New Job, New Home, New Me!

You may have saw on my Instagram page that I said I would do a blog post explaining why I took a break from my blog well life has dramatically changed this past year for me and my family but in September in particular it changed and I am so excited for the future but needed to take time to focus on all that stuff then come back to the blog.
Now I know a few members of my family and also friends read this blog and I know there are some questions people probably want to ask and they won’t directly ask us and they will probably be answered further down below in the blog as well as answering rumours being answered so here goes.

2018 For Me #Blogmas2018

I thought I would recap the year, it's been a very emotional year and one that has good and bad, I feel like some parts of the year I wish I could erase it from my memory whereas some I wish I could relive.

Losing a family member
Technically he isn't blood family but I will always count Nick as my family. Nick had fought for years against cancer but sadly at the beginning of the year he lost the fight and passed away. It was the hardest thing to see and to happen, seeing his young children live without a family has been tough but I am so proud of Nick's wife Julie on how strong she has been and the boys, they have really done well. I just want to thank Loros (Leicester Hospice Charity) who looked after Nick and the family so please if you would like to donate to a charity then please donate to Loros.

Launching my blog
I had written a blog previously but kept privatising it, I felt like people would judge so I deleted it and thought I would start a blog when I feel confident and comfortable. I knew that there would never be a time so I just went for it, I have to be honest when a few family friends found my blog Instagram account @theblogofaliciamaude I felt like I had been caught out but speaking to one of them and now she is going to start a blog.
