What is it they say bout the best laid plans?
I took time off at the end of December to enjoy my first holiday with family in Indiana. I thought I would get so much writing done, but I pushed that aside for more family time. Then I thought I would get a lot done at the beginning of the year and be on track with great consistent content before ALT Summit at the end of January. I have managed to complete only a few posts in that time.
I am being gentle with myself because the things I chose to fill my time, over blogging, are as important. So you don’t think I am completely falling off the blog here I am with a little update.
While I haven’t had a lot of posts on my blog I have had a few on others and a few more coming this month.
I wrote, Getting off Your Butt in the Winter - tips on how to stay active during the winter, for Mamages. If you need some ideas to get moving during the cold months to come there are some unconventional ideas that might just do the trick.
I also wrote, Healthy Juice in Indianapolis - review of a great juice place in Indianapolis, for The Collaboreat. I have a second post coming up on January 26th about a local chocolate shop. You will see me on The Collaboreat a little more often as a contributor. I am excited about this opportunity and really love this blog. If you are looking for a way to travel and eat without leaving your house this it the blog you need to be following.
I also have a post coming soon on Small Company Artworks to help with the winter blues.
Outside of all that writing our house hunt went from dreaming to doing. In our search we found this gem. They just don’t make wallpaper like this anymore. That might be a good thing though in the right color palette this might not be half bad.
Once we finally close on a house I have a little house hunters post planned for you. You can find out if I picked the house with this amazing bathroom. I also have a few posts planned for fellow first-time home buyers that will help you know what questions to ask as you look for your first home and figure out how to finance the largest purchase you will ever make.
I have some upcoming posts in the works for the Super Bowl, the Oscars, a recipe swap and other miscellany. Some of these are larger collaborations with an exciting giveaway. With a few days off next week before I head to Salt Lake City I will get back on track and have a few posts up next week. Stop by on starting Monday for some good stuff.
The monthly email will actually become a monthly email this year. I never really got that off the ground last year, but have some exciting features for it this year. If you haven’t signed up for the emails now is the time. Starting this month each email will have a recipe or a helpful printable for the kitchen.
I think this year will be the most exciting yet for me and the blog. I certainly have ideas in spades.
I look forward to some great times this year and can’t wait to see where it all takes me. Hope to connect with you along the way.







You have so much coming up, I can’t wait! Not least for your guest post in a certain location . And this made me laugh out loud: “The monthly email will actually become a monthly email this year.” I hear you!
Melissa recently posted…love is in the air (and behind the magic curtain, along with some pets)
I don’t know why that email is so difficult to get out, but it never seems to be easy.
I can’t wait to see all you have in store this year! I know it will be fantastic! I can’t wait to hear all about Alt too! xo
Thanks Katie! I am glad that you will be part of the exciting things happening this year.
