Life in reverse

As I've been working on ideas for activities and typing up posts and looking at resources, I've thought about what I want from this blog and where I see it going. I'd love to post about activities we do and how they went and what we liked or didn't like. I'd love to add to my lists. I would love for other people to benefit from these posts. This isn't about step families. This is about quality time with families. Any kind of family. It's about connection. I've also thought that I might not be able to be super consistent in my posting since my bonus kids aren't with us very much.
With that, I hope to get feedback from others. What worked for you? Did you like a particular idea I posted? What have you done in your family that was successful? What wasn't successful?
My other thought is that my life with children is kind of going in a couple directions. I jumped in to teenagers. My bonus kids were 11 and 13, so here I am trying to come up with ideas for teens, long before I'm trying to find activities to engage a toddler or young child. As my teens age into adulthood, I'm going to flip back down the ladder to little kids. That may shift my audience. Hopefully a lot of these activities can span the age gap in kids, but as my baby gets older, I know things will change.
Life rarely goes as you envision. But life takes you where you need to be. I wouldn't trade my husband, my two teens or my baby for anything. My baby will be blessed to have a brother and sister to look up to. They might not connect the way I connect with my sister who is 6 years younger than me, but they will have their own special relationship.
I look forward to seeing what God has in store for me and my family. Maybe this blog won't go anywhere or help anyone except my family. And that is okay. My first priority is to bless my family and if in doing that, I can bless others . . . well that will just be icing on the cake.

And I love cake.
