On the eve of my last baby’s first birthday
I am sharing 12 ways you can play with your baby
One for every month of Edie’s first year
I am feeling very reflective this evening
With my soon to be one year old asleep in my arms
Thinking about many things
Big and small
Including the direction of this blog
I know that I need to decide on a niche
And focus on growing my followers
By producing quality content
That I truly believe in and feel proud of
I want to promote learning through play
I want to share the hundreds of play posts and ideas I have in drafts
I want to share my passion for play
Use my teaching knowledge and experience
I want my blog to live up to its name of being educational and inspirational
I want to find a way to make a living wage from my blog
So I can contribute more to the household
And so validate spending more time doing blogging things
I want to be an advocate, a champion for playing and learning
I want to somehow weave in travel and local days out
And also my love of literature for children
With my belief in books as stimulus for learning and play
But tonight
In honour of Edie’s first birthday
