I think I owe my readers a thank you for this pictured indulgence. Thank you for not minding the odd sponsored post and review over the last year; I’ve done my best to make the blend and make them relevant and even improve my writing through doing them. It has changed the blog a bit, I know but it would have changed, or stopped, one way or another.
This is my Christmas present to myself; hopefully it will keep me writing and in touch and entertained through those oh so longed for evenings and days of feeding and huggling a baby come February. I’ve earned it from the blog this year and I’m rather proud of that. The blog paid for most of Xmas for my girls too and without that money, things would have been rather leaner this year.
So thank you and – squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I’m so excited to have it! ๐

Enjoy your new toy. My husband would be so jealous of the iPad and a wife who made money blogging, instead of just “wasting time”.

Tell him I blogged for 8 years first, just building a reputable blog that would one day have good content and ratings ๐ all for myself and just to have a record. Any financial reward has been very recent!

iPads are great. I wonder if you’ll find your kindle somewhat redundant now?
merry says
I don’t plan to take this out and about at all whereas I have my kindle, in it’s case, lots of the time. My kindle is lovely and book like in it’s case and I love it being not backlit, so I don’t think so.

Good for you Merry! I look forward to sending messages back and forth at 4am feed times come February! Lots of love for these final weeks x
merry says

Ooo squee! Good for you, that is amazing! Also grinning ear to ear at thought of the accompanying huggling. Love, love, love! C xo
merry says
It’s quite an act of faith ๐

This is awesome! Are you going to use it for educational purposes? I was home educated for years and wish there had been such a thing back then! ๐
