You might have noticed some changes to my side bar, and you
might even remember that I have promised some changes to my blog. I am going to
try and commit to at least three days a week, each with a theme. Mondays will
be story day. Sometimes my posts will be on Norse mythology, Norwegian culture,
fairytales or just gibberish, whatever strikes my fancy. Wednesdays are Eye
Spy...Something or someone out there is worth spying on so I will let you know
each Wednesday what or who that is. Fridays are all about food and family, so
back from popular demand; I will let you into my kitchen and answer my
childrens favorite question, "What's for dinner Mom?" Don't let this
question fool you, my family has a huge appetite and often there is much more
on the table than food. Minnie will still be playing gibberish on the last
Friday of every month, with her finished story on the following Monday. Now
like I said, I am going to give this a try and see how it goes. Maybe having
more structure in my blogging will allow me more time to work on my book.
A couple of months ago my blog had its one year anniversary
and to celebrate I had a blogfest. The prize I was giving away if I had reached my goal was a troll
and some Norwegian chocolate. The troll is still here, but I ate the chocolate.
Maybe someday I will try another blogfest, but the few times I have tried have
not been very successful. It isn’t much fun to throw a party when hardly anyone
bothers to come. Oh well, more chocolate for me.
Today I am turning my spying eye to Hart Johnson who has
been writing in her bathtub again to bring us her first ever “Cozy Mystery”
book which is being released on June 5th. The name of her book is The Azalea Attack, and she is celebrating together with her friend
and mentor Elizabeth Spann Craig. Elisabeth is also releasing on the same day,
her first book in a new series called, Quilt
or Innocence ... Both books are “Cozy Mysteries”... Check out their CrazyCozy Blogfest and join the fun!
If you know of anyone or something worth spying on, let me
know so I can put on my spy gear and sneak around. I do so love being a sneaky
spy. So what do you think about my new blogging schedule and themes? Do you
think it will help me to focus more on my book? Do you like to sneak around
too? It drives my husband crazy but keeps him on his toes.

I like the sound of your schedule, Siv :) I've also resolved to stick to a blogging schedule, but I only blog on Fridays. My writing time has benefitted from this; fingers crossed you get more time for writing too :)
Your themes sound great! I love that you are giving other bloggers some exposure. :-D
I also changed the way I blog in order to focus more on my writing. But instead of themes, I decided to write all my posts and schedule them ahead. :-)
I didn't know about your blogfest Siv! Why was that? And I'd love a troll :-( You know I adore your fairy-tales and Norse myth posts, so keep 'em going. And yes, I had noticed the different blog design (ahem, I quite liked the blue one - please don't ban me from your site!!!!)
Ha ha Susan, I wasn't talking about the design (I did that one for the challenge) I still have not found a design that suits me---yet----Still looking :)Saving the troll so you might someday get a chance to meet her ;)
WooHoo! That was fun! Trying out a new template for awhile...Like this one?
Oh, I feel so HONORED to be featured for your first Eye-Spy! Thank you so much! It's true--blog fests are far more fun when lots of people are involved, so I truly appreciate the help here! And your new schedule sounds great!
Hi there! Thank you for dropping in my blog. I tried to put in the Challenge button code but somehow it won't work on my blog.
I'll be back.
Having a theme is a good idea - once I've got my head straight I was thinking of finding one!
I like the themes!
Very excited for Hart and looking forward to hosting her during the blog tour.
You know Siv, I've tried to stick to a schedule for posting but gosh, then life happens and I end up feeling guilty so I strive to write 3-4 posts per week and when it gets done, it gets done...good luck wih yours!
As usual you are a busy busy woman! You make me tired just thinking of all this stuff!
I love your new themes. I do a Someone You Should Know on Fridays when I can. I love sharing cool people and sites. Can't wait to check out the new cozy mysteries. I love that genre. :)
