Welcome here! In this post I share something I rarely do – I look back at the blog’s numbers. For me it’s not about the numbers themselves, but about blogging development and writing: what the statistics reveal about which themes resonate and how the blog is growing.
I don’t write for numbers. Yet numbers can tell a story – they can reflect where my voice carries, which themes touch readers, and how the blog keeps moving forward. Looking at August, I don’t just see charts and percentages. I see stories about writing.
When the Oskar series was read – in Sweden and beyond
During August, the Oskar series climbed to the top. Posts about motivation, daily form, and even the struggle of tying shoelaces became the most read.
It warmed my heart to see that these posts mattered, because the subject is so important. We often say: “There’s at least one child in every class.” There is so much here that can make a difference.
Perhaps my words don’t immediately change classroom situations – change takes time. But maybe they planted a seed, sparked a new thought, or gave someone something to carry with them for a while.

This tells me I must keep writing about Oskar. The topic has so many vital parts: the children themselves, their parents, their teachers, and everyone around them. For example: why isn’t Oskar invited to birthday parties? Why do parent-teacher conferences become something no one looks forward to?
Grandmother, emotions, and relationships
One of the most read posts was about being a grandmother. This shows that the most personal and emotional posts touch readers deeply. When I dare to write from the heart, the words find their way.
For me, the grandmother role holds both love and pain. Writing about it reveals I’m not alone. Somewhere out there, someone recognizes the loneliness and grief of not being able to see their grandchildren.
This needs to be voiced. Not to shift responsibility, but to lift the shame from the feelings. It hurts every day, yet it’s important to share. Important to live life, even when there’s no place for me as a grandmother right now.
Every day I think of my grandchildren. How are they doing? Do they believe I’ve forgotten them? Do they know I love them even if we don’t meet?
I wish life looked different. Maybe it never will. All I can hope for is that one day they will know – the love was always there.
Motorhome life as everyday joy
My journeys with our motorhome LVL² return again and again among the most read posts.
Motorhome life and blogging development and writing – freedom on wheels
Motorhome life is freedom. You can stop wherever you are, and the endless chores disappear. You can’t spend hours cleaning a motorhome – it’s done quickly. That leaves time for reflection and relationships, which brings me peace.
Right now, at the end of the season, I feel both anxiety and calm. Anxiety that it’s ending soon. Calm, because the motorhome gives me a break from daily life. And also calm in knowing that soon it will be candlelight season at home, with the fire burning in the stove, and cozy evenings returning.
Maybe it’s recognition that makes others read. Maybe it’s the dream of freedom. Either way, I’m glad these posts come alive, because many of my words are born on our trips.
Blogging development and writing. The blog began speaking two languages
One of the biggest surprises was that the USA suddenly surpassed Sweden in traffic. English versions of my texts opened doors to an entirely new audience.
It really started with my husband. He asked: “Why don’t you write in English too?” I thought: “Yes, why don’t I?” I tried once, then again – and now it’s become a habit.
That readers in the US actually follow along feels amazing. At the same time, I wonder what they find here that’s meaningful to them.
Writing in English didn’t just become a technical shift – it became an opening to the world.
Blogging development and writing
Statistics are more than numbers – they’re a mirror of where my writing truly connects.
When I write close to the heart, I get the most clicks.
When I share everyday life, readers return.
When I dare to open up in English, the audience grows beyond Sweden.
Perhaps this is what blogging development is really about. Not chasing trends, but seeing where I am most true.
Reflection
August taught me that blogging development and writing is not either/or – everyday life, travels, emotions, and NPF (neurodivergence) all belong side by side. It’s the mix that gives the blog its strength.
I’ve never seen myself as someone who can read statistics. For me, they’ve always been numbers speaking another language. But maybe these numbers can help me grow.
I’ve learned something new these past months. When I nerd down into the blog, when I dare to try new things – that’s when I develop. Keywords, transition words, and SEO used to feel boring. Now, strangely enough, I find them almost fun.
For me, blogging development and writing is not about chasing numbers – it’s about being true to myself and letting the words find their way.
But I don’t chase numbers. I write because I can, and because I want to.
Between the lines – my voice
This post isn’t really about statistics. It’s about me. About how I use every experience – even charts and percentages – to understand life and writing more deeply.
Between the lines I’m saying: I’m on my way. I’m growing. And I’m sharing that journey with you.
AHA – between the lines
Statistics can be more than numbers. When I view them through the heart, they become a map of where my words find home.
What grows most in reader numbers is also what grows most in me: the courage to write about Oskar, the pain and love of being a grandmother, the freedom of motorhome life, and the step into English.

The day started well before five, with a cup of coffee and some bread baking. Since I had prepared the dry ingredients the night before, it only took five minutes to get the dough ready. Baking bread is something I truly enjoy – the little extra effort is always worth it. That smell of freshly baked bread filling the kitchen sets the tone for the entire day.
There was no morning swim today, since we had to leave early. If I had thought ahead, we might have traveled the day before and stayed at a hotel, which would have made the morning easier. But that thought only came to me as I was heading to bed. Well, sometimes you just have to take things as they come.
Along the Road to Stenungsund
In the early hours, after many miles on the road, we finally stopped for a much-needed coffee break in Stenungsund. That cup was essential for keeping my energy up, and with a sandwich in hand, things felt a little lighter. Although, to be fair, the sandwich wasn’t for me but for our little one.
After that, the trip went smoothly, and we arrived on time at our destination. Right now, I’m sitting in a spacious lobby filled with small sofas and lounge chairs – the perfect environment for writing and reflecting. My body is still a bit sore after yesterday’s massage, with small bruises here and there, but that usually fades after a day or two.
Living with Dyslexia and ADHD
Now, I want to share something close to my heart – living with dyslexia and ADHD in everyday life.
You know, that difficulty with reading and writing. Sometimes, I notice that there’s a sense of shame tied to dyslexia. I don’t usually talk about it openly, and I think many others do the same. Reading aloud is something I tend to avoid, but writing – that I still do, in my own way.
I often replace words with others, simply because I don’t know how to spell them. In a way, that has expanded my vocabulary, since I’m always searching for words that are easier to spell but still say exactly what I mean. The computer and its tools have been a lifesaver for me – especially AI programs that help me keep the red thread in my writing. ADHD makes my thoughts jump between topics, and here AI has been a great support.
Dyslexia in Daily Life and Work
For me, dyslexia is a disability – or, if you prefer, a functional impairment. It affects so many situations, like when I’m expected to read aloud or take notes in meetings. That’s when it feels like a real obstacle.
But in some contexts, it can also be a resource. With children who haven’t learned to read yet, I can adapt stories and tailor them to their level. Storytel has also opened a whole new world for me. Listening to books instead of reading them allows me to enjoy literature in a way that works for me – I’ve finally discovered authors and works without feeling left out.
Instructions, however, remain a challenge. Shorter, spoken directions would probably work better – but my high pace often makes me skim past details.
Closing Words: Understanding and Support
Dyslexia isn’t always visible to others, but for those of us living with it, support from the people around us is invaluable. Understanding the challenges and using the tools that exist can make a huge difference in how we manage daily life.
So, as I write these words, I hope more people gain insight into what dyslexia means – and that it’s something you can live with and even find strength in.
Now, the tiredness is starting to catch up with me, and I feel the need to go outside for some fresh air. Thank you for reading – and have a wonderful day!
Between the Lines – My Voice
This post says something deeper: about the courage to show vulnerability. About how shame often hides behind silence – but also how strength can grow when you dare to share.
Reflection
Living with dyslexia and ADHD is not only about struggle. It’s also about finding new ways. Perhaps our challenges hold the seeds of our unexpected strengths.
Afterword
Question for you as a reader: Do you have personal experience with dyslexia or ADHD – and what strategies have helped you manage daily life?
A morning on the move, bread baking, dyslexia and ADHD. Different pieces of daily life – yet together they form a whole.

Yesterday has already settled into history, tomorrow is still waiting. But right now – this is where life happens.
