Blog Journal Day 3 – Proudest Moments
As a wife and mum, inevitably I am most proud of my kids and husband.
My 3 kids, each when they were born :-
(no – not triplets, it was 3 c/sections over 7 years)
You can see how they look now in the latest blog header above.
My husband – he is a my best friend, a wonderful dad and husband and does an amazing job
Other proud achievements
This blog – when I started blogging it was to share my digital scrapbooking. I didn’t tell anyone I knew in the real world for months! I was not sure anyone would want to read it, never imagining what a wonderful community of friemds I would discover through the world of blogging. So here I am, 3 years later, still blogging!
Here are are a few of my previous blog headers:
My digital scrapbooking – for something I taught myself to do, I love being creative, making layouts for myself, having others PAY me to do it for them, and getting some of my layouts printed!
A few early layouts
And being published in a REAL magazine, that you can buy in a REAL shop
My jewellery – that I have created a small business which again PAYS me to do something I love.
So what makes you proud?
This post is part of a challenge to blog daily for a month with different prompts each day. You can see links to the other participants here, and you are welcome to play along at any time.
I am also joining in for the first time at Chatting At the Sky Tuesday Unwrapped as for each of these I am proud of, I am also so very thankful for.
I just had a proud moment! I learned how to add a link on my blog! Seriously, my two girls are among my proudest accomplishments. Carla
Those are all amazing achievements. I am so impressed with your scrapbooking, I only really discovered it this week following participants in Toddler Awesome’s theme a day project. It looks really cool and I’ve got to make time to learn more.
Some pretty great achievements there, JanMary!
I’m proud that I’m still here blogging.. Every time I wonder if I should just hang it all up, I tell myself I’ll go one more day. Two years later and I’m still here.
You are an amazing talented, blessed woman! I’m so glad I get to “know” you across the ocean.

(trying again) I love the “being published in a REAL magazine” comment.
Our youngest’s school class fell foul of one of those “get your poetry into a real book” competitions, where the only people who buy the book are the parents whose kids poetry is in the book and everyone who enters gets in! That was quite a few years ago though.
G’day JM
Why my proudest moment was when I graduated … at age 43. Our daughter graduated from high school the very next day. How cool is that? All the years I told myself I “never needed a graduation certificate for anything” – well that was all a cover up. Even if I should never again need it to secure a job, it did something deep down inside of me to know I COULD do it.
Of course, like you my husband and children are right with this moment – they are the REASON I pursued it, after all.
Lovely post as usual, thanks for a good read during my morning coffee.
I’ve been working on a tatted piece of jewellery, my own pattern and I am very excited at how its turning out. Will have to send you a sneak preview.
Wishing you an extra special day today!
Love,
Barb
