#LivingArrows – Lockdown Life 02/52 (2021)

by RachelSwirl January 11, 2021

I don’t know if it’s just me but heck, this lockdown seems so much harder than the last! Don’t get me wrong, I’m far happier staying safe at home and keeping the kids busy but it’s so dark, dreary, and dismal at this time of year that it makes everything feel so much more of a trudge. Thankfully the kids have been fabulously flexible and have both been really busy working their little socks off, bless them. We spend morning to late afternoon each weekday occupied with homeschool activities and so often it’s dark by the time we’re done, which frustrates …

#LivingArrows – Sunshine Smiles 32/52 (2020)

by RachelSwirl August 10, 2020

It’s been a pretty, soggy summer so far, though we’ve had the odd sunshine day, it never lasts for long – though that’s always the way for us northerners! I just feel so bad for the kids as, like ourselves, they too have been stuck living in lockdown since March and I’d have loved to have taken them away somewhere this summer but it’s not to be.

Here we are, halfway through the year from hell – what I’d do to wake up one morning and to discover that the past six months have been nothing but a nightmare, sadly that’s not the case and so I continue to try and look at the lighter side of things. So without further ado, here are some of the things which I have #LikedandLoved throughout June. Fun In The Sun Every now and then (like once in a blue moon) us Northerners get to see the yellowy-orangy ball in the sky and though it’s often hidden behind a cloud, …

#LivingArrows – Sandy Strolls 24/52 (2020)

by RachelSwirl June 15, 2020

Thanks to the glorious weather (minus the random thunderstorm and tropical downpour that we had yesterday) the children have been enjoying daily strolls through the fields and along the shore with their beloved basset. We are so lucky to live just a leap away from the beach, what more could a kid want than the sand dunes and the shore to slide and to stroll along at their leisure? Down In The Dunes A Sandy Stroll I won’t lie – I do tend to get a little fed up with the sandy socks constantly being thrown into the washing basket …

by RachelSwirl July 14, 2019

Click here for further information and guidelines upon this linky should you wish to take part. With less than a week to go before the summer holidays kick start, the kids aren’t alone in getting a little giddy at the concept of a holiday, I too am rather looking forward to some time out. I can’t wait to be able to switch the alarm clock off, throw the lunchboxes into the cupboard and to rule out …
