My blogging goals over the next year PLUS a GIVEAWAY!

We are celebrating our Blogiversary here at The Juneau Home! 

Today, I am sharing my blogging goals for the next year and am concluding our Blogiversary with a giveaway!

Honesty, I can't quite believe it's been a whole year. I am so thankful for the blogging community. I have met so many wonderful bloggers and the support I have received is just incredible. After this last year, I can say that blogging takes a village and I am so glad to have found my tribe!

My blogging goals for the next year:

1. Write consistently. At least twice a week. This has been the part I have struggled with the most. When life gets busy or something else comes up, my writing and blog posts fall by the wayside. The way, waaaay side. My goal is to find and make the time to write regardless of what else may come up. I have so many great blog post ideas in my head, now I just need to transfigure them from my head to the blog!

2. I want to do more home and DIY/tutorial posts. Waaaaay back when I started The Juneau Home, the posts were centered on our new home that we had just purchased. I want to get back to our ‘blogging roots’ and share our decorated home, as well as, recipes, DIY’s and our fun, family projects.

3. I would LOVE to splurge on branding and a complete overhaul on website design. I already have all my ideas pinned (and decided upon!), now I just need the money to put towards the beautification of our online home!

4. I would really love to attend a blogging conference in the next year! If by next August, I haven't physically attended one, I would love to at least be signed up to attend one.

AND now……..drumroll……….It’s GIVEAWAY time!!! We are celebrating our blogiversary and our first year in our home (and being new homeowners!) with a contest!

There will be 3 winners! 1 winner will win a $25 gift card to Canadian Tire AND one farmyard tales MINI book (winners choice of current in-stock selections). 2 winners will win one farmyard tales MINI book (winners choice of current in-stock selections).
