A big announcement

The blog, My Blonde Life, will continue. 

The frequency is changing, however, for 2026. I will post installments monthly (the third Thursday of each month) instead of weekly.

I’m considering my word for 2026, ROOM, and streamlining my life in ways I never before considered; my blog is one commitment I’m reordering.

This year is filled with exciting new things, and I’m making ROOM for them all:

  • Flicka and Snipp (who married in June 2025) are having a baby girl who’s due in June 2026. We get to be grandparents!

  • Ricka and Snapp (who started dating in June 2025) will be married in June 2026. We get another son-in-law!

  • Husband will retire at the end of 2026 (even though I’ll still be working full-time.) Half of us will enjoy more freedom, and that’s big!

Stay tuned for new monthly blog installments along our ever-changing way. Thank you for continuing to follow along with the writings of my life. I feel you out there, and I’m thankful for you!

*Names in this blog have been changed to protect my family, neighbors, and friends in the neighborhood, and in a nod of appreciation to the beloved Swedish author Maj Lindman, I’ve renamed my three blondies Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka and their husbands (present and future), Snipp, Snapp, and Snurr.
