I am co-hosting the LAST DAY of the Love Blog Challenge today. The prompt is “Love Blog.” I’m excited to share with you some thing’s I’ve loved about doing the Love Blog challenge this year as well as some of my favorite posts!

Well guys, it’s the last day of the Love Blog challenge! Usually this day is bittersweet for me, but I think this year it’s just bitter. Or at least it’s a lot more bitter than sweet unlike years past.

Usually by the end of February, I’m burnt out on blogging (and I don’t even post every day like Brita) and then I basically take a break for all of March. But not this year! This year, for whatever reason, I’m leaving February behind more inspired and on fire for my blog than ever!

The love blog challenge is a great opportunity for me as a blogger because having prompts seems get the juices flowing again after the holidays. I don’t know about you but without the Love Blog Challenge, I think February would be a difficult blogging month. December is all about the holidays and January is all about resolutions and bucket lists. Then February can just be pretty blah. School/work schedules are back to normal, it’s too cold to go on many adventures. It’s just nice to have some prompts to blog about.

Also, my hosting a lot of the challenge holds me more accountable. I have a hard time holding myself accountable to publish blog posts. Even if I am in a good creative place, I don’t always follow through with posts I want to publish.

#LoveBlog2019 also stretched me to think about some important concepts in a deep way. Prompts such as Forgiveness and Compromise made me stop and think about how I really feel about those topics and how I can help others see the good in them.

And lastly, it’s always fun to meet new people in the blogging world. Though I “knew” a lot of the people who linked up, I don’t typically read all of their blogs on a regular basis. Plus having new eyes on my own posts this month never hurt either!
