In August 2014 I was part of a group of bloggers who launched and carried out the first ever Blog Staycation! Today I am excited to announce the dates for the next Staycation!
April 28th through May 1st, 2016!
If you are ready to join you can sign up for Staycation updates HERE! If you want to learn a little more, then keep on reading.
The idea behind the Blog Staycation is to allow bloggers a set time frame to dedicate towards their blog to work on simple or large updates, connect with other bloggers, share blogging resources, and tackle their blogging to do lists. Since the first Staycation the number of bloggers who participate has more than doubled and bloggers around the world continue to use this time to grow their blogs.
Here is what bloggers are saying about the Blog Staycation:
“It’s always great to have some accountability on reaching goals you set for yourself and your blog. The Blog Staycation provided this for me; plus gave me a window into other blogger’s goals and methods. I always enjoy the opportunity to get together with other bloggers, to find new ones to read, new people to meet, and new ideas to explore.” Ann from Ann About Town
“Where can you talk about hot men, wine, and all things blogging? The Blog Staycation! Join a bunch of awesome bloggers sharing their wisdom, victories, and lots of laughs.” Kristen from Maniac Mom
“Dedicating time to the BlogStaycation is dedicating some time to your blog to make it better. Participating in it has helped me to better understand so many aspects of blogging, from networking, coding, SEO, and monetization, to learning what I should be focusing on for growth.” Sarah from Ruffles and Rain Boots
“I learned so much from the chats!” Candace from Candace Creates
Here is a little more information to help you understand how the Staycation works:
Who Can Join?
ANY blogger! It doesn’t matter where you live or what kind of blog you have!
When Is It?
Thursday April 28th through Sunday May 1st, 2016!
The Blog Staycation launches with a fast paced and fun Twitter party on Thursday April 28th at 6:30PST/8:30CST/9:30EST. Then the fun keeps coming all weekend long and here’s the great thing…you can do as much or as little as you want!
What Happens At The Staycation?
Make sure to sign up for our Staycation updates HERE, so that you can know the schedule of events! Besides our regular daily group Facebook chats, this time we have added in some amazing chats with specific blogging experts who will hold free online chats that are going to knock your socks off! We are keeping all of the details close for a bit, but you just wait when you get that first Staycation email from us you will be so excited!
So to make sure you don’t miss that email or anything during the Staycation, we will send out a daily email alerting you to all of the activities happening that day. You are welcome to join any of the chats on twitter (#BlogStaycation) or on Facebook.
You can also visit my other Staycation co-hosts blogs to get support and ideas for some of the things on your own to do list. We will let you know what we have cooking over on our blogs during the Staycation as well with our daily Staycation email updates.

Thanks for sharing and unfortunately that is at the end of my kids’ spring break week off. So most likely won’t be able to join this time out. But hope you enjoy and got lots done :)

Yay! I hope you can indeed break away from your little cutie and join us! I know you will have a great time!

Sound like a great weekend but the timing’s not good for me, I’m away those dates and switching off from all media! Maybe next time.

Hi Jen, I’m feeling a little more confident on social media this time round, so if the times are good will pop over and join in. It’s also our Easter weekend, so could be a good thing, time wise.
