Looking Back At My Targets For 2025

by RachelSwirl December 31, 2025

At the end of each year, I take some time to look back at the targets that I set myself twelve months prior and to see how many of those goals I ticked off and achieved. This year’s reflection is a little more personally prominent as not only is it the end of the year, but it is also the end of this blog… After just under ten years of posting a variety of linkies, reviews, pictures, and personal posts, it’s finally time to bring this to a close. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for reading, …

#LivingArrows - Reading & Resilience 06/52 (2022)

Despite covid restrictions no longer being such an issue, I still feel rather stressed at the concept of getting out and about given that the virus is currently rife especially so in our local area. I am however starting to consider booking activities such as swimming, cinema trips, and once the weather is a little warmer, weekends away at theme parks and such-like. Though it’ll be another year or so before I feel comfortable with the idea of booking a holiday abroad! Thankfully my kids have understood and respected my decisions throughout the pandemic, they have shown such incredible patience …

#LivingArrows - Back To The Books & Ballet 37/52 (2021)

I’ll be honest, September isn’t my most favoured month. Not only does September signify the end of the summer and the return to routine but the month itself seems to drag somehow and I’m forever counting down the days wishing for Octobers arrival. This week has flown by thankfully, though the weekend seems to have rapidly raced by also which is a little disappointing. Both J & E are now signed up for their after-school classes and though I worry that I’ll be struggling to make a few of them due to work commitments, I’ve kitted the kids out with …
