January has come  and gone in a blink of an eye. It has been a hectic start to the new year with 3 new school schedules to juggle and the new plans that I have for this year.

Achievements for January

 

  1. Dominique’s Desk Fan Page is slowly edging up to the 10k Fan Mark with the current number at 9700.
  2. Alexa ranking is down further and I hope that it remains the same or reduces further. Last glance it was 73,027
  3. holistic
    I’ve started up a new series on the blog called Holisting Learning with Dominique. It will be a year long series whereby I share what I have done with the 3 kids to give them an all rounded education.
  4. I’ve completed 4 book reviews, 6 giveaways and 2 product reviews on top of the normal daily posting on the blog. I still have quite a few book reviews to be completed but will finish them up months to come.
  5. Expanded my online portfolio by taking on  clients for website creation and am currently developing a website for a local baking shop.
  6. The kids are settling down well to their new school routine and are loving being in school.
  7. I managed to  bake bread and try out a new soup recipe. Will try out more recipes next month.

Major Fail area

  1. Weight has remained at 64-65kg. I have tried adjusting the portion size of my food and cutting out all the unwanted calories from junk foods. I need to step up on the exercise routine
  2. The year end  2012 photobook has yet to be done.
  3. I have yet to read the stack of DSLR camera magazines which I bought back in 2012.
