We are really here! It’s 2017 and in a couple of month’s I will be celebrating my 2 year blogiversary. 2016 was crazy!
A few days ago I wrote my Year in Review, looking back over what I’ve achieved in my personal life and the blogging world. Now I’m looking at what I can do in 2017.
I have never been great at keeping to goals. Maybe for a New Year’s Resolution I can make one by sticking to my goal plan! Don’t get me wrong I’ve been very good at keeping to my bucket lists which I have made each month but they are not ‘proper’ long term goals.
To turn my blog to where I want it to go I need to come up with acheiveable goals. I have been taking part in Aby’s course’s from You Baby Me Mummy to help me get on the right track.
So here we go!

I have made my husband my accountability buddy to help me achieve these goals. He is always very interested in my blog. Mind you I think I’m always chattering away about it to him so he doesn’t really have a choice!
Happy New Year!
I hope you have enjoyed reading my 2017 goals. I would love to hear what are your goals for 2017, blogging or personal.
Great goals! 4x a week is totally insane though, I can barely get done 3x and I consider it already a part time gig!!! ;(
You are so well organized. I hope you manage to do all of them.
They seem like sensible and achievable goals. I have even finished Aby’ s course. Argh. And I’ve got 5 courses I paid for last year to finish. My nemesis and I’m finding I have less time for them. Good luck with your goals
These are so organised and quantifiable. I need to get more with the programme than ‘post more x’ and this has inspired me. Thanks!

These are really realistic and achievable goals – I look forward to seeing how you get on. Happy New Year lovely x
Thanks Donna, Happy New Year to you too! xx
