I did it! I survived the Blogging from A to Z Challenge - and I wear my badge (on my blog) with pride! I honestly didn't think I would make it through to the end and there were times that I considered pulling the plug, however the teacher/mother in me said "Don't Give Up" "You CAN DO THIS!" and I did. I'm not going to lie, it took a lot of hard work, determination and time to get these posts written, edited and published - plus sharing them on social media, on top of my regular blogging schedule. Phew. I often stayed up until midnight (sometimes later) finishing posts or getting a head start on some of the more detailed posts. On top of all of this, I had to find time to comment on other blogs, something I wish I could have done more of, but towards the end of the month - I just wanted to make sure I got my posts published on time. Next time, I will choose 5 blogs to follow and stick with them through to the end, creating a mini blogging community - with saying that, I would probably choose blogs which have a similar niche to mine.
On a positive note, I thoroughly enjoyed sharing extra tidbits of my life, home and family with you all! My posts got a lot more exposure from around the world and I welcome each and every one of you to Teacher by trade - Mother by nature. Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment! It put a smile on my face :).
Massive Congratulations to those who completed (and survived) the challenge! I do hope you have a had a little break from your blogs! I will be having one soon! To all the Co-Hosts of Blogging from A to Z Challenge - THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! You're commitment and dedication to this challenge is outstanding! I was honoured to have several of you comment on my blog, THANK YOU very much.
