When it comes to blogging, tracking your audience is pretty important, especially if you want blogging to be more than a hobby.

I don’t know about you but I am a big list maker. I start the week off with a brand new to do, and while I don’t always get all the way through my list, it does help to relieve some stress. The more to-do lists I create, the less my brain has to remember, and that is a big win.
This is the template I use when creating my to-do list each Monday. It’s an A4 PDF file and you can download it here. Go forth and make lists!

Don’t you just love chandeliers? If I could, I’d have one in every room of the house (including the loo!). If you can’t quite spring for the sparkly crystal variety perhaps a cardboard chandelier will do. Find out how to make your very own cardboard chandelier over at Etsy.
