by RachelSwirl September 27, 2024

Welcome to this month’s #LittleLoves post, you are very welcome to join the linky and to share your #Littleloves by commenting on the post. September may be a shorter month than most but it’s been jam-packed in this household. We’ve had changes all round in this household as E made a start at secondary school, J is now in his final year, and I’ve adjusted to a whole new routine with my new role. So without further ado, here are a few of my #LittleLoves for September. Read I haven’t had quite the same amount of time to sit and read …

#LittleLoves – October 2023

by RachelSwirl October 27, 2023

October has been a quiet month. We haven’t done a huge amount but given that we’ve spent the past two weeks recovering from the lurgy (covid), there’s not a lot that we were able to do other than to ride out the virus. Thankfully we’re all better now other than having such rattly chests that we sound like heavy smokers thus I’m hoping we can march on through till Christmas without having to raid the medicine cabinet. Despite enduring illness, here are some of our #LittleLoves from the past four weeks or so. Read Having finished and really enjoyed the last …

And just like that, it’s the final Friday of November 2022. I can barely believe that it’ll be December come this time next week – I’m really not ready for Christmas this year nor in the mood, I guess I’d best get my glad rags together and plaster a smile on my face for the kids’ sake at least. So without further ado, here are some of my #LittleLoves from the past month.

#LittleLoves – October 2022

And just like that, it’s the end of the half-term holidays and the final Friday of October 2022. Whilst I’d love to share that we’ve had an action-packed month filled with fun and frivolities, it’s been far from it. Rather than dashing here, there, and everywhere like most half-term holidays, we opted to save some pennies and enjoy the week as a family resting and relaxing with a range of crafts, games, and a trip to the local swimming baths. Despite having been an incredibly difficult month, I’ll do my best to look for the lighter and brighter aspects of …
