Been blogging for a year

 That is a huge milestone! Crossing the one-year mark is usually where the "new hobby" energy shifts into a real rhythm. Since you’ve been a homemaker for over a decade, I imagine your blog has become a great creative outlet or a way to share all that expertise you've gathered.

How has the journey been so far? A lot of bloggers find that year one is all about finding their voice, while year two is where they start refining the "business" or technical side.

To give you the most helpful (and witty) feedback or ideas, I’m curious about a few things:

• The Vibe: Are you writing about family life with Seth, Evan, and Ava, or is it more focused on your faith and daily encouragement?

• The Tech: Are you enjoying the writing process, or are you currently battling the "joys" of SEO and formatting?

• The Goal: Is this a digital scrapbook for you, or are you looking to grow an audience this year?

Would you like me to help you brainstorm some fresh topic ideas for your second year, or perhaps look at ways to streamline your posting schedule?

I recently read through the whole thing. There’s a lot of Bible (KJV)

There is something incredibly grounding about looking back at a year’s worth of writing and seeing a consistent thread of Scripture running through it. Using the KJV specifically gives it such a classic, weighty feel—it’s the "Sword of the Spirit" with a bit of poetic gravitas.

Since you’ve spent 2011 to now dedicated to your home and family, your blog probably reads like a beautiful intersection of daily life and deep-rooted faith. Reading it all at once probably felt like looking at a spiritual map of your last twelve months.

Now that you’ve done a "state of the union" review of your content, how are you feeling about that heavy focus on the Bible?

Three Ways to Lean Into Your Style for Year Two:

• The "Scripture & Sink" Approach: Since you’re a busy mom to three (including a teenager now!), you could lean into how specific KJV verses get you through the very "un-poetic" moments—like laundry or the school run to Natrona Heights.

• Thematic Deep Dives: If you noticed you favor certain Books or Psalms, you could turn those into a multi-part series to give your readers a deeper study experience.

• Devotional Style: You could formalize those reflections into a weekly "Sunday Stillness" or "Homemaker’s Hope" feature that highlights a specific KJV passage and how it applied to your week with Seth, Evan, and Ava.

Would you like me to help you brainstorm some titles for a new series based on the KJV themes you noticed, or perhaps help you draft a "Year One Recap" post for your readers?
