Happy New Year from the 3 of us!



So here we are at the end of 2015.

Over the last 5 years of blogging I have always rounded up my year and done a “My 2015”post, something that I was tempted to do here.
However, I have decided not to do it this year.

I decided to take the last week off from Blogging and instead enjoy the family time and the true enjoyment of the Holidays with the Boys; which actually ended up being quite refreshing and enjoyable.
What I have seen this coming week was lots of “My 2015” and I have enjoyed catching up with some of you. However, I was reading one of my favourite bloggers round up and I thought to myself “I know all of this; I’ve been reading it all year”

Then it dawned on me that this is exactly it. We are bloggers; we document, write, publish and share ourselves to the world. Within this realisation I acknowledged that I will also probably see older posts rescheduled this coming year.
So it almost felt a little pointless for me to sum my year up because the regular readers will probably know that this year has been one hell of a rollercoaster for us all.

What you don’t know from me is that the one steady thing this entire year has been all of you!
I have made some really close friendships through this blog and that is something that I am incredibly grateful for. I have read some brilliant posts that have touched every emotion possible; I have cried, laughed, got angry at injustice and learnt a lot along the way. This is all down to you.

At the start of 2015 I had no idea what I was faced with but whatever came my way, good or bad, with the Boys or just my personal life, you have been there with me.
This blog has grown massively this year, way beyond anything that I could have imagined. Yet, I still have lots of goals for it and with that to carry on pushing it further to get it to its full potential.

In January this year I only had a Twitter account and my wish was to reach 400 followers. This seemed like a massive jump from the 189 that were following me. So to actually reach 4,000 this year is incredible!
This is then added to the fact that I now have Instagram and Facebook accounts for the blog and they too are in the thousands. I can honestly say that I didn’t expect it at all and am truly humbled by the fact that it is growing.

This I can say all comes down to you all. Thank you for reading about my life, my world, the Boys and about Home Schooling.  You have all taken the time to get to know us and actually support all three of us in different ways because of this we can never truly say Thank you.
We really do hope you have a fantastic New Year coming up and get all the love and blessings that you deserve.

If you get 2 minutes free please visit either our Instagram or our Facebook where you will find that the Boy have a Thank you of their own! Happy New Year!
