Things that I have #LikedandLoved in September 2020

by RachelSwirl September 30, 2020

So here we are at the end of September and I won’t lie – it’s not been the easiest nor the most pleasant month but still, I’ll do my best to list a few of the things which I guess that I have #LikedandLoved over the past thirty days. Starting School Both J & E moved up a stage as E transferred from the infants to the juniors, whilst J moved from being a junior to a senior school student. It feels weird seeing my ‘not so little man’ dressed in an entirely different uniform, catching school buses and all that …

#LivingArrows – School Starts & Applications 36/52 (2019)

by RachelSwirl September 9, 2019

The kids are now back to school and back to the regular routine. It’s been less than a week but already summer feels like it was a million years ago. J is now in the final year of primary school, I cannot believe how fast time has flown! He’s grown into such an amazing young man; he’s independent, responsible, helpful and caring, I couldn’t be a prouder parent. Given that he’s now double digits, I’ve finally loosed the leash and allowed him to walk home from school with friends, it’s a twenty-thirty minute walk along a busy road but I …

It’s officially the last day of September and once again time for me to write-up the things that I have ‘Liked and Loved’ throughout the past month.

So without further ado, here are a few of the things that I have ‘Liked and Loved‘ throughout September 2017. …

#LivingArrows – Savouring Every Moment 39/52 (2017)

by RachelSwirl September 25, 2017

After what I can only describe as a whirlwind of a weekend both the kids and us adults are utterly exhausted. It was literally a none-stop till you drop couple of days, our routine went straight out of the window and whilst we each had great fun it felt rather unusual and I wasn’t too keen on being apart from my kids nor my husband for that length of time. Paul left early on Saturday morning for his brothers stag party in Sheffield whilst I kept the kids entertained until later that evening. Having work myself I then left the kids for …

Sifting Through My Summer Bucket List

by RachelSwirl September 14, 2017

Prior to the summer holidays I wrote a bucket list of all the things that I intended or wished to do throughout the six-week break. Before I begin writing a similar list for Autumn I thought that I’d first reflect upon my original bucket list to see how I got on… Looking Back At My Summer Bucket List To enjoy a well-needed holiday to Majorca with the husband and the kids, making full use of the all-inclusive as well as all nine of the swimming pools included on site! We certainly enjoyed our holiday to Majorca and have already started …
