End of the July Challenge
Did you hear the news? The end of the July challenge is today! For me it seemed to start out slow and even had me wondering if I would have time every day to write a blog. But then I quickly told myself to get that thought out of my mind because I KNEW I would complete the challenge! Once I set my mind to something, I follow it through unless life or death gets in the way.
Checking my stats I have over 1200 more views than I did in the April Ultimate Challenge and almost 1300 more than last month’s non challenge month. I am pleased with my stats but as always this wouldn’t have been accomplished if it wasn’t for all my guests and bloggers that view, comment, share and comment every day on my blogs. Thank you all!
My blogs for the month were a variety of my story telling, healthy eating update, gardening, lots of delicious recipes and meals and of course posts about Lia the Baby Blogger.
It comes as no surprise that the blog with the most views was Lia’s Many Talents! http://themarthareview.com/lias-many-talents/
Coming in 2nd was about me being married seven times! If you missed this one, it’s quite exciting! http://themarthareview.com/married-seven-times/
The blog I wrote with the third highest views was about the beautiful sunrise I took photos of. This was an awesome morning of doing something we hadn’t done in way too long. http://themarthareview.com/i-must-confess/
So as the July Ultimate Blog Challenge comes to an end, once again I want to give a drum roll and a big round of applause to Paul T, the host of this awesome challenge! Without Paul I wouldn’t be so excited to get my daily email with the suggested topic and have the drive to write a daily blog. Thank you Paul for all you do! I have completed every challenge since I started in January 2016 and looking forward to the next challenge in October!
I will hopefully be keeping in touch with the 7-time wedding girl- and all to the same love of your life. Now if others today would follow your way, maybe we can put the divorce lawyers out of business! LOL! I admire your love and hope after the next 5 years I read another update and read about time 8!
Thanks Pamela, I always say Rich and I are on a forever honeymoon! three more years for wedding number 8! I have been enjoying you dogging blogs too!
Martha! This is impressive and inspiring! I didn’t finish the Challenge this month (too much Life getting in the way!) but will see you back in October for sure! I’m going to build up my Blogging habit until then! ROAR!!! Now, I’m off to read about your 7 marriages! 😉
Everyone who took part of the challenge are winners Jyll! I think I was born for a challenge, I love them! I’ll see you back in October and you will complete the month! (See I’m a positive person. LOL) ROAR on!

Congratulations, Martha!!! It was another great month of posts. I am always so happy to have you as a blogging companion during the challenges. These days, I rarely manage 30 or 31 posts, but am always happy just to participate. Looking forward to the next challenge and to all your posts in between.
You are still a winner Jeanine! I enjoyed your blogs on yoga even though I did them in the evening! I too enjoy your blogging companionship and we’ll keep it going until we go full force in the October challenge! Until then blog on!
