The First Ultimate Blog Challenge for 2022
It’s not only the first Ultimate Blog Challenge for 2022 but it’s also the FIRST DAY OF THE NEW YEAR!!! The Ultimate Blog Challenge is put together by our wonderful host, Paul T. four times a year and this month’s challenge is super exciting and special for me. I have participated AND completed each challenge since January 2016! If I complete (or should I say when) this challenge I will have 25, yes TWENTY FIVE consecutive Ultimate Blog Challenges under my belt! So this will be my Silver Anniversary blog challenge! I love a challenge but this month will be super challenging since we will be traveling to Indiana for a week. But you know me and challenges, I live for them and will do all I can to complete this challenge!
I like to start the challenge with a poem I wrote a few years ago, hopefully it will get you all on track for this awesome challenge!
I’m excited to reconnect with my “old” blogger friends in this challenge and always look forward to meeting new bloggers! I enjoy reading and commenting on the blogs and I like how everyone has their own niche or ideas! The challenge is to write a blog every day for the month of January. We visit, comment, share and like other blogs and they I turn do the same. This is a great way to get more traffic to your blog and watch your stats raise!
Lia is super excited to join in the challenge again with her Friday Story Time by Lia blogs and she already has some ideas in the works! For the newbies who may not have met Lia, she is my 3 year old great granddaughter who started blogging with me when she was about 8 months old! She is a ray of sunshine, full of love and compassion and always shares her smile to everyone she passes.
Stop by and visit her blog category to see all her exciting adventures! http://themarthareview.com/category/a-day-in-lias-shoes/
So let’s all start the Ultimate Blog Challenge off on a positive note and hope the New Year will be healthy and happy for all!
As we start the first Ultimate Blog Challeng for 2022 Lia and I want to wish all my blogger friends and viewers a very Happy and Healthy New Year!
I always enjoy reading your blogs. Here’s to 2022!
Thanks Amanda, yes here’s to 2022 and you being married is so exciting to hear!
Happy new year, Lia and Martha! Congrats on your “silver anniversary” – that’s a super impressive track record 🙂
I was once traveling during the A-Z blogging challenge, and at first I was worried. Then I ended up using my travel experience for the writing challenge: A is for Arrival, B is for baggage, C is for California, etc. So I am very confident you will come up with some relevant content! Happy to reconnect with (the two) of you!
Hope 2022 will treat you kindly 🙂

Happy New Year to you too Tamara and what a clever idea to incorporate blogging with traveling! You already gave me some great ideas!
Congrats on your Silver Anniversary blog challenge! I am looking forward to reading your posts as well as Lia’s.
Happy 2022! Love the glasses.
Thanks Paul, I HAVE to complete this one! LOL Lia has some exciting posts in the works and I’ll be winging mine as each day arrives!
I love that poem Martha. I think you have the record for doing the most in a row. I hope you all had a wonderful New Year. Many blessings to you and your family.
Thanks Brenda! We had a quiet but nice New Year, of course we were asleep long before it arrived! LOL Hugs and love to you for a wonderful year filled with positive vibes.
Happy New Year, Martha!! It is always so good to go on this blogging journey with you and Lia! I’m looking forward to your posts. And you guys both look adorable in those glasses. 🙂
I wouldn’t miss this one for sure! I’m been out of the loop on the other challenges but I HAVE to complete this one! My 2nd silver anniversary is a must Jeanine! Looking forward to your posts again also, let’s blog on together!
Happy New Year to You and Lia! Congrats on number 25 too! I look forward to reading your posts — and Lia’s!
Now, I have a question about those 2022 glasses — how many different colors do you have? LOL
Thank you Dominique! It’s exciting to be completing (I hope) 25 challenges in a row! As for the glasses, there are 4 colors in a pack, blue, red, green and purple. Alex and Lia volunteer to decorate our subdivision bulletin board and she found them at Walmert! Lia and I “borrowed” the ones we are wearing for the photo op before the board was finished!
Happy New Year, Martha and Lia! Nice to see you two back in the saddle.
OMG you gave me an idea with your comment Lily! I have the cutest picture of Lia on a hobby horse, she’s back in the saddle for sure! Happy New Year to you too and blog on!
Glad to read about you and all of your. Log challenges. And glad to see Lia again. 😊
Love that you wrote a poem! You are so creative!
Let’s keep this challenge going strong! I really have enjoyed connecting with other bloggers and look forward to connecting with you and others again!
Blessings!

Welcome back Laurie, I’m starting out on a positive note….keeping positive and moving forward in this challenge!
Martha, it’s great to see you back here, also! I ADORE the 2022 glasses. Would you mind if I copy the idea for the next New Year’s? You are so right that positivity is the way. That’s a major part of my commitment to my life and God this year. Looking forward to your January posts! And Lia’s!
Thanks Kebba, you are more than welcome to copy the idea or any other ideas that I post on my blogs! Sharing is caring and I love to help in any way I can! You and I seem to go hand in hand with your commitments and positive has always been the top of mine. Great to see you back in the challenge, hugs from Lia and me.
Happy New Year! Have a lovely 2022!
