										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have probably seen the bar across the top of my site and the occasional pop up inviting you to subscribe to my new newsletter. I have known for years that I should be doing a weekly newsletter but until recently, I didn&#8217;t have a clear vision of what that newsletter should include.<br />
<a href="http://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Subscribe-to-the-all-new-The-Mom-Maven-newsletter-compressed.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-49504" src="http://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Subscribe-to-the-all-new-The-Mom-Maven-newsletter-compressed-683x1024.jpg" alt="Subscribe to the all new The Mom Maven newsletter." width="683" height="1024" srcset="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Subscribe-to-the-all-new-The-Mom-Maven-newsletter-compressed-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Subscribe-to-the-all-new-The-Mom-Maven-newsletter-compressed-200x300.jpg 200w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Subscribe-to-the-all-new-The-Mom-Maven-newsletter-compressed-185x278.jpg 185w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Subscribe-to-the-all-new-The-Mom-Maven-newsletter-compressed.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></a></p>
<p>I can tell you that this newsletter is not the same as my RSS feed. If you subscribe to my feed via email or a feed reader you get every post I write delivered to you daily. You have also noticed that my feed has changed. Due to the fact that I partner with Amazon, I learned I could not send full posts with affiliate links in them via email. This is why the feed has changed to excerpts only and it is coming from a new service now as well. If you would like to receive every post I write in your email box <a href="http://eepurl.com/bdXnhf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><strong>please subscribe here</strong></a>. My newsletter will include my top post of the week and it will revisit a previous recipe post as well as include other information not found on my blog. My newsletter will be published weekly (day and time to be determined by the survey results. I&#8217;ll leave the survey open for the rest of February 2015.</p>
<p>If you would like to receive my new weekly email, beginning in March please fill out this form.<br />

We were out of town for the 1st and 2nd enjoying football, food, fun and family at my parent&#8217;s house. I thought we&#8217;d kick off the new bloggy year with some goals.</p>
<h2>2012 Blog Goals</h2>
<ul>
<li>Finish the re-design-I need to get my header fixed and I accidentally deleted some important badges from my sidebar that I need to reconstruct</li>
<li>Engage my readers-There are a lot of you out there, and for that I am very thankful. Unfortunately, very few of you respond or leave comments-unless I&#8217;m running a giveaway. Leaving meaningful comments on blog posts is how readers tip the author. When you interact with posts I write and topics I cover, I know you are interested too. I&#8217;d love to know what subjects in the realms of parenting, homeschooling, family entertainment and family travel you would like to know more about so please, leave a comment on this post letting me know.</li>
<li>Crack the 1000 subscriber mark. I know it isn&#8217;t all about numbers, but I have been hovering in the mid-900s for a very long time.</li>
<li>To complete the <a href="http://bloggymoms.com/" target="_blank"><strong>2012 Blog Dare</strong> </a>(I&#8217;m already behind-this is actually the post for January 1st!)</li>
<li>To attend <strong><a href="http://blissdomconference.com" target="_blank">Blissdom</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://reviewersretreat.com/" target="_blank">Reviewer&#8217;s Retreat</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://typeaconference.com/" target="_blank">Type-A Parent Conference</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.blogher.com/blogher-12" target="_blank">BlogHer12</a></strong>. If you or your company would like to sponsor me you can check out my <strong><a href="http://themommaven.com/sponsorship-opp/" target="_blank">Sponsor Opps</a></strong> page.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Social Media Goals for 2012</h2>
<p><strong>Twitter: </strong>To be more active. My Twitter usage declined the second half of 2011.</p>
<p><strong>Facebook</strong>: To get more conversations going on my <strong><a href="http://facebook.com/themommaven" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Google+</strong>: To learn the best way to use this tool and to set up a page for my blog.</p>
<p><strong>LinkedIn</strong>: To learn how to use this more effectively.</p>
<p><strong>Pinterest</strong>: To finally get my invitation so I can check this new hot spot out.</p>
<p>I am excited for another great year here in my corner of the blogosphere and I can&#8217;t wait to share it with you!<a href="http://BloggyMoms.com" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" alt="a mom blog community" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/L4uLIkPMs4YsqGqfduMxdIupnhVKjJ2ural2ujbCjeeRecblknxvMPtnN11Ge*mzJ7OePE3nHCxvmzPkCgyeN1cm0eAXwYk2/blogdaregroup2012.png?width=150"/></a></p>
