Little Loves – Summer Holidays, Back to School and 4 years of Blogging

I have really missed writing up my Little Loves post over the summer, and I am glad the weekly link up is back after its summer break. I last wrote a Little Loves post back on the 27th July, a post that was filled with emotion as Katie had just finished primary school. Fast forward 6 and a bit weeks and she has just started high school, thankfully with a lot less emotion from me.

Anyway I wanted to blog about the past 5 weeks in our house.… Continue reading
