I’ve been spending every kid-free moment this week working on the blog. You’ve probably noticed. And if you say “yes,” you’re a big fat one. It’s a lot of behind the scenes schtuff, but I’ve made myself a goals list for 2015. Tis’ the season. Included?
1. Garner more reader comments
2. Create and incentive to subscribe
3. Increase gram followers
4. Reach into other blogging circles
And, don’t worry. I’m married to an engineer, so I have action items to go with all of these goals. Das how Mike rolls. Do you have any piping warm tips for this tapper?
I care enough to make sure you don’t miss out on anything I posted earlier this week. Obviously you have a good excuse for why you didn’t read. I forgive you. And I update you:
the caption for all of these photos this week is “melt”

I’ve been doing the same with my blog :-) Trying to balance out what I want to do with what I have time to do while still giving my kids the attention they deserve.
Have you listened to Brilliant Business Mom’s podcast? I just joined they’re 52 Weeks to a Better Business email thingy. So far so good :-) Although I’ve already noticed that you do some of those things, so maybe you’ve already listened and heeded the advice? lol
What plugin did you use for the little popup on the bottom right hand side for the digest signup? I’m thinking about doing a newsletter but havens’ decided what I’ll put in it yet lol
I’m also going to be doing a blog survey. One of my questions will be asking what other blogs they read. Then I might consider doing a guest post or somethin’ depending on the answers to that question.
mee too in the bloggy goals and year goals realm! I love your QT layout… Sorry I’m just now getting around to telling you that. I’ve laid off linking up for the last… What 3 months?! But I want to get back into and I’m most likely to copy what you’ve done here because AHHH ease.
Oh and tips??? From me? HA.
We’re moving out of India at the end of the year so I’m thinking my Mangoes+Monsoons blog title might need to be reworked to something a little less location dependent. Thanks for sharing the blog tips-I’ve stored them away for some rainy day work.
I love the pictures. They are always my favorite.
Oh I love the pictures!
You totally got me w/ the pop-up sign-up for the email! So cool! :)
