This is my first post of 2017 so I would like to begin by wishing you all a Happy new Year.
Now it’s that time again that we are all making resolutions and setting goals for the year. I have been thinking about what my goals would be for 2017 in relation to the blog. My goodness there is so much I could write in this post but whether I would be able to achieve everything would be questionable due to time constraints. Instead of writing a long winded post I though the best things to do was sum up my main goals for the year to give me something achievable to work too as I of course need to also allow for time with my lovely little family, friends, cooking, unforeseen circumstances, school shows, sleeping – I stayed up until all hours to complete blog posts in 2016 so need to learn to turn off the computer, and other things that may arise in my daily life.
One of my aims is to increase my daily views of the blog by bringing you all great content on a variety of subjects including recipes, fashion (adult’s and children’s), restaurant reviews, toy reviews, health and beauty posts and more. I also hope to add some more great competitions as we all love these.
I would also love to increase the range of companies that I work with to bring you news about great new products (new to my blog at least).
I am also hoping to include guest posts from other bloggers as well as write guest posts myself where appropriate and haven’t really done anything like this so I’m not sure how it will work just yet.
I am looking forward to eating my way around more London Restaurants and tell you all about them or at least the good ones anyway.
I have been working on my photography but still want to improve this further.
I want to try and do video reviews on a more regular basis.
With these in mind and an inbox filling up with some interesting collaboration requests it’s set to be a fun and busy year.
Have you set yourself goals for 2017?

I’m setting myself some goals and it feels good!! Positive energy!!
These are great goals, I’m sure you will achieve them all and feel better if you can get more sleep 🙂 x
I need to try harder already with the getting more sleep, opsy 😉
I’m loving your goals for the year. I have set a goal of having a better work/life balance and not working quite so hard.
That’s one we should all follow. Good luck Sarah x
Fantastic goals, wishing you all the best in achieving them! Hope to see a post in December saying how you did 🙂
Thanks Jazmin, I need to make sure I don’t get too carried away with all the work again. Have a lovely 2017 x
Great goals. I want to up my photography game on my blog and just generally grow my social and views x
Good luck with achieving your goals – I plan on visiting more restaurants too this year x
Fab goals. My goals for my blog are to get more readers who stay. and improve my photo skills too
I try not to set too many goals as we all have more than enough pressures in life. I just try to be the very best I can be x
I’m planning on going to more restaurants and writing reviews of them this year too! There are so many different cuisines out there, I need to branch out to more independent places!
I thought about setting goals but I know I will change or ditch them so I am just going to live my dreams and have fun and see we’re that takes me. Hopefully lots of fun and laughter with family and people that matter.
Some brilliant blogging goals for 2017, good luck with them all. I have a few goals for upcoming year
Some great (and realistic) goals, we want to include more video posts in our blog too this year x All the best for 2017 x
I’m late but I’m literally just about to write about my blogging goals for the year to go up tomorrow! One of my goals is to learn more about SEO and Google Analytics LOL.
Emmie xo
I need to do that too Emmie, I have so much to learn that could help boost the blog. I hope you manage to meet your goals x
Happy new year! Good luck with your 2017 goals.
Thanks Jemma, Happy New Year.
I think you have set some really good goals and I am wishing you lots of luck with them.
Thanks so much Stephen, fingers crossed.
I am loving the sound of your goals, you will fly through them no problem!
I think guest bloggers is a super idea, It is good to mix it up a bit.
I am looking forward to reading your London Restaurant reviews, my partner and I are travelling to London (For the first time) In the summer and we can’t wait!
Thanks Lindsey. I just need to get myself out there and talk to some other bloggers now. Keep an eye out on my post as I hope to add some more great restaurants soon x
Happy new year! I think all of your goals are attainable ones and I am sure you will make them all come to fruition. x
Thanks, I hope so. I didn’t want to get overly excited with them as I hate not achieving what I set out to do.
These are great goals! I need to work on my photography! Still using my phone but might invest in a good camera
Best of luck with the blog in 2017
Happy new year to you to good luck with your blogging goals all the best with it
Thanks so much Harline. I hope you have a lovely 2017 😉
Enjoyed reading this & felt like i got to know the direction of the blog more 🙂 good luck this year!
New year is all about setting goals and achieving them I hope you succeed.
Sounds like you’ve got a busy time ahead. make sure you take some time out too xx
That’s that hard part but I will try 😉
Blimey you must work really hard with your blog, it must be so time consuming. Keep at it though and I am sure you will reach your goals this year 🙂
Thanks so much Carly I hope so. Have a lovely 2017 😉
I’m not so much a goal setter (blog writer) as a goal poacher (reader of blogs);) I’m really looking forward to reading all the great reviews of my favourite…most trusted bloggers this year – of which you are certainly one – and it looks like you’ve got some nice posts lined up already. Have a great 2017 and remember to put some quality time aside just for pure enjoyment! x
Great blogging goals for 2017! Good luck!
Great goals start as you mean to go on
Youll manage these im sure
Your hard work certainly shows in your blog, love reading it
It all sounds great and I look forward to reading these on your blog.
Lots of resolutions! Good luck in 2017 and keep up the good work
I think when you write down your goals, it gives them more weight some how, and you feel more focused. Good luck, I hope you achieve all you set out to. Ridiculously, my resolution was supposed to be less procrastinating…..but…..
Lol oh dear well I hope you achieve all you set out too. Thanks for that I plan to work through these and more if I can.
Love reading your blog here’s to 2017 hope you reach your goals
Thanks so much, fingers crossed.
So inspirational to read about your plans and goals. 🙂
Thanks Maggie. Let’s hope I achieve them.
