I didn’t manage to do a monthly review in April, life just ran away with me. With moving house, both of my children having the chicken pox and family birthdays it’s all been rather busy here. Although most of it in a good way, chicken pox withstanding. So here is a little update on what has been going on on the blog this last couple of months.

Things To Focus on in June
I’m actually going on holiday in June, so I think what I really aim to achieve is to keep content ticking over on the blog and scheduled during the whole period I am away as my main goal.
Here are my goals for this month.
- Keep the blog running while I am holiday and schedule content to cover my absence.
- Organise guest posts to help with the above.
- Grow my social media stats with at least 250 on Instagram and Twitter.
- Have a lovely holiday!
