Countdown to 2017 – Day 6 – Reader’s Favorites

Posted on by traci

I’ve decided to change my blog’s name.  It’s going to be a new year so I think I need to change up my blog somewhat.

Throughout the years, I’ve shared some stories and travel posts.  Ever since my sister’s death, I’ve shared stories and dealing with grief posts.  I’m thinking my blog needs to continue with those type of posts along with recipes.

I had two other blogs – View from My lens and Ramblings of My Crazy Life.  The view from my lens showcased some of my photos while ramblings of my crazy life was where I put more of the stories.  I’m going to stop writing on those blogs so that I can focus on this blog.

In the next few weeks, I’m going to share what we ate in Universal Studios, Florida (3 posts), photos of where we stayed while we visited Universal Studios (at least 2 posts maybe 3), and new recipes.  I’m also going to be continuing with the Writer’s Workshop.

Happy New Year!  Let’s make 2017 the best for this blog!

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 25,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 9 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
