I hope you all had a Merry Christmas! Time to get ready to head into the year 2025, and I have a feeling it will be another busy and crazy year. Like I said before, I am turning 50, and both of my kids are graduating, one from college and the other from high school.
My last full personal update was in August (read it here if you missed it), where I talked about my blogging struggles in 2024 with Artificial Intelligence on Google now and the Pinterest changes that have had a devastating impact on my blog. I haven’t given up, though, because I love my blog and being able to create things at home. That is where my heart is. I just don’t know where this is heading and if I will be able to financially keep doing it.
Since that last personal update, I got to go to NYC again for the annual Better Homes and Gardens Stylemaker event with my blog friends, and it was a wonderful time. I wonder if this event will continue the way we’ve been used to in 2025 since the editor-in-chief, Stephen Orr has left BHG. He is such a wonderful and inspiring person.
