I’m not typically a “how to blog” blogger. In fact, if you’ve followed me for awhile, you know that I really like to steer clear of all of the “expert advice.” But, I keep getting asked how to start a blog, so I really want to give it a shot. Umm…can I be totally honest […]
It’s finally summer break! I look forward to this time every single year. The alarm clock goes off, the activities stop, and the schedule clears. The kids are finally home. After about a week, though, reality starts to set in. The kids sure are home. All day long. Every day. Bickering. Hungry. Bored. I love having […]
Did you know that when I was in college, I tried to sell Mary Kay? It was never a conscious decision, but before I knew it, I had sales quotas and team meetings every week. I had in home parties and private makeover sessions with all of my friends. It started out really fun, but […]
Well, it’s that time again! I have to admit that I feel like a dummy for not thinking about it sooner. The cause of all of our problems lately. The head…the throat…the eyes. It’s pollen season. At least, here in Texas it is. Pollen season used to be a lot worse for us, but as we’ve […]
Can I tell you a story about why I started working for myself? It was nearly a decade ago now (holy, moly!) and I’d left the traditional workforce to be a stay-at-home mom. Eventually, we wanted the extra income, though, but I didn’t want to go back to work. I wanted to be my own […]
Burnout. Ugh! If you run a business or blog from home, I’m sure you know the feeling. We all deal with it from time to time, and it’s the worst. Are you suffering from burnout? I’ve been blogging for a year and a half now. Before that, I ran a creative business through Etsy and Facebook […]
I have a confession to make. I’m totally addicted to Instagram. Like, I spend more time there than anywhere else on social media. While I don’t have a huge following, I do thoroughly enjoy making my feed pretty. Honestly, I don’t feel qualified at all to give anyone Instagram advice. I’ve had a lot of […]
Dear Business Owners, I normally try to be positive here, but I have something I really need to get off my chest. This post is geared towards you, but I hope it resonates with customers, as well. Whether you are a photographer, run an Etsy shop, a blog, or a network marketing business, this applies […]
It’s been a full year (plus some days, because #harvey) since I started this little blog of mine! It’s hard to believe. I’ve run several blogs in the past, but none that I devoted nearly this much time to. This blog is my passion project. My blood, sweat, and tears. It contains so much of […]
We all have our own ways of keeping up with our goals, dreams, and ideas. Today, I am going to share mine. I’ve shared a lot in the past about my planners and bullet journal, but this post is going to expose another side to my planning. The sloppy side. The messy stuff. I’ve been […]
