Happy 2026!

Can you believe it’s 2026? I can’t…and I’m feeling a little bit sheepish right now as I realized that I didn’t blog for an entire year….so…I guess I’m back? We will see? There will definitely be at least one post this year and that’s more than last year. So by that logic, I guess I’m already winning?

So what do I want to do with this blog and this upcoming year? Well…that’s a work in progress. I want to express myself and write about things that are good and fun…for years I have said that I need to write my memoir of my years teaching preschool. I have 25 years of kid stories…and I think that I have a lot of life lessons that can be drawn through those stories. So I’m going to finally start writing my book. I will then use this blog to post these chapters. Hopefully, I will get some feedback on whether they work or not. That will help me see if it is actually something….or if its just a pipe dream.

On another hand I am now living a much different life than I thought I would…I am not only a mom but also a bonus mom…and I am raising adults and younger children at the same time. There are life lessons that can be learned from all of that. A good way to work though these life lessons is writing about things and that makes them easier to digest. This blog can be a tool on my processing journey. It helps me navigate my current life with its unexpected challenges.

Finally I’m a well rounded woman. I have lots of ideas, thoughts and concerns…so this can be a place where I talk about what I am dealing with and feeling and desiring.

So I’m back to blogging…back to writing…trying to figure out what I want to say and do…here’s to 2026!
