#LivingArrows – Getting Back Into The Groove 34/52 (2021)

by RachelSwirl August 23, 2021

We’ve been living back at home for a week now and though things are still a bit up in the air as the kitchen isn’t completely finished and we are currently living with plywood temporary flooring throughout the downstairs, it’s good to be back in our own house and gaining some normality. We’ve celebrated not one but two birthdays this week, I must admit I was a little worried that we’d be having to do this from my Mums house. Thankfully that wasn’t the case and we managed to hold a party here at home for our little lady. Now …

by RachelSwirl April 30, 2021

We’ve had a pretty awesome April all things considered and most of that was thanks to the wonderful weather, the lighter nights, and the easing of the lockdown measures.

by RachelSwirl May 18, 2020

When it comes to our homeschool routine, my husband I and I tend to split the days in terms of leadership. Paul (and the kids of course) usually start the day by having a workout with Joe Wicks from which they then cool down with drinks, snacks, and the latest episode of Newsround. I then step in by leading the literacy, spelling, handwriting, reading, and numeracy whilst Paul’s locked in the office busy working from home. Smiles for Spelling Once work is out of the way, we then have some lunch followed by a break during which the children usually …

#TheOrdinaryMoments – Rest, Relaxation & Weekend Walks

by RachelSwirl July 14, 2019

Over the weekend my husband often takes the kids and the dog out on walks, leaving me to catch up on the housework or to take five and enjoy the peace. As much as I love spending time with my family, it’s also healthy to have time out and to spend a little time in your own company now and then. I love looking through the photos which Paul takes whilst out on his walks, the kids always wear such wide smiles, even the dog looks happier somehow! I sometimes feel guilty for taking five, as if I should be …
