2026... well things may be a little quiet here… or I might pop in with the occasional family musing — I’m honestly not quite sure yet. I’m feeling a bit in limbo as this year begins, not quite knowing what lies ahead as I continue recovering from the shoulder surgery I had back in November. Rehab is slow, so I’m taking things day by day and looking forward to being able to do the simple things again! and hopefully, then get back to creating. 🤞
It’s a big year ahead for our family — another heading into high school, so this year will be grade 8, 7, 5 & 1. Last year, despite all kids being in school, it actually involved a lot of my time spent at school, or early pick-ups, part-time attendance. And while I know it’s not all about grades, despite all their daily challenges, they’re still doing amazing at school — with Miss 12 achieving dux of her school and Mr 13 accepting a place in the excellence program next year also, miss 9 finding her school groove again and Miss 5 caught the reading bug - So proud 💛
There was again the added challenge of my husband working away more than we would have liked — a big sacrifice for our family, but we soldier on. Here’s hoping this year brings him closer to home. 💕
What I do know is how fortunate I am to be able to be at home and support our kids in the ways they need, and when they need me most. Taking this year day by day, with gratitude and care ✨
New year blessings to you all. 🌻
