A Year In Review for The Mommies Reviews
Sometimes we will right a post and get busy and not get it posted when we write it. Which is what happened with “A Year In Review for The Mommies Review in 2016. Although, since I want to grow this year I thought I would share with you what happened on here last week.
As I am way off this year in everything from Sponsored Post to reviews. As well as places I have been able to visit on behalf of the blog. So today I want to let you know it is time to take a step back and breath and to thank God for everyone I have accomplished so far.
Then to hand everything over to GOD and ask him for his help and to let him know everything is in his hands as I know through him I can and will do great things. So as of today I am fully relying on God not only on the blog but also in my life.
Each year as I Blog I learn new things I wish I had done differently and one of those was I wish I had taken the time to do a “Year In Review” as it would show me how I have grown over the years.
Although when I started I hadn’t heard about putting together years in reviews. Although it isn’t to late to start even though it is 9 years later. So today I would like to let you know this is my Year In Review for The Mommies Reviews 2016. I can’t wait to see how 2017 measures up to 2016.
As I will be praying it grows by leaps and bounds and that I am able to make as much as last year or a little more. Although if I don’t I know it will be “GODS” will. So this is where I will be “FULLY RELYING ON GOD”!!

Income for the year in Cash for Sponsored Jobs $2,775.81
I wasn’t as diligent as I should have been about Sponsored Jobs so that is what I had in PayPal and from checks this last month. Although I know I made more throughout the year. I just didn’t keep up with the checks the ways I should have. Although I plan on changing that this year. So just from guessing I am sure my income would have been closer tor 3500.00
Now for our OMG moments on the Blog:

Through TheMommiesReviews we hosted a Valentine Gift Guide and Christmas Gift Guide.
I added a new Homeschooling Category.
Then through TheMommivesReviews I was invited out to the following events: :

Now for those of you that didn’t know last year I chose the word “BELIEVE” for my word of the year. I must tell you there were many times I wanted to stop ‘BELIEVING” in Blogging and my family and to throw in the towel and quit. But
Although I didn’t I would Pray about it and “FULLY RELY ON GOD”!! Which kept me going in both my personal life and also my blogging life. Through my perseverance in the blog and the jobs I was able to secure I was even able to to purchase a TV for Charlie on my own as well as a X Box 360 for Charlie for Christmas through the Best Buy/ Wolf Bloggers program.
As Elle and I sat down this past week and went through the Blog all I can say is I was Blessed as my family believed in me along with my friends and the clients who chose to work with me. So today I would like to say not, only was I blessed as I didn’t think I could do it. Although now I do believe in myself and I know through my families supports I cna and will do this again.
This year I have chosen “SOAR” for my word of the year and in the back of my mind I still have “Believe and Blessed”. As I am blessed to be able to remain at home and do what I love as it blesses my family and allows us to SOAR and fulfill our dreams in so many ways.
If you do a “year in review post” Please come and share it with me as I would like to celebrate your accomplishments with you.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
