Changes Are Afoot

I hope everyone's summer is full of fun, relaxation, and great books. (my sunflower, which I am happy to say, I grew from a wee seed)
I just wanted to check in and mention briefly that there are some assessments going on in my head about the blog and my own writing. I have been posting M-Th and Saturdays, but I want to cut back some as I'm working full time still, potty training my young daughter, and just generally tired in the evenings from all the hustle and bustle.
Are there particular days that you read blogs more regularly?
I'm considering posting reviews on the days that get the most traffic/comments and leaving the others as breaks in between, though the Virtual Poetry Circle will stay on Saturdays for now as I often prepare those 1-2 weeks in advance.
On my off days for the blog, I plan to spend that 1-2 hours I would be writing a review working on my own fiction or poetry. It's time for me to carve out the time and get disciplined. The toddler cannot be an excuse for laziness on my part.
So you see, this is part check in, and part pep talk for myself.
Also, I'm also in the midst of revising my review policy to cut back on the number of review copies I accept on a yearly basis. I'm considering a specific target number and once I hit that number, I will have to close to review copy submissions/requests.
In that vein, I wonder how many review copies you each accept per year or what your hard and fast rules are?
Any feedback is appreciated.
