#TheOrdinaryMoments – Mad About Minecraft

by RachelSwirl May 24, 2020

Having worked his stripy socks off for the past however many weeks of home-schooling, J was electronically awarded the lighthouse award late last week. To celebrate his achievement he decided to create a virtual lighthouse using his beloved Minecraft game. J is mad about Minecraft, he’s got the game on almost every platform imaginable and despite my suggestions to combine his games so that whichever platform he chooses to login upon comes up with the same game, he is quite happy to have a range of Minecraft games to be getting on with. Whilst I’m not entirely keen on the …

Having worked our socks off all week long, I decided that rather than crafting a lighthouse from Lego, loo rolls or whatever else, I’d save us all the effort and instead, take a sneaky snapshot whilst down the beach.

by RachelSwirl February 10, 2019

Welcome to another week of the #MySundaySnapshot blog series, a new-ish blog-linky which you are more than welcome to join. Click here for further information and guidelines upon this linky should you fancy taking part. We all need support from time to time; a helping hand, a second pair of eyes, a shoulder to cry on, a second or even a third opinion, a reassuring hug or simply someone to listen. It’s all too easy to live your life in a haze of ignorant bliss, it’s far more challenging to do otherwise and to be ‘a lighthouse’. A lighthouse is …
