Today I have been blogging for 8 years however it feels very difficult to celebrate after the year I have had. I would firstly like to apologise for being so absent, for those of you who don’t know my mum died in January so this blog hasn’t been my main priority. On this day in previous years my mum made me a ‘Happy Blogday’ cake, my blog anniversary was in her important dates diary so she never forgot. I know a lot of you are still waiting for replies to questions asked long ago and I have no right to say I have been very helpful recently but I am trying hard to change that although to be honest I still have many days where I don’t really want to talk to anyone.

Most importantly I would like to thank all of you for your continued support, some days your kind words really help me get through. It may seem like I have given up on this blog but I have no intention of doing that, in the past couple of weeks I have noticed my motivation returning so hopefully that will continue in the months ahead.

To celebrate 8 years I am holding a Sims Freeplay Create a Sim & Building Contest, click here to find out all about it

As a lot of you know my mum died in January and I took some time off. Today I will start working on my blog again- I have a lot of comments to reply to as well as content to make so please be patient while I get through it all.

I also want to say a huge thank you to everyone who sent me messages of support at this difficult time, it means so much to me and I am so lucky to know all you genuinely lovely people 💛

Last week my wonderful mother died after a brave battle with pancreatic cancer. My heart is broken without my best friend, I have no idea how to go on.

Please be patient with me during this time, I didn’t want to let you down so I created posts for the new Freeplay update but I’m not ready to return just yet.

This is very difficult for me to write as I try not to say anything too personal online but I wanted to let you know what is going on and ask for your words of support and kindness as I really need that right now 💛

I will be taking a break for the rest of the year due to personal reasons, I don’t really want to go into details but I’m not sure when I will be back. I have a few posts scheduled over the next few weeks but I won’t be available to answer any questions.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas/ holiday season and make sure you look after your loved ones, if you cannot be with them this year please let them know how much you love them, life is short so let them know while you can 💛
