Ultimate Blog Challenge Time Again!
It’s the Ultimate Blog Challenge Time Again and I’m so excited to participate once again! Is it April already?? I started in this challenge on January 2016, the object is to write a blog each day for the months of January, April, July, and October. I’m happy to say I have completed each one! Besides increasing your stats, you can meet some wonderful bloggers during the challenge. I was checking my stats and since I started my blog on December 25, 2014 I have had 99,393 views as of this writing! Maybe I’ll break the 100,000 mark this month! I love how everyone has their own style, niche and the topics are so exciting to read. As previously, I enjoy reconnecting with the past members and welcome the new members that have just joined it. So welcome to the challenge, let’s get writing!
A little recap since January, I have SO much to write about this month! A few highlights….. on February 4th our SIXTH great grandbaby arrived, a beautiful little girl! Then on March 23rd hubby and I were blessed with our SEVENTH great grandbaby, an adorable little boy! I will be filling you in on both of them in a blog soon!
Some SUPER exciting news happened on March 12th……… I TURNED 70 YEARS OLD!! I will always be a kid at heart and doesn’t matter how old I get. With all the love and great care my hubby gives me plus our seven grandchildren AND seven great grandchildren, I’ll be forever young.
Another upcoming blog will be my 9 month update on my healthy eating plan, I’m still doing great on that and better yet, FEELING great!
Oh and those that have read my blog before, you have met our adorable 5th great grandbaby Princess Lia Faith. She is seven months old already! Well the news is out! Lia has a category on my blog, it’s called Lia’s Likings, The Baby Blogger and you won’t want to miss her adorable product review blogs plus other fun and entertaining blogs that will be sure to make you laugh! This is Lia’s introduction, make sure you check out the link to her first blog, First Cabbage Patch Kid that is posted in the introduction blog, it’s adorable.

I didn’t get as many blogs written in the months between the last challenge until now but I did manage to write a total of 15 blogs so that’s almost two per week. Not bad with everything else going on in my schedule.
Most know I am famous for re-purposing things and I hold on to just about everything, thinking some day I can use it! Check out how I made a kitchen utensil organizer out of a box and adhesive paper!

I’ll end today’s blog with the most adorable video of Princess Lia’s Baby Kisses when she saw herself in the mirror!

Let’s get our thinking caps on and have fun blogging since it’s the Ultimate Blog Challenge time again!
Here we go again!
I’m ready Roy! This challenge gets me back on blogging track.
Martha you are and will be young forever. Awesome post. Could connect to every word. All the merriment and abundance to you
Thanks Shrilekha! I love spreading happiness and joy, there is so much negavitity in the world. I think that’s what makes me write so many cheerful blogs, trying to spread the merriment. Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for my laughs!
Oh, I love that mirror picture of Lia!! And I am looking forward to your new baby updates. Nice to see you again.
Hi Jeanine, we made it to the start of another UBC, I’m so excited! There will be many baby updates and Lia will be posting a few more of her blogs. The mirror picture was one of my favorites. Did you click on Lia’s intro blog and see the video that goes with the picture? I thought that was soooo adorable! Looking forward to reading the blogs you write about for the challenge!
You look great in that picture! Oh and happy birthday! I am looking forward to your stories and adventures!!!
Thanks Alice, I think I’ll always be a kid at heart! Maybe that’s why I connect so well with little ones. LOL Glad to see you back in the challenge with your awesome photos!
Adorable! You are lucky to be blessed with so much material. What are your tips for getting through 30 days? I’ve only gotten to 18 so far, but I’m determined this time to make it through to the end.
Thanks Elisa, for me it’s not hard to come up with ideas. Between my healthy eating recipes, money saving ideas, lots of updates on my great grandbabies and just life in general I can usually come up with a blog. 18 is good, just keep thinking! One thing I do if I’m “stuck” for a topic is look through my photographs. Each photo tells a story so it’s easy to turn a picture into a blog. Another cool tip is to expand on someone’s comment that they left on your blog. It just may be a great comment to blog about! I also am a very determined person and love a challenge. I have a thing about not quit ting so I blog on! You can get to 30 this month!!
so looking forward to the challenge again; and to your posts; and the next Lia’s Likings post as well 🙂
I am too Vidya, I love participating in this challenge. You can be sure Lia will be posting soon!
