August blog updates and monthly goals

Blog Updates

Let’s see, what’s new with the blog?  Well, we celebrated 3 years in July!  So that’s pretty exciting.  I’ve published over 650 posts, how crazy is that?  My social media also saw a lot of growth which I was super happy about.  I’ve finally hit 4 digits on all 4 of the major social media platforms (facebook, twitter, instagram, and Pinterest)!

I got to do two exciting things this past the month.  The first was travel to New York City and attend Blogger Bash.  This blogging conference/networking opportunity was a really interesting trip and I’m glad I got to experience it.  The other fun thing I got to do last month was be on a podcast!  I was on an episode of Talk about the Magic, which you can listen to here.

July goals

Let’s see how I did with July!

  • Update media kit for Blogger Bash (done!)
  • Attend Blogger Bash! (yes!)
  • Create (and follow) a monthly blog checklist  (nope, didn’t get to it)
  • Format e-book and prep for publication (really close – it’s all formatted except the index!)
  • Reach 1,000 instagram followers  (I’m up to 1,070!)
  • Try promoting one or two posts on facebook  (haven’t done this yet)
  • Make itinerary for Europe trip (I started it but didn’t complete it)
  • Stick to marathon training (yes, we are in week 6 now!)
  • Memorize lines for Catch me if you Can (yup, and the dance moves too!)
  • Plan meals and details for January Disney trip (meals, hotel, and flights booked!)
  • Straighten up/organize the house for 15 minutes per day (noooo.)

August blog goals

  • Get the e-book ready for publication or even published by the end of the month
  • Create (and follow) a monthly blog checklist
  • Update old photos from fall/Halloween posts
  • Try promoting one or two posts on facebook
  • Look into an ad program like Adproval

August personal goals

  • Register for the 10 mile Rocky Run in Philly before it sells out
  • Put all of my running music on my new iPod
  • Finish itinerary for Europe trip
  • Dedicate 1 hour per week to organizing 1 room of the house
  • Look into pricing/budget to attend D23

What are your goals for the upcoming month?  Did you set and achieve any goals last month?

    Congrats on the 3-year anniversary! And you have over 1000 followers on each of your social media?! Wow!

    I kinda want to go to the D23 in 2019 myself. I don’t work, so next year one won’t be feasible for me, but 2019 probably.

      Thank you!! If I don’t do 2017 I’ll definitely plan for 2019. I’d love to go every time but I doubt I could swing that haha.

About Me

Hi, I'm Becky!

I'm a huge Disney fan in my early 30's and always trying to find a way to put a little bit of Disney into everyday life. I live in Pennsylvania but travel to the theme parks several times a year - I'm an annual passholder at Disney World! In addition to Disney I love traveling, running, and theater.
