Things that I have #LikedandLoved in September 2019

There may only be thirty days in September but this month feels as if it’s dragged on forever. I’m not sure whether it’s the wet weather, the darker nights or the fact that routine has returned but I’m completely and utterly exhausted! September may have been slightly stressful and certainly very busy but it’s also been enjoyable. Here are a few of the things which I have #LikedandLoved throughout September.

by RachelSwirl January 6, 2017

As of today we finally got back into some kind of routine. J started back at school yesterday but as it was E’s day off from nursery we went to the local Tots group, had a brew and caught up with some friends. I managed to get a few things done but it wasn’t ‘normal routine’ as such. It was only this morning when E returned to Nursery that I finally got back into a routine of having some time alone. It was great to catch up on the chores and to take stock following the Christmas break. I got …
