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!

Thanks for stopping by. Good luck to you as well on your blogging journey xx
These are really realistic and achievable goals – I look forward to seeing how you get on. Happy New Year lovely x
