New Year Wrap Up & Blog Plans!

Good morning everyone and Happy New Year! Here’s hoping 2022 brings you everything you wish and hope for.

I think it’s fair to say 2021 was a hard year for a lot of us. One of the biggest challenges for me this year was home schooling. I’m definitely not a teacher and I found trying to home school two kids while keeping a preschooler entertained hard work. Thank goodness for my lovely mum who bubbled with us early on and helped me though it. Through all the chaos there were some wonderful moments that stood out however. The many art projects which we never would have completed otherwise, exploring new areas around our house which we didn’t know about and the introduction of the reading garden which the kids still request today.

Other highlights was finally meeting up with friends and family, including a long awaited trip to see Stuart’s family in Scotland which the kids absolutely loved. We also managed to get away to the beach which is always good for the soul. The kids loved playing in the sand and even ventured into the sea!

Blog Plans for 2022:

Tunes For Tuesday:

After the success of this feature last year, I look forward to featuring even more fantastic artists next year. This month I have the lovely Dyre and the new single from the amazing Joshua Woo, plus a few new names for you to listen to. I’m looking to change the interview questions to something a bit shorter and snappier so if anyone has any suggestions about what they’d like to know about the artists do let me know!

Book features:

As well as more reviews, I’m hoping to start doing more interviews and wrap up posts keeping you all up to date with what I’m reading and enjoying. I made the difficult decision to return to work in October which I’m really enjoying but obviously impacted on my blog as I tried to negotiate everything. I’m trying to be super organised and get things planned ahead of times, making full use of the scheduling feature on WordPress. I hope to be able to bring you more regular, fresh content soon though life might get in the way sometimes.

Instagram:

My little book blog is also on Instagram and I’m looking forward to trying to grow it this year. Im going to be trying more stacks, taking creative photos and (if I’m feeling brave enough) maybe attempt my first reel!

If you don’t already follow me on Instagram or Twitter the links are below.

That’s all for now, thanks for reading and I look forward to sharing the book love with you all in 2022! What are you reading/blog plans for this year? Let me know in the comments below!
