101 things Version 4
Well oops I forgot to update my last list which had the finish date of October last year.
Oh well onto the next one. I’ve created my new list which you can view here. I started on January 1 and will finish on September 27, 2025. Let’s see how many we can cross of this round.
Around here in 2023
Welcome to 2023! Yeah I know it’s nearly the end of January but life has been a bit more relaxed since Christmas. We’re enjoying the warm days, sleeping in when we don’t have work, the kids are sleeping in the tent most nights. Cricket is on the TV. Life is just generally slower before the rush of back to school and more structure in the first week of February.
The eldest is off to High School this year so that will be interesting.
Anywho, what can you expect here on the blog for 2023?
- I’m starting with a good clean up. The majority of my craft posts will be leaving, they may turn up on my craft blog – Nightwolf Crafts.
- I have a couple of Catching Up posts scheduled that I wrote towards the end of 2022 and never posted.
- In the Den Kitchen is going to get a major revamp. I’m not sure what as yet but it’s going to change.
- I’ll be archiving a bunch of outdated posts.
- Still posting my planner setups and weekly layouts.
- A new 101 things list (the last one finished in October 2022)
- More of the Travelling Tasmania series.
- Party planning for a 13th and 9th birthday
- A new series of posts.
- General posts about blogging, family, food and planners.
- I’m hoping to branch out a little in 2023 with some planner things but we’ll see how that goes
Hope you all had a good Christmas & New Year and I hope 2023 is a good year for you.
Um, hi there
It’s been a little while and here we are in December already.
I’ve got my Christmas pretties on and over the next few weeks I’ll be doing a bunch of catching up.
We’ve had a few major life changes but that’s another few posts for another day.
RIP
Thank you Ma’am. May you rest in piece
Happy December
and happy first day of Summer (& nearly Winter). The weather here is gorgeous today and I’m enjoying the cool breeze from the air con.
Lots going on here this month
- end of school shenanigans. Pool parties, presentation assembly, big finding out if she’s made student leader in 2022, getting end of year reports and finding out class placements for 2022.
- Summer holidays. No big plans as yet. A few day or weekend trips around the state so be on the lookout for some new posts in our Travel Tasmania series.
- Christmas and all that entails.
- Summer solstice, thinking we might beach it this year.
- I’ve got a few blog posts scheduled on different topics, the first will be up tomorrow.
That’s about it at this stage. Hope you all have a great month.
