cheesefields’ shenanigans for the past week or so but haven’t found the time until now. In case you are wondering ‘Cheesefields’ is an annual gathering come mini-festival event which two of my good friends have hosted for a number of years now. Derived from the well-known ‘Creamfields’ festival, Cheesefields is a much smaller-scale back garden based event which we were very kindly added to the guest list for and invited to attend. Cheesefields may be small-scale but the planning and effort put into organising and planning said event takes many weeks and a …
