Hi! I'm Lainie and I blog about my beautiful family (husband Scott, son Ian who I can't believe is starting kindergarten this fall and our 1 year old daughter Greenlee) and our must-haves including products, food, books and travel. My lil fashionista even has her own column, "What Will Greenlee Wear.". We live in New York City where we sacrifice space, but not style, to be in the center of it all. How do you find time to blog?

I believe them when they say this, because my group boards were all listed, even before I had ever heard of the site! Below is a screenshot from the site so ...

We all have blogging goals and even dreams of where we'd ideally like to see our blogs go. After Becky's post last week about how to reach one million page views in just one year of blogging (who wouldn't want to do that?!) I wanted to talk about blogging goals this week.
