30 Day Blog Challenge

 
Well this is it, the last day of the 30 Day Blog Challenge and I managed to blog daily (some times more then once a day) on the blog. I am really happy and I think this has motivated me to blog more on a daily bases.
 
Next week I will have a bunch of blog posts scheduled to post since I won’t be home next week, I will be in New York City for the week to attend Book Expo America and sight seeing.

Here is the topic for today:

 
What do you consider to be the best thing about starting a blog?
 
 
Today’s topic is perfect for today because I think one of the best things about starting my blog was to share my thoughts on books, beauty items etc with people who would be interested in reading what I thought.
 
Having a blog has allowed me to meet so many fantastic people both in real life and online Wither it be bloggers, authors or reps. Some of these people turn into life long friends.
 
Having a blog has allowed me to attend so many great book events (publisher parties, BEA, author events etc) as well as other events related to other aspects of my blog.
 
Thanks to me readers for taking the time out to read my blog, I appreciate it.

30 Day Blog Challenge…Day 2

 
Welcome to day 2 in the 30 Day Blog Challenge. Today’s topic is:
 
What is your middle name and what is it’s significance?
 
 
My middle name is Mary. Apart from it being a Saint’s name there is no other significance to it. I wish I had some fantastic story to tell you but I don’t.

Does your name have any significance to it?

30 Day Blog Challenge… Day 1

 
Today’s 30 Day Blog Challenge Day 1 topic is:
 
Put your iPod on shuffle. List the first 10 songs that play.
 
 
I was lucky enough to get my very first iPod this past Christmas and I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to download music on it. Well I have to tell you that I am NOT technology savvy at all and if I don’t have things laid out in front of me with detail instructions I suck at it so needless to say I only had a few songs that I purchased on it.
 
Thankfully my nephew came over this past weekend and explained and showed me how to download music onto my iPod so since then I have been gradually adding music on to it.
 
So I put it on shuffle and this is my 10 song list:
 
  1. Something Stupid by Michael Buble featuring Reese Witherspoon
  2. 22 by Taylor Swift
  3. Locked Out of Heaven by Bruno Mars
  4. You’re Gonna Miss This by Trace Atkins
  5. Good Times by Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen
  6. Closer by Tegan & Sara
  7. Marry Me by Train
  8. Its a beautiful Day by Michael Buble
  9. Scream & Shout by Will.i.am featuring Britney Spears
  10. Troublemake by Olly Murs featuring Flo Rider

30 Day Blog Challenge

 
When I was scrolling through my blog feeder today, I discovered this 30 Day Blog Challenge posted over on Insane Mamacita’s blog.
 
The idea behind this challenge is to get you back into blogging daily again. This is something that at times has been lacking on my blog. I always sit at the computer with the intention to blog but never do. I know this is normal with real life happening but I honestly miss blogging daily so perhaps this will motivate me to get back into it.
 
If you want to take part be sure to head over to this initial post over at Insane Mamacita’s blog and either email her or leave it in the comments with the link to your inital post.
