My quandary was time. I love to blog, but realistically how much time do I have to spend on it? Life sometimes gets in the way. Who can plan for the unexpected? Who would've thought my son would go to State and then actually win State? And after all, my first 3 priorities are my faith, family and my job, which provides my reliable source of income and, let's be honest, gets me out of the house. Even so, blogging is an easy 4th. While things went even as they did, I still managed to grow my blog, produce content, do reviews, and host giveaway events. More importantly, I still love to blog and don't dread opening up my browser to create! Here are some of the highlights of 2014!
- I was flabbergasted at the high water usage in certain areas of our desert state and I ran into an all-too-common occurrence as we build further and further into wildlife habitat!
- I had a crazy driving adventure due to road-rage and was "under"whelmed by our legal system and the abundance of frivolous lawsuits happening everywhere.
- I was ever-concerned with my diet, health and beauty and perseverated about how my genetic make-up was perfectly good and acceptable, despite popular argument and evidence to the contrary!
- I hosted an average of one giveaway per month and my favorites were Magic Zoo Jewelry, Cariloha bamboo sheets, Mrs. Fields Cookies, Classical Stretch Season 10, Rejuvenator Microbubble Showerhead and Rainshadow Labs!
- I started two linkys - Motivating Monday and Sabbatical Sunday! These will be continuing throughout 2015 because I love to read your blogs and learn from your experiences! I don't ask anyone to follow other blogs, but I do promise to promote all link-ups on one of my social media channels! 'Cause I love you!
What are your goals, blogging or otherwise, for 2015?

I'm hoping to get more publicity for my blog in 2015.
I have some goals for my blog also this coming year! I need to really promote my blog more and get the word out about it. I want to do more giveaways also and try to post at least 4-5 times a week! I slacked off a little with the holidays but I'm jumping back into the swing of things!
Good to hear that you have your priorities straight...and good luck with your goals for the new year! Special thanks for the great giveaways!
These are great goals. I don't really make any resolutions, but I am trying to make more homemade and healthy meals.
Me too, I dont know what happened but my traffic grew but Alexa ranking shrunk in less than a month. Weird
All I really want to do this year is get healthier. That means dropping pounds for my diabetes & arthritis.
These goals are amazing I wish I could stick to goals I want to achieve but things always get in the way..
I love these goals
I think you have done a wonderful job!! Keep up the great work work!!
I've noticed with youtube that it's hard to keep a constant stream of content that brings people in. But don't give up! Just keep on working :)
Everything goes smoother with goals! Good job!
My goals this year is get a car(used) so i can be independent once again,get my diabetes under control,and get a house!
Through one of your giveaways I became acquainted with your sites and blogs. I can appreciate that time is valuable, and there are other priorities. That being said, blog when you can, enjoy being busy, and good job.
I think bloggers must be some of the busiest people I know. I am hoping to eat healthier in the upcoming year.
great goals! I really need to come up with some!
I don't blog but, I can imagine it would take up quite a bit of time. You've got a full plate so please take time off if you need it. The goals you set are very realistic and not too over the moon. I'm wishing you happiness, health, and luck with your goals in 2015!
I've enjoyed looking at your blog! Just found it. Hope all goes well in the new year.
We are hoping to declutter and move to a bigger place
I really hope to take better care of my numerous health problems in 2015.

I think that you will do very well. Good luck
Wow, you had quite a year....2014 was not a good year for our family. May your 2015 be blessed.
I'm sorry to hear that, Kelly. I hope that 2015 will be much better!
I know what you mean about not having enough time. I think your goals are great and keep up the good work! =)
