Blogging Goals – 2010
When I began blogging on March 2, 2009, my intentions were to keep a record of Ridley’s growth and our family life. I’ve never been able to keep up with a hand-written journal, but I figured that surely I could handle blogging.
I had no idea how much fun (and work) blogging could be or the wonderful, amazing people that I would meet. 2009 has been a wonderful year of growth, stretching and new horizons.
I’m thrilled to say the least about welcoming in 2010! Why, you ask?
*Buckle your seat belts, okay?*
- Happy Housewife Living Life is moving to WordPress AND a new URL in the next few weeks!! To be perfectly honest, I’m scared out of my mind that y’all aren’t going to hang with me. But, you will, right?
- Conversation, Interaction and Community – With the move to WordPress, comment dialogue will be much easier and I’m working to expand interaction and community with the BlogFrog and a Facebook Fan Page. I want to get to know each of you better! (Leave me a comment or tweet me, so I can stop by your blog!)
- Growth and Expansion – I’m thrilled with the growth that my blog has experienced over the last few months! In addition to looking forward to greater expansion in 2010, I’m continuing to explore monetizing opportunities.
- New Features: Weekly “tutorial” vlogs about various topics including crafts, decor, and home organization; A “Making Sunday Special” series and sharing (a precious few) deals with you.
- I’m working on my Home Organization Binder which I hope to share with you very soon via Google Docs (that’s not hard, right?) so you can print out the pages and personalize them for your own home. Also, Kelly and I are working to get our “Become A Couponista” coupon class available for purchase and download, so stay tuned for that!
- Blissdom 2010: I’m waaayyyy excited about my very first blog conference in February! Seriously, I lose sleep at night because I’m just so wired about it! I can’t wait to meet so many online friends “face-to-face!”
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments, sweet e-mails and encouragement. I’m reminded daily of why I blog: for myself and for you – my wonderful readers! Ya’ll are fabulously the best around!
Cheers to a Fabulous 2010!

These look great, Myra…so much to learn and prioritize isn't there? Such a balancing act. 🙂
You are so inspiring, Myra! I love reading your goals for your personal life and for blogging – which are one in the same in a way, but different at the same time!
I'm excited for your move to WordPress! I've been thinking more about doing that with mine since you mentioned it :o)
Awesome on Blissdom! Yay!
Can't wait for more! Have a great Sunday :o)
Great goals! I really need to do the same thing and develop some specific goals.
See you at Blissdom!
Great goals! You will love wordpress! Yes it is a scary move, but it will be worth it!

Wow am I ever glad that I found you through #savvyblogging! I love your blog and am so excited about the goals you have set. I can't wait to see what comes out of all this! Feel free to visit my blog if you'd like – it's pretty much a fledgling thing but I am hoping to expand it SOON!

You are a wonder and an inspiration. I can't wait to watch you grow in 2010… I'm definitely sticking around. =)
I think you've done awesome for starting in March!!! I think you'll really like WP alot. I'm actually getting ready to purchase a domain too (just struggling with the domain name itself!!).
YAY about Blissdom!!! It will be my first conference, I'm so excited! Look forward to meeting you there!
These sound like some great blogging and really, life goals!
Good Luck. I'll be interested to hear how your WordPress transition goes. I thought about it, but I think I'm going to stick where I'm at for now!
Love, love, love your blog. Definitely gonna make the move with you. Both your sister and you inspire me and help me. Thanks for being you.
Of course I will follow you! 🙂 I love reading your blog, even tho I'm new to it, just subscribed in early December, but none-the-less it really sounds like you have your head in the right place and you have goals in place! I look forward to seeing what you have in store for your readers!

I'm visiting from Savvy Blogging; you have a wonderful blog! I'm so enjoying reading everyone's goals for 2010 and am inspired to try to reach my own!
Enjoyed reading your goals! I have loved reading your blog the past couple months and getting to "know" you better! 🙂
Hey Myra!
What well-thought out goals you have!
I can totally relate to losing sleep over Blissdom. I am so ridiculously excited! I just need someone to point me in the direction of a Blissdom Tutorial! I don't know what to expect, what to bring…or what to wear! Ha! I'm right there with you in the excited department!!
I'm here for the first time from Savvy Blogging, BTW. And I will definitely be back. The fact that you wrote 'Y'all'' in your last paragraph sealed the deal to this girl from the South!

I look forward to your home organization binder google docs. I use google docs to make my bill paying list to go in my home binder, but I would love to see more tips on organizing my home organization binder (I am still getting started).
Fantastic goals–everyone who has a blog should do this!
adding to the nest files–see you in a mONTH!!!
I pretty much heart you.
Found you from #savvyblogging and look forward to reading your blog in the future! I too will be making the switch from Blogger to WordPress in the next month and I'm nervous about it. But, I think it will definitely be a great thing to do!
It is absolutely *stunning*, Myra. Congrats on a new year and a new site! And Joy, of course. You did great, girl!
