Welcome to the March edition of #LittleLoves, which is part of a series that you are very welcome to join. Though March hasn’t been the easiest of months, I’ve decided to try and lift the mood a little by documenting some of the lighter moments.

by RachelSwirl March 7, 2022

Last week saw my little one dress up in her brand new Hermione costume as she took part in World Book Day. Her school was transformed for the day as the students were instructed to come dressed as a character from either Winnie The Witch or Harry Potter. E has been hooked on Harry Potter since earlier last year when she first began reading the books. Though she is yet to complete book four, she is loving every second of the stories, as did I when I first read them. As I’m sure you can imagine, E was elated when …
