Blogging from A to Z Challenge: 2025 Theme Reveal!
Welcome to the Great and Powerful Blogging from A to Z 2025 Theme Reveal!
This is the 14th or 15th year of the challenge, I can’t rightly remember which, and I’ve been a participant since 2014. Like last year, and every other year, I will be writing my posts on the fly!
Before I reveal my 2025 theme, here are themes from challenges past:
- 2014: I blogged about our house, and the befores and afters of the renos we did and changes we made after buying it.
- 2015: I blogged about interesting places in Victoria (all close to home).
- 2016: I blogged about learning to use my DSLR
- 2017: I blogged about my ‘hood in Welcome to James Bay!
- 2018: I blogged about the wonderful world of wabi-sabi in photographs.
- 2019: I blogged about A picture-story a day (in the life, so to speak)
- 2020: I blogged about female photographers
- 2021 I blogged Photos and Stories
- 2022 I blogged Photo editing apps!
- 2023 I blogged My life in first drafts!
- 2024 I blogged A poem a day (with a picture)!
This year I am going completely rogue and flying by the seat of my pants with A to Z poem a day with pictures, and of course, we must remember that April is Poetry Month too! I will go in order from A to Z, but the words I choose will likely have little rhyme or reason, but it will give me purpose for a month and keep my mind from insanely stressful workplace issues going on right now.
So, I will see you tomorrow for my first post!

Pull Up a Seat Challenge – 2025 Week 13
Welcome to XingfulMama’s Pull Up a Seat Challenge
“As I get older I find myself more and more often looking for a place to perch when I am out and about. This might be a chair, a bench, a wall, a pew…maybe even a log or a rock. These spots can be artfully designed, quirky or very plain, sometimes they have a view, sometimes you meet someone else who needs a rest.”
