This day last year I published my first post on this blog. I’m still blogging, I’m still at home, I’m still happy.
It has been a great year (more on that here) and I am very glad that I gave blogging another go, having set up a cookery blog in 2008 and only posting periodically. Since setting up Three Sons Later I have found that I have quite a lot to say on quite a lot of topics.
Some days I am really pleased at the quality of my writing. Other days I am more focussed on the topic than on the writing and it irriates me when I can’t put my thoughs onto the screen exactly as I would like to.
My writing isn’t as good as I would like it to be. Practice probably won’t make it perfect, but it has improved it, and I hope it will continue to improve.
As for the content, I have tried to write what I know about and what interests me and not be steered by what others are doing or want me to do.
I don’t feel I have veered off course too much. My original idea was for this blog to be a reflection of me and our life. So, here’s to many more years of Three Sons Later. May it grow and develop, just as my boys do.
Cheers!

Congrats! Happy Birthday to your blog! Here's to many more years x
Thanks Kim! Now that I have one year done, continuing doesn't seem daunting at all.
Your blog is great and I think you're like me – I'll just write about whatever interests me at the time and if other people want to read and chat then that's great! Happy blogaversary! X
Thanks Sam. That's something I love about your blog. You mentioned the term “muddled niche” once and it struck me as apt for my blog too.
Happy birthday to your lovely blog 🙂
