#LittleLoves – November 2025

by RachelSwirl November 30, 2025

Welcome to this month’s #LittleLoves post, celebrating the positive points from the month gone by. This will be the second-to-last #LittleLoves post, as this blog will come to a close at the end of the year. With the kids being that much older, I have decided to start afresh and to start a new blog under a new name, focusing on topics away from parenting. Whilst I won’t be announcing the name or any links here, if you would like to continue following me or wish to join in future blog linkies on my new blog, then feel free to drop …

#LittleLoves – September 2025

by RachelSwirl September 27, 2025

Welcome to September’s #LittleLoves post, part of a blog series celebrating the positive points from each month. Whilst I originally planned to post #LittleLoves posts on the final Friday of each month, I have decided to switch this to the final day of the month as it makes things a little simpler in terms of scheduling. September has been somewhat of a tricky month as we had to navigate new routines with J starting college and E returning to school. However, this was made all the more difficult as I spent almost half of the month in and out of the hospital, …

#LittleLoves – November 2024

by RachelSwirl November 29, 2024

It’s the end of yet another month and therefore time to write my monthly edition of #LittleLoves, a blog linky celebrating the little things in life. November may be shorter in terms of the days but by’eck it ain’t half dragged! Looking on the bright side, here are a few of my #LittleLoves from the past thirty or so days Read I’ve not really been in the mood to read of late which is a real shame as I’ve got one hell of a TBR (to be read) list on my Kindle at present. Ana Huang has just released her …

#LittleLoves – November 2023

by RachelSwirl November 24, 2023

Welcome to this month’s #LittleLoves post, which is part of a series that you are very welcome to join. I was contemplating as to whether to bother even writing this post this month as quite honestly, I’m finding it really difficult to see the positive in anything at present. It’s been an incredibly tough month and I don’t wish to elaborate any further on the details but, I’m struggling. Despite my struggles, I thought it worthwhile trying to find and document the ‘glimmers’ rather than ditching my monthly linky entirely, so here goes… Read I haven’t really read all that much …
