Welcome to Blogtober!

We have decided to do blogtober this year!

What is Blogtober?

Blogtober is a challenge to post every day in the month of October. You can post about anything you want.

Why are we doing Blogtober?

We have been on the fence about this for a while. We finally decided why not? We made an attempt at blogmas last year and had great results. It really pushed us to come up with additional posts. It sounds funny but I find that I actually write better when I do it every day. It’s when I completely take a break from writing for too long that I struggle the most coming back to it. These challenges help so much with pushing me to not fall into a writer’s block funk for too long.

What can you expect to read?

We will be writing more of our usual content and adding on additional fall/Halloween content. We have quite a few places that we have been to recently that I have not written the posts for so all of those will likely be included. We will be covering our fall farm day(s), Halloween shopping hauls, decorating, Halloween costumes, fall homeschooling crafts/projects, my (Crystal) birthday outing/gifts, and recipes. Also, I have a list of more general posts that I have been meaning to write but never seem to get around to. I might try to cover some of those too.

What is the goal going forward?

Our goal going forward is to continue posting 3-4 times a week in November and do blogmas again in December. October to December is my favorite time of year. All of my favorite holidays are lumped together. The weather is so nice. The only part I used to hate was that my kids went back to school but they’re homeschooling now. This is our last fall and holiday season in our home. I want to share our joy for this season with all of you.
