A is for ... "A" Blog Challenge!

I haven't really been inspired to write recently in fact I've been feeling rather laaaaazy.

I initially starting blogging as a way to keep my family over in Australia in touch with what our little family unit over here in NZ had been up to. Since then I have written a few posts about what we've done, some homeschooling stuff and not really much else. Unfortunately when we are really doing some fun stuff it often takes a little more of my time and energy and therefore I haven't had the pep (I didn't want to use that word energy again) to keep up with the blogging, even though that's usually the stuff that is more fun to blog about.

Also my peeps some of you may read my blog but because you never actually comment on the blog, it's kinda hard to know if anyone actually is reading it and again that can be a bit disheartening.

Now I really need some motivation to get back on the blogging treadmill, because I have discovered that I usually quite enjoy my writing time and actually doing something that is just for me.

Sue Elvis, yes true name my peeps, writes a lovely blog that I follow, Sue Elvis Writes. With a name like that I'd make it my blog name too! Just quickly in case I forget to say it, you should pop across and check out Sue's blog, she writes so beautifully and poignantly. I mostly follow homeschooling blogs for ideas and inspiration (and at times to feel inadequate) ... what's with those "moms" that post fantastic crafts and activities that they manage to do everyday, seriously do they spend all night thinking up new and exciting activities! ... anyways ...  Sue Elvis Writes is not about that, it's about her life, her family, her grief over the loss of one of her much loved babies and sometimes her funny musings. The lovely Sue does have another blog Stories of an Unschooling Family about unschooling her family if that's what you'd prefer. Crikey if she reads this she'll be thinking I am stalking her!

You may wonder why I even brought up Sue, well it's because yesterdays posting from Sue was about Angels and at the bottom of her lovely posting, she mentioned how Angels was her first posting in a Blogging from A - Z Challenge that she was participating in.




I took a look at the Challenge and have decided to take it on as "A" personal challenge. Hopefully it will give me the impetus to get back into the swing of blogging! If not I will crash and burn out gracefully.

Basically you are supposed to blog each day, excepting Sundays which we all know is a day of rest (or total collapse), starting with the letter A through to the letter Z.

I realise I have cheated a little with the "A" today but that's so I can let y'all know what I'll be doing this month (and I am a bit Johny come lately so haven't really given this much thought) and hope you will follow me along my attempt to do a whole month of blogging. I mean really, I could have also started my posts with April Fools Day, which would have been simple too, so give me a break!

Hmmm now B is for ...
