December Goals

December Goals // Life with Rosie

HELLO DECEMBER! I’ve been waiting for you all year. Please take your sweet time in passing; I can’t get enough of your holiday cheer!

I can’t believe I’ve been doing these goals posts since February! Since writing them down and specifically laying out what I want to achieve both personally and blog wise- I’ve been able to accomplish way more than ever before! Writing these posts help me have something concrete to refer to and it helps me hold myself accountable because I’m publishing them for the rest of the world to see!

November Goal Report:

Blog/Maintain page views-In October, I hit 14K page views and I was really nervous I wouldn’t be able to maintain them in November! However, I worked my tail off and was able to come in just under 16K page views! Thank you so much to everyone who supports LWR by visiting daily and reading whatever thoughts I share on here! You are helping my dreams come true!
Blog/Instagram Plan-create a plan and follow through with it for the month; track progress. In the last 30 days, I gained 850 followers completely organically. I didn’t participate in ANY Instagram follow threads this month, although I did participate in an awesome loop giveaway (does that count as organic? Maybe not?). However, I really focused in on my aesthetic, my captions and my overall message and have seen an amazing response in engagement and feel like I finally have figured out how to present myself there.
Blog/Share the Wealth-This month I came out with a post about being a Blog Boss and shared my social media checklist strategy to anyone who wanted to download it! I hope it helped those got their hands on it!
Personal/Schedule-Be better about scheduling my day! Dustin and I worked on organizing our office the second he passed his test and I’ve been working from there ever since. I’ve been way more productive!
Personal/-be intentional about purchases-Well, Black Friday Happened AND the Sephora VIB sale happened all in the same month, so there was no intentional purchasing made…and I know I should feel bad about it, but I got some killer deals so I’m not sorry!

December Goals

Blog/Instagram-Continue to follow my new Instagram strategy and shoot for 3K followers! Simple enough; I’m hoping that it will continue to work!

Blog/Pinterest- I was doing really great with my Pinterest game in October, lost it for a while and am just getting back to it. I want to really focus on stepping it up this month and see some more referrals from Pinterest!

Blog/Branding-I know I just redesigned a couple months ago, but I’m still not entirely in love with the feel of my brand. I’ve reached out to a few friends and hope that together we can finally nail down the vision I have in my head for my brand!

Personal/Christmas Cookies-I just want to bake a ton of Christmas cookies! I tried some red velvet chocolate chip ones this weekend and they were fantastic. I would love to bring some recipes back to Life with Rosie; is this something anyone would find interesting?

Personal/Harry Potter-Dustin and I finally started reading Harry Potter again together and we’re half way through #2! I want to finish this one with him before the end of the year!

Once again, not as many goals as normal, but I plan on thoroughly enjoying this month of December and really thinking about the new year and what dreams, goals and plans I have for this little space of mine!

What are your goals for the rest of the year? How do you feel about the idea of some recipes being featured back on LWR? Let me know!
