I wanted to thank everyone for taking the survey earlier this month.  You all were so encouraging.  I really feel like my “audience” is an exceptionally kind bunch.  With over 500 responses, it was rewarding to hear many of you use words like authentic and genuine when you think of my blog.  I hope I can continue that here in 2018.  I feel like I came in hot with this survey, and life has been just regular life, nothing too busy, but sometimes it’s been hard to throw up a post.  With my kids’ ages, I do get more free time than before, but at the same time I am usually doing a lot behind the scenes for the family.  And a lot of times I get distracted, I sometimes write a whole post, and don’t feel like what I’m really trying to convey is being put properly, and scratch it and go onto the next.  I am trying to follow through on that this year.  Annnnyway, I am hoping to be more consistent in February!  Most people wanted to see more (in this order)- everyday life, home decor, and my personal style.  I had a ton of suggestions – a finance post, recipes came up a dozen times, quite a few wanted to hear more about my health post open heart surgery (it’s been ten years), more life with kids posts, activities, florida life, marriage posts, tips on balancing what I do, disney, wellness, devotional reviews, a day in the life (mentioned many times) … to name a few!  You guys gave me so many ideas!  Anyway, thank y’all so so much!  More to come in February (:
