Milestone 100,000

How often to look at your "stats"?  
Do you really care where your blog traffic comes from?  
Or what people are interested in reading about on your blog?  

Today (as I try to do at least 1 time per week)  I checked the stats on the blog and we went over 100,000! Now that is a HUGE accomplishment, I think?   HOWEVER, after looking to see what posts got the most "action"...they weren't the homeschooling themed posts, they were the party and craft posts.  

Now I can look at this two ways...obviously I am happy and blessed that so many people stop by and read something that is on the blog, but I can't help but wonder, can I do something to increase the "numbers" on the homeschooling themed posts since this is the type of blog I have?
  I also "toy" with the idea of "should I have a party blog too?"  with tips and information and pictures of the party stuff - separated than the homeschooling one?  Can I add something else to my "plate"?



What do stats mean to you?  I would love your input on all this randomness I am throwing up at y'all...

I look at stats to see if anybody reads my silly blog. I found that most are family, which is cool with me. If I have a really low month, I make sure I send reminders out. What bugs me the most is that i get traffic, just no comments.

I understand where you are coming from. I just started a new blog myself to try and separate my education and teaching of my children issues from face book and I am too looking for ways to get support and traffic. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
