#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 - January 2021

Welcome to my first #LittleLoves post for 2021. Like most people, I was hoping that 2021 would prove to be more positive and be far brighter than 2020 but sadly that doesn’t seem to be the case. Times are tough at present and whilst I don’t see it getting any easier for quite some time, I’m trying my best to stay upbeat and to look for the positives. So without further ado, here are a few of my #LittleLoves from the past month. Read Given that I’ve barely got time to scratch my head at present, I’m not entirely sure …

Things that I have liked and loved in May 2020

This year has brought so much sorrow and upset, it’s often difficult to dredge through the despair to find the light within the dark. However, this month I have made a concerted effort (not only for the kids but also for myself) to smile and to celebrate the magic moments where and when possible – Here are a few of the moments which I have ‘liked and loved’ throughout the month of May. Js 11th Birthday …

#LittleLoves - April 2020

As the world remains in lockdown, we’ve been doing our very best to keep our little world as normal as can be. Who am I kidding? Nothing is normal right now…   Without further whining or waffling, here are a few of my #LittleLoves from the month gone by… Read Given that we are in lockdown you’d expect that I’d have plenty of time to read books but that’s not quite the case. If I’m not busy homeschooling the kids then I’m either running back and forth to my folks to provide care or I’m busy on the phone talking to …

#LittleLoves - Soaps, Trips, Weight Loss & The Cranberries

Welcome to this weeks edition of #LittleLoves, a weekly post in which I share a few of the things that have raised a smile or tickled my fancy throughout the week. Good god that sounds wrong but hey ho I’ve had a few to drink and the words are running pretty freely. I’m not sure what is worse drunk texting or drunk blogging? I’ll let you decide…   Read I spent most of the week carefully studying and rereading my sons residential itinerary and packing list prior to his trip which he arrived back from this afternoon. Other than that I haven’t …
