by RachelSwirl October 25, 2024

Welcome to this month’s #LittleLoves post, which is part of a series that you are very welcome to join. October has flown by in the blink of an eye, I really can’t seem to get a grip on time at present as time seems to be slipping through my fingers. On that note, here are a few of my #LittleLoves from the past month. Read I haven’t had as much time to read of late. I have however made a start on yet another Colleen Hoover book ‘Maybe Someday‘.

Welcome to this week’s #MySundaySnapshot post, which is part of a snap-sharing-blog-linky series that you are very welcome to join. Click here for further information and guidelines upon this linky should you wish to take part. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to see the Northern Lights. I remember as a child I spent great time and care writing into Jim’ll Fix It in the hope that he’d somehow arrange the event.
