The Siblings Project – July 2021

The Siblings Project - July 2021

How is it July already? Where has the year got to? We may have spent the majority of our time ‘locked down’ hiding away in our own houses whilst busy homeschooling and such-like but times flown by. I’m so grateful for the light nights and the wonderful weather that summer offers, it’s certainly a welcome break for those dull, dank, dark days which seemed to drag on and on especially as we were unable to get out even if we’d fancied braving the elements. Though the kids have been back at school for five months now, it’s not exactly been …

The Siblings Project - June 2021

Whilst the weather is still a little undecided as to whether it’s spring or summer, the lighter nights have made all the difference to our days. We’ve spent the past few weeks enjoying regular strolls through the woods, through the fields, and past the pond where we usually spend time feeding the ducks. The kids have been spending time outside either scooting and cycling around the cul de sac or having fun in the garden on their trampoline, on the swingset, playing scatch, splashing around in the hot tub, painting and drawing in the summerhouse, or simply taking five and …

The Siblings Project – May 2021

by RachelSwirl May 15, 2021

We are finally past the halfway mark to half-term and though our household thrives with a routine, I’ll be honest – it’s beginning to feel very much like groundhog day at present. We seem to do the same things day-in-day-out and though the covid restrictions are easing and things are beginning to open up a little, it’s not the case for us at present. Unfortunately, E came home from school with a tummy ache and a high temperature and so we’ve spent this morning tickling her brain with a swab stick at the local PCR test centre. As a result, …

The Siblings Project - April 2021

Despite the lockdown measures easing, we have stayed safe, and other than taking a couple of walks out in the woods, through the park, and such-like, we’ve spent the holidays at home. It’s been a funny few weeks weather-wise as it seems to flit from sunshine to snow without any warning. It’s been so unpredictable that we’ve been a little unsure as to what we should wear each day, it may well be spring but it’s not as warm as I’d have hoped! Despite the erratic weather, we’ve wrapped ourselves in various removable layers of clothing in order to enjoy …

The Siblings Project - March 2021

This month has seen both the kids and us adults make a staggered but swift return to routine, I won’t lie – I wasn’t entirely keen on the idea of schools returning on such a large scale as I still don’t feel nor believe that it’s safe as of yet, not until all age groups have been given the vaccine and case numbers are far lower than at present will I allow myself to relax upon the issue. Nevertheless, the kids are both back at school and despite a few worries and wobbles that they each had, they seem to …
