Coming back!

Sorry for being such a crappy blogger lately. Real life has been a pain in the you-know-what but I've finally managed to pull everything together and hope to have a proper update for you very very soon.

Lots of love xxx

Happy Birthday, June 2026

Eve and her boyfriend Gabriel are ready to welcome their baby into the world. Eve is feeling surprisingly well considering that she's been in labour for a few hours now. Maybe the torture she puts her body through as a ballet dancer helps with the labour pains. Gabriel just tries to support his girlfriend the best he can.

Heaven knows

Round 16: May 2026


Sam Cooper is 48, Grace is 43, Madelyn and Ross are 15 and James is 10.
(Greg is 33 and Jeremy is 15.)


Narrated by Sam.

Ross came out as gay last year and I'd be lying if I said I was happy about it. I didn't say anything to him about it but I guess he noticed because at some point it felt like he spent more time at his boyfriend's house than at home. I'm okay with it now that I've gotten used to the idea of my son having a boyfriend. Seeing him happy is what matters the most.

Everything we touch

Round 16: April 2026


Rianna Midlock is 56, Anthony is 52, Sara is 17 and Jesse is 13.
(Gabriel is 26, Eve is 25, Emily is 18 and Freddie is 16.)


Narrated by Sara.

I love weekends. I get to sleep in, I don't have ballet lessons and I can just unwind. Jesse and I both usually sleep late and then drag ourselves downstairs to have breakfast in our pajamas.

We had to renovate the pre-school class room to make room for all our new pre-schoolers. We have eight this year! Luckily Patsy has a lot of experience so she can handle the situation just fine. The kids have gotten used to school by now and she's even able to get them to sit down to do some work from time to time.

Happy Birthday, April 2026

The initial shock of the surprise pregnancy has worn off and Paige and Jack are excited about welcoming baby #3 into the world. Paige's pregnancy is showing so they've told their kids Todd and Emma who are very happy to get a little sister or brother in a few months.

Notes:

  • Just a little update to mark the beginning of second trimester for Paige.
  • I have my game open right now so hopefully I get an update done rather sooner than later.

Round 16: March 2026


(Eve is 25.)


Narrated by Lilly.

It's my senior year and I feel like I live and breath classes, assignments and term papers. The professors warned us about the work load and they were right! We're swamped but at the same time I really enjoy it because I know that next year I'll be qualified to teach - in case I actually get a job.
