Someone’s Mum: A Year in Numbers

Someone's Mum is One Today

On the 6th of January, 2016, exactly one year ago, I published my first blog post. It was called ‘Loving Two’ and during its first month of publishing, it received a total of 251 views.

Of course, numbers mean nothing. The true value of what Someone’s Mum has given me cannot be measured. It has given me hope and peace of mind. It has connected me to people all over the world who have shared some part of my experience. It has helped me raise autism awareness and acceptance. It has given me time with my children. It has given me passion and enthusiasm for a new career. It has given me friends.

The impact these wonderful things have had on my quality of life is not shown in the numbers. Never the less, numbers are interesting – and I always love reading about other bloggers’ reports and statistics. I guess we are all naturally a bit nosy. So here are a few of the numbers I have hit in my first year of blogging. All numbers accurate at the time of writing and were mostly found through Google Analytics and social media analytics.

    1. Thank you Lisa! I doubt I will match the numbers in my second year but still pretty proud of how I have grown ☺

  1. I was so surprised to find you had only been blogging a year, well done. You’re stats are amazing and your open letter made me so angry at that man and sad for you and your boy. Carry on the good work.

  2. You should be proud of your accomplishments! Passion plus hard work are the key. I can’t wait to see what 2017 brings!

  3. Absolutely amazing stats and achievements in one year. Hope you have a see celebration tonight! You’re awareness and passion shines through, good luck for year 2!!
