My Destination

Going Somewhere? My Destination 

 

So I’m in full gear with the July Ultimate Blog Challenge!  Well, maybe not in full gear since I writing my day three blog at 7:00 PM, but at least I’m getting it completed!  When my day is hectic, my brain is fading and I don’t have any blog ideas planned, who comes to the rescue but Paul, the host of Ultimate Blog Challenge with a daily email with a daily topic idea.  The suggested topic today is that people love to follow someone who is going somewhere!  So my destination today is going to be my blog topic.  Of course, Paul was talking about writing about the future and where you want to take your blog, not actually your daily destination.  So me, being someone who goes off the charts at times, wrote a blog in my mind while at the hospital with my hubby having pre-op tests.

 

We left the house at 6:00 AM to head to the hospital for an early morning pre-op appointment.  The morning went well, all the tests were completed for his upcoming third hip replacement.  Yes you read that right, this is his THIRD hip replacement!  This past March, he had his right hip replaced and now he is having his left hip that was replaced in 2007, replaced again. That’s cool, how many people can say they have three hips?   We are all set for the big day coming up in a few weeks.  Then he will be going in for lumbar back surgery where he will have rods and screws to correct disc problems caused from Rheumatoid Arthritis.  We headed home and what does hubby do but mow the lawn at over 100 degrees!!

 

As for my blog destination, I want to continue to write my witty blogs, my recipes, helpful tips and saving with coupons, just to name a few.   My blog is now 3 1/2 years old, starting it on Christmas Day 2014. I When I started my blog, it was mostly product reviews but that quickly changed when I added more categories.  I have since changed my blog heading picture but my motto is still the same – “If you want to explore deeper oceans, we first have to leave sight of the shore.”  I love this challenge because four times a year I set my mind on completing the challenge by writing a blog each day.  I have been able to complete every challenge since I joined on January 2016.

 

 

I have said this before but I really want to get into adding videos on my blogs, hopefully I can get a few done for the July challenge. My granddaughter was helping me “learn” how to video and this is my “blooper video” while she was showing me how to pause!   I would also like to see my blog grow by writing more money saving tips, more easy, delicious and inexpensive recipes plus adding more give-a-ways.   I’m happy with how my stats continue to grow and how I’m meeting so many new bloggers.  I find I can learn so much from other bloggers and their helpful and useful information.

So there you have it, my destination for today AND my destination for my blog!

I started my blog on Christmas Day 2014 mainly to review products I received. Since then it has evolved into many other categories of lifestyles, family, money saving ideas, low cost, delicious and healthy meals plus other surprise posts. My granddaughter has her own category, Alex's Articles and the latest addition to my blog is my great granddaughter now has her category, Lia's Likings The Baby Blogger! Lia started blogger at 8 months old and she now has a Friday Story Time blog you won't want to miss! I welcome you to join the conversation, ask a question, give a suggestion or leave a comment on any blog post. I hope you enjoy Lia's Likings, she has some great posts that will make you smile!

      Oh yes Dora, I do the same thing! I try to keep my eye on the prices when being rung up but somethings that’s hard to do. My hubby says no one wants to get behind me in line because of my coupons and I scrutinize every item. LOL We are looking forward for the 16th when hubby has his surgery. Thanks for the good thoughts and coffee!

      Rich is not one to waste time Richa. On his last hip replacement he was suppose to give it 65 days until driving! He was back at work in 3 days and driving with left foot breaking! Hope the left recuperation goes as well as the right. Thanks for visiting, have a wonderful day.
