Thanks for including me in our round-up! I have quite a few goals, and really intend to hit them all! 🙂
Congratulations on the birthday of your son. It’s important to celebrate these important milestones. We had a stressful week too, and getting ready to begin another 🙂
Amen to that! The outlook for this week is looking just as busy as ever!
Happy belated birthday to your son! Looks like you’ve been getting some good exposure for your blog. For these regular weekly posts you might want to consider making each title somehow unique. Search engines prefer a site to not have duplicate titles. You could simply include the date at the end or a brief secondary title.
Thanks for the birthday wish and thanks for the tip! I had a hunch that naming these posts the same thing would probably backfire on me somehow. Looks like I’ll need to be just a little more creative.
