The Ultimate Blog Challenge Begins Again

4/1/2019

My 8-Second Video Welcome...

A big hello to my old friends and fellow UBC bloggers, back for another Ultimate Blog Challenge. Today is April Fool’s Day and maybe it’s foolish to aim for blogging every day for a month, but we do it and dare I say we love it?

If you are a blogger reading this and wondering what I am talking about, it’s not too late to join us. Today, a 30-day blogging challenge begins, called the Ultimate Blog Challenge.

Each day, we post a link to our blog posts in the group and comment on, tweet and share each other’s posts to support each other in our efforts to grow our blogs. The reward is two-fold: we meet and reconnect with other great bloggers and we get more traffic to our blogs.

Go to ultimateblogchallenge.com to learn more.

Welcome to My Lifestyle Blog, Meet Jeanine

If you are new to me or my blog, welcome, and it’s so nice to meet you.

I am a write-from-home lifestyle blogger, certified spiritual director and homeschool mom. I love sharing information designed to make mom life easier.

Hygge, slow living, growing your faith, morning routines, evening routines, meal planning, and other mom life topics are all things I love to write about here. If you’d like to browse through my lifestyle library, it’s free. Just click the link to learn more.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you and your blog this month, too. One of the things I love about the Ultimate Blog Challenge is that we help each other and not just ourselves.

I will be taking weekends off this month, so I won’t make it through the entire 30 days. But I’ll be here during the week.

What about You, UBC Blogger?

In a comment, I’d love to know what you love most about the UBC, or if you are new to it, what you’re looking forward to or hoping for this month.

See you tomorrow!

Love, Jeanine

Hi Jeannie. I'm brand new to the challenge, though I've been blogging for years. Looking forward to meeting everyone involved, and sharing the craziness that will no doubt result from trying to get 30 posts up in 30 days (I'm usually a once-a-week blogger)!

4/1/2019 01:31:56 pm

Hi, Karen! I'll be looking forward to your blog posts, too. And you're right, it can be a crazy process to go from regular posting to every single day. -Jeanine

That's great! I have lost count of how many times I have done it. I think the first time was somewhere near 10 years ago? Not sure.

Nice to meet you, Jeannie, though we may have met before. Right off the bat I was wondering what hygge was. I'm learning from you already!

4/1/2019 01:40:00 pm

Hi Bonnie! Thx. Hygge is a way of life that comes to us in America from the Danish. It's about creating warmth and coziness and simple pleasures. I think I will have a few more posts about it this month, but you can learn more immediately by getting access to my lifestyle library.

Nice to meet you, Jeanine. This is my third UBC, but first in years. There are still friends here whom I met in 2011 and 2013. I’m looking forward to getting to know you and others as we share this month together.
Blessings,

Hi Jeanine! I'm visiting from the UBC. I'm a homeschooler, too. I saw your post about daylight savings time. It's such a hassle for us here in our homeschool. It messes up our sleep for weeks and makes it dark all evening when we have free time. Maybe someday they'll stop observing it. I'll be visiting again!

4/1/2019 10:13:52 pm

So nice to meet another homeschooler, Kerry! I know what you mean about DST and its impact. We feel it for weeks, too!! Thanks - I will look forward to seeing you here.

Hi Jeanine! I've missed you, too! Hey, I just discovered something that we have in common! It's our enneagram tritype, except that mine is in a different order (7-4-9). My theme for the month is spring unfolding... and here, it is unfolding slowly, although it looks like all of that snow that arrive yesterday is now melted. I am looking forward to reading your stories whenever you post!

4/1/2019 10:16:29 pm

Alice, that's fantastic!! I don't know a whole lot of other people with that tritype. And I am often the one people refer to in some of the groups online, so I am glad to know we have that in common. So good to see you again! Looking forward to seeing your beautiful posts.

4/1/2019 11:00:50 pm

Thank you very much, Jeanine. I am excited and happy to share my posts with you!

4/1/2019 11:17:16 pm

You're welcome, Alice!! :)

Yes, they are, Martha! And having you along is part of what makes them fun, too.

It's good to see you back for another round of UBC! I admit, I was on the fence about it even until like 2 days ago. ImbmakingI some changes to my blog and I wasn't sure if the challenge fit into it now. But I like that I'm forced to think outside the box for content ideas, so it's at least helpful in that way.

4/1/2019 11:18:16 pm

That's how I was with the last one! I decided about 2 days before it started. Glad you're back with us. :)
