Happy New Year 2023
A NEW YEAR, A NEW MONTH, A NEW ULTIMATE BLOG CHALLENGE and a HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023!!
Wait, where did 2022 go? It seems like I just took this picture of Lia and here it is a year later! So now we are wishing everyone a Happy New Year for 2023! But do you know what else has arrived? The Ultimate Blog Challenge is back for the first quarter of 2023 and this is the start of my 8th consecutive year where I’ve completed all 28 challenges, this being my 29th!
Lia has been writing on A Day In Lia’s Shoes a a few years now and sharing her Friday Story Time by Lia. Since she’s in school now, her blogging time is a bit limited but stay tuned for her stories! I’d like to thank our gracious host, Paul Taubman for putting this awesome challenge together. If you haven’t meet Paul, check out his Digital Maestro blog!
I’d also like to welcome back the members who are returning to this challenge and welcome all the newcomers! This challenge is a great way to meet new bloggers and also increase your stats. Bloggers exchange comments, shares and likes and you can tell from your stats that they increase over challenge months.
The UBC is when bloggers take the challenge to write a blog each day of the months of January, April, July, and October. If you write a blog each day you have completed the challenge and have the honor to display a ribbon to your blog! Some times it’s a challenge in it’s self to come up with a daily topic but our host has taken care of that. Paul sends out a daily email with a suggested topic that you can use if you can’t come up with on of your own. This has come in quite helpful at times when I’m having blogger brain fade!
I have a few new ideas as to my blog topics which I will tell you about in tomorrow’s blog. I’ll give you a hint, there will be a week of food involved!
Since the January Ultimate Blog Challenge starts on New Year’s Day, Lia and I want to take this time to wish all my new and old friends a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2023 New Year! This is our community bulletin board that Lia decorates for the different seasons. She just finished her New Year one yesterday! As it’s said in the blogger world, join this challenge and blog on!
Happy New Year!
Happy new challenge!
So good to see you back and healthy, happy, and to hear about Lia again.
I look forward to seeing if I can keep up with this new challenge.
Blessings,
Laurie

Happy New Year Elisa! Yes Lia is growing so fast and she loves school! We have many adventures to share, stay tuned!
Happy New Year! I have attempted to do this blog challenge several times, but have yet to finish it fully. I am hoping that this time I’ll finish it through till the end. It is a great way to get back in the habit of writing more. When I did write regularly my blog does do well.

Just take one day at a time Crystal, you can do it! You don’t have to write a super long blog, if you have brain fade, sometimes posting a photo story is a good idea!
