2012 Blog Schedule

As I always do this time of year, I'm enjoying planning and creating a schedule for 2012. Here's a look at the schedule I've created for monthly blog posts at Daily Life - Bits & Pieces.

*1st - Month in Numbers (I'm planning to create my monthly overview layouts using a new format this year!)

*10th - Ten on the Tenth (I like how Shimelle's Ten Things provides an opportunity to share on an infinite variety of topics.)

*12th - Twelve Photos (Something new for 2012, inspired by the prompts in the Twelve workshop.)

*20th - Pass the Book:Year Two (I will continue to pass a book through July. I'll provide a short book review and hopefully a sample of how the book inspired me each month.)

*25th - Pass the Book:Year Two recipient (Be sure to check back if you've added your name to the draw!)

*last day of month - Healthy Living Review (A little update on how I'm doing with my weight loss & healthy living goals . . . and my rewards!)

*first Sunday of month - Storytelling Sunday 2 (My plan is to share a story and layout each month as I strive to get more of our family stories recorded.)

*once a month - Book Reviews (My thoughts/opinions on the books I've read.)

The schedule I've shared here is just the foundation for this year of blogging. Of course there will be many other posts showcasing all the layouts I'm planning to create and keeping y'all updated on what we're up to here in Texas (like the fact that we've started a remodeling project on our laundry room and are doing all the work ourselves).

Have you planned a schedule for your blog this year or will you simply figure it out as the year goes along?

  1. I like that you have a system! I don't plan out this much in advance for each month, but I do try to plan 2 or 3 months out. If I have specific posts I'm already thinking of for certain times of the year, I pencil those in so I don't forget about them.

  2. Very organised Melissa. I'm still just winging it though with structure imposed by 10 on the 10th, the CKCB and Sunday Stories (except I missed the first one - boo hoo)

  4. taking on my scout role has prompted me to print out a calendar and get my blog binder organised again... it's a work in progress, but at least it's progress!

  5. I have a rough idea of how I'd like things to progress over at our place, but, I always reserve the right to change my mind!

  10. Love how organized you are! I kind of fly by the seat of my pants except for my regular activities on my blog. Although I will be re-organizing my blog this year to make it easier to navigate as I'm into soooo many things. Probably more than I should be but I think I've come to realize I'm not happy unless I'm down to the wire with everything. LOL
    Great post Melissa!!

  11. Very organised Melissa, I'm trying really hard to sort out my week in general at the moment so that I have time to blog/scrap/read blogs etc... I hope I end up as oragnised as you :)
