Well, guys, I survived NaBloPoMo! Posting every day for the month of November has been a challenge - but my blog is better because of it.

Here are my reflections on the past month:

• The number one way to overcome writer’s block is to write. By posting every day, I have gotten the creative juices flowing. I am always on the lookout for a good topic. And my family is a great subject (much to my son’s chagrin)
• Increased readership has been a big bonus of daily posting. My subscribers have doubled from 38 subscribers on October 30 to my all time high of 73 subscribers on November 27. (If you haven’t yet subscribed be sure to click the big orange RSS button on the right or enter your email address to receive my posts in your inbox).
• Through NaBloPoMo I have found so many other great blogs and met other parenting bloggers like myself.

So while the task has been tough, the results have been so worth it!

Now my blogging buddy Sherri - The Rebel Housewife has asked the big question - “Will I continue this daily blogging pace?”

I am sure going to try. But I think I will keep weekend blogging to a minimum. My family will appreciate that!

See you on Monday.

No doubt you have seen this big orange button all over the net. It comes in many different shapes and sizes but it means only 1 thing - RSS.

Huh? Here is a good RSS guide and tutorial. But if you don’t want to bother, just know that it is a way to get instant updates from my blog.

Before I was a blogger, I had no idea what RSS was, and I really didn’t have time to figure it out. When I found a site I liked, I would just bookmark it and check back every so often. But I would miss some good stuff because I didn’t check back often enough.

But now there is another way to get regular updates from this blog. Just enter your email address in the form on the sidebar or right here. It will be kept PRIVATE! I hate spam - and will not distribute your email address in any way. You will then get a daily email with all of my latest posts. Easy - the info comes to you. And, of course, you can unsubscribe at any time.

Click the orange button above to subscribe in a reader or enter your email address below to get my latest posts in your inbox. As always, your email address will be kept private.
