It’s not al doom and gloom though, there are always #LittleLoves in our everyday lives that bring smiles, giggles and the motivation to strive through life in lockdown.
It feels as though we have had a relatively quiet week. With life in lockdown ticking by without too much happening to put us off-kilter. The children have adjusted to being keyworker children and learning from home (for Roo). Whilst What The Dad Said and I continue to juggle our work shifts around each other and the children.
Halfway through the first month of the year and life in lockdown continues. With no end date for the national lockdown insight, this will continue to be our new normal for some time yet. In many ways, it is a life we have grown used to since this all took hold last year. It feels normal to ensure we have masks with us at all times and that additional hand washing is added to the routine.
Well, here we are again back in a national lockdown, time for life in lockdown 3.0. Whilst different parts of the UK lived with the changing of different tiers I don’t think many were prepared for the possibility and reality of another national lockdown. Sadly the tier restrictions haven’t helped the spread of the virus so we are once again asked to stay home, stay safe and protect the NHS.
That’s it, the festive season is over for another year. Christmas presents have been opened and explored. I’ve celebrated my 28th birthday (again) and the New Year bells have chimed. A quieter Christmas and New Year than usual – but I think we can all agree that there was nothing normal about 2020.
In the blink of an eye and the twinkle of the Christmas lights the festive season, for the most part, is over. Whilst December in some ways was much more low key than in previous years. In doesn’t mean that the days didn’t pass us by as quickly.
Despite the month being unlike any previous December I have experienced. As well as a lull in all the usual festive activities with the children. The month has passed me by in the blink of an eye.
It’s almost time to say farewell to 2020, the year I’m sure we’ll all remember for some time. Whilst it is easy to think about the negatives from the year, it is the positives, however big or small that maybe we should be focusing on. One of the reasons I opted to record my monthly goals throughout the year. Giving me something to focus on and a little kick up the backside too.
As we start to wave a fond farewell to another festive season. Looking forward to what the New Year has in store for us, I thought it would be lovely to share our life in lockdown Christmas, The highs, the lows, the fails and the successes.
Less than a week to go until Christmas Day and if I’m honest I’m not really feeling it. The presents have been bought and wrapped, Christmas cards written and sent but I’m just not feeling the usual festive buzz. I’m not sure if it is life in lockdown or a side effect of not having done anything festive with the children this year.
