Things that I have #LikedandLoved in May 2021

by RachelSwirl May 31, 2021

And so here we are at the end of another month but unlike most months, which flash by in the blink of an eye, May seems to have been somewhat slower going. I’m not sure whether it’s down to the endless wet weather or the fact that we’ve just had so much to do, either way, it’s been tiring and busy thus a little lengthy. So without further ado, here are a few of the things which I have #LikedandLoved throughout the past thirty-one days. J Turned Twelve God help us as this time next year we will have a…

#LivingArrows – Bigger & Better 31/52 (2020)

by RachelSwirl August 3, 2020

In hindsight, I wish that I’d marked the height of the kids at the start of the lockdown as I swear that they’ve grown like weeds over the past few months! Although J’s managed to outgrow my shoesize already, when we stand back to back, I’m still ever so slightly taller than him but only by millimetres. How?! How on earth is my eleven-year-old lad almost taller than me, I’m thirty-something years old and still can’t reach the cups on the top shelf but that’s by the by!

Things that I have #LikedandLoved in July (2020)

by RachelSwirl July 31, 2020

So here we are at the end of July already – it’s strange how quickly time flies by despite us having to battle the boredom of being stuck in lockdown limbo. So without further ado, here are a few of the things which I have #LikedandLoved throughout July. The End Of Term & The End of An Era School (or should I say homeschool?) came to a close for the academic year. J is no longer a junior, he has now finished primary school entirely, and come September will be moving on to senior school, whereas E has now finished…

#TheOrdinaryMoments – The Bouncing Basset

by RachelSwirl August 4, 2019

Prior to Maisy (our beloved but batty basset hound), we had Molly – our first basset hound, the basset that set the boundaries, the basset that put us in our place and truly introduced us to the breed; the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright bizarre! Second time around, therefore, we were fairly sure that nothing would surprise us, the basset hound is a creature like no other and we were fully expecting Maisy to be just like Molly in the levels of mayhem and madness only she isn’t… shes a whole different kettle of fish – or…

Spring Has Sprung And The Sun Has Returned.

by RachelSwirl February 10, 2016

I am actually quite overjoyed, the sun was back from its winter vacation today, God knows where it went to, probably the same place that all our lost parts from toys end up. Whatever, I’m so glad to see its back even if it was only for an hour before it clouded over. That hour meant that E had a chance to bounce out some of her Duracell bunny like energy before nap time, which in turn meant that nap time happened and I got time to have a brew and finish some bits and pieces around the house. I…
