Happy 2026 everyone~!
It’s taken me a little longer than I’d like to get back to the swing of writing again, but here I am. It hasn’t been too long since my last post so I’m excited for that.
I am ready to get back into blogging and reviewing and giveaways! Giveaways are just so much fun~!
Life is a lot different now than when I started my blog originally. For one, most of my kids are adults now. I only have one child under the age of 18 so that really has changed how things have been. I wonder if I can/should change my blog name? I don’t want to start all over, but I don’t know if the name fits anymore. I guess I am still a mom, regardless of if all the kids are grown now.
I am working right now on updating the general appearance of the site, it’s a little slow going as I am not 100% sure of what I want, but I’ll get there. Slowly yet surely.
I hope that the start of this year has been good to you. For now, I’ve been really busy and worn out and still recovering from that post holiday slump.
Winter is hard, and my fibromyalgia tends to flare up worse with the cold weather. Maybe it has to do with the arthritis as well? I don’t know, either way it has been a rough cold season. I’m still kicking it though, working on things as I can. Organizing my pantry (nothing overly aesthetic, I’m not great at that nor do I have the money), organizing my desk/office area, still making sure I take time to engage in my hobbies, and returning to blogging on top of it all.
The kids are aging, the cats are aging, I look in the mirror and I too am aging. One thing that has been stressing me out is looking in the mirror and starting to see how much I am actually getting older. Aging has always frightened me. So I guess I’ll be blogging about that as well, the navigation of growing older even though I’m scared of it.
Still, I hope that we’ll get to be on this journey, and thank you all who have been around during this time even when I’ve been quiet or basically MIA.
I look forward to coming back in full force, but expect that it’ll take me time before I am writing multiple posts a week at this point. Still, I am looking forward to it anyway!
I’ll see you around soon, and hope to write something not just a general little update before the end of next week.
