Seriously, could I have come up with a worse title for this post? Don’t think so.
Anyway, this is my monthly recap in which I discuss the previous month’s posts and interactions with you guys. June was a bit of a let down. In March, April, and May I’d set records pretty much across the board for everything on here, but in June I didn’t set any. It was the first month of 2014 in which I did not improve on the previous month’s record of site views. Don’t go yelling at me that site views are not what blogging is about because I already know this. This month was just a little more work than usual is all I’m saying. Okay. Let’s see what I did. My monthly record will be in parenthesis next to what I did in June.

You see, no records were in any danger of being broken, but eh it happens that way sometimes. Maybe I need to come up with some better material? Or maybe I should just make this a food blog? Or maybe you guys need to open your eyes? Just kidding. A little.

It’s been a slow month for me as well. I think it has to do with the weather finally being nice! People are getting out more and doing things. 🙂 At least, that’s what I’ve been telling myself heehee

I like the idea of having a stats post every months. It helps you keep track of your progress and how you’re doing. I think I tried to do a post like that a couple of time, but never really got into it. Good to see it’s working for you and your stats are impressive. P.s. Love your blog!
