We, seriously, WE did it… Actually YOU did it!
Thank you so much for helping to make my 40th birthday dream come true!
Over 30 of you reblogged my initial post, and so many people, new members of my Blogily, hit that follow button! You seriously made my day/week/month/birthday!!!
It’s times like this when I know our community is so strong, and if you do care for your blogily, they’ll look out for you too!
Huge thank you again to you all!
So, my dear new friends, what to expect from me…
I’m a wife, mum, daughter, sister, and teacher… Inspiration comes from all these roles, and I try to use my personal experience to write.
You will meet my Hubby Dearest, Lil Man, my 10 year old son, Lil Princess, my 7 year old daughter, and Sonu Singh, our Punjabi Kitty, among others along the way!
I am a bit random, but organised in my randomness too (I am a Virgo after all. Can’t let go too much!).
You’ll get lots of positivity, I’ll try to give you something to giggle about, or think about most mornings, and in the evening, there is anything from my Kids Logic series, anecdotes, or memories, something creative, or even recipes! I am 2 chapters into a story I started to write, which I am posting on Wednesday evenings too, and I would love your feedback on that too! You can see the first two chapters Here. A huge favourite on here, is also the mini star of the blog, my cat!
I love to read your posts as much as I like to write, and am having a great time on vacation from school, as I can read and connect properly, but as soon as my teacher hat goes back on in 2 weeks, it’ll be a little harder… But I do try… My old faithful blogily can vouch for than, I hope!
So again, a huge thank you Peeps, you rock!!!!!
But I Smile Anyway...
