Reflections #AtoZChallenge2025

  



Our team theme this year was our blogging community, gratitude, or being grateful for our blogging community.

April is over. How did your blogging journey go? Now is the time to start reflecting on what you’ve accomplished this month.

Reflections sign up: https://forms.gle/YHYF1Byz4XJd384h6

The Reflections post isn’t mandatory and it’s an additional blog hop you can sign up for. This is where you tell others what you thought of the blog hop and how you experienced it. I’ll add some questions for you to think of below. Remember to grab the winners’ badge and display it proudly on your site if you completed the 26 letters.



In my Reflections post, I usually have a list with links of all my posts for the month so people can easily access it. I also have a list (with links) to my top commenters and my favourite A-Z blogs. Then I’ll talk about my likes and dislikes, how I approached the challenge (writing posts, visiting other blogs, etc.) and my verdict of the year’s challenge.

As you see, the Reflections post is all about your experiences and what you gained from them.

Some other questions to spark your creativity:

  • Did you finish the challenge?
  • What was your favourite post to write?
  • What was your favourite comment posted by another A-Z participant on your blog this April?
  • Did you follow the A-Z team on social media? (Who and where?)
  • Did you follow the A-Z Challenge on social media? (Which platforms?)
  • Did you feel supported by the A-Z team? (The Team: Arlee Bird, J Lenni Dorner, Zalka Csenge Virág, John Holton, Jayden R Vincente, and Ronel Janse van Vuuren.)
  • Did you like the graphics for this year?
  • Did you like the A-Z blog’s theme?
  • Did you encourage other bloggers to take part in the challenge this year?
  • Did you have a theme on your blog? If so, how did you come up with it?
  • Did you learn anything new because of the A-Z Challenge?
  • Will you consider doing the challenge again next year?

Remember to drop the direct link to your post in the sign-up sheet for the Reflections blog hop – and check out what others thought about this year’s challenge.

Z is for Zoom #AtoZChallenge2025

#AtoZChallenge 2025


Z is for Zoom!

(And I don't mean the video software!) 

Where in the world did April go? Zoom! It went so fast!

Pretty soon, we'll be reflecting on this crazy experience (May 2nd) and then taking a Road Trip through A to Z Blogs (May 10th). It's always hard to pick a Z word. Some might say it's a difficult letter to figure out, but I think there are too many good words!

Zoom
Zip
Zap
Zen
Zero
Zillion
Zesty

What is your favorite Z word?

Yeomanly #AtoZChallenge 2025

#AtoZChallenge 2025 letter Y #AtoZChallenge 2025


Yeomanly - Characterized by hard work and dedication, especially when supporting others.

Did you do what it takes to complete the challenge? Create 26 blog posts inspired by the English alphabet in April? Supported the blogs of fellow participants with positive comments? Have you been working hard and dedicating yourself to winning the challenge? Were you diligent, even when the challenge was difficult? 

Thank you for being here. Hopefully, this blog hop has sparked joy! 

As the #AtoZChallenge 2025 nears its conclusion, here are some questions to inspire your Reflections post. (Reflections is an optional third blog hop in which we take time to look back on the #AtoZChallenge 2025 to gain perspective so that we can learn from our experience and, hopefully, feel grateful that we took part.)
  • Has the #AtoZChallenge 2025 helped you to feel like a successful blogger? 
  • Did you support other #AtoZChallenge 2025 bloggers?
  • Is the #AtoZChallenge neighborhood blogging community good for your mental health?
  • How could the team make this blog hop better for next year?
  • What would entice you to visit and comment on the A to Z site every month?
