Yes it is entirely possible to earn an income from blogging! This is just how one mom is doing it.

July 2016 Income and Traffic Report + Goals for August

It’s so hard for me to believe that it’s already August! I did set up a to-do list for the summer but it’s not nearly as complete as I’d like it to be. A lot of it has to do with building my email subscriber list and creating a paid member’s area. It also has to do with finding the time to do everything. Which, I’m now watching my niece several days a week. So having her here has been fun… but also somewhat challenging. It’s also given me some pretty good ideas for blog posts and activities. Anyway, moving on to the latest monthly income report! Please do note that while I call these monthly income reports, this is solely from blogging income at…

Is homework a costant struggle with your child? Try this seven step approach.

How to Help Your Child with Homework

When you were younger, did your parents help you with your homework? For the most part, I did my homework independently. But if I really needed some guidance, I knew that I could ask my mom. And while homework may not have been my favorite part about school, I also knew that it had to be done. Even if it meant doing it the morning it was due. Now it seems that children have homework at younger ages. I’m not sure why this is being done and I can’t say that I agree with it at all. But if your child is struggling with their homework, here’s how to help them without doing all of the work yourself. Every child deserves a parent who is…

How This Blogging Mom is Protecting Her Eyes

“This sponsored post is a part of the campaign “Protecting America’s Eyes” by Reticare in order to inform U.S. citizens about the importance of eye protection from device screens. The opinions expressed in this post are entirely my own.” As a blogger, I spend quite a bit of time in front of a screen. It’s almost unavoidable. And though I try to limit my time on the computer, there are times that I will go longer stretches. I like to work in batches whenever possible because it helps me to save time in the long run. Or at least that’s what I tell myself. But I also know that by spending longer periods of time in front of the computer, it’s more time that my…

Powered By: Okay moms, let’s be real for a second- what are five things that you can never have enough of? For us, with a toddler and teenagers, it’s this: coffee wipes milk soap toilet paper While you may not consider these essentials in your home; for us they definitely are. We always make sure to have these items stocked. This is especially true during the school year when life tends to get busier and we don’t always have time to make frequent trips to the grocery store. It’s during this time of the year that I start to turn to the convenience of online shopping- and…

A crowd pleasing appetizer, this three ingredient bacon and cheddar cheese ball is so easy to make!

3 Ingredient Bacon and Cheddar Cheese Ball

Bacon and cheese is one of my favorite combinations. And that’s also because bacon and cheese are two of my favorite foods. So any opportunity that I can get to combine them? I’m all for it. That includes appetizers to main dishes. One of my favorite appetizers to make lately is a bacon and cheddar cheese ball. And the best part about it? It’s so easy and starts with three ingredients. From there, of course, you can jazz it up as much as you’d like. This pairs well with crackers, bread, or if you’re like Squeaker, just dig in with a spoon. The recipe is also easy to double in terms of quantities so if you need a larger one or want to make multiple…

Pets Mini Tot School Unit

Pets Mini Tot School Unit

  This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Mott’s®. The opinions and text are all mine. #SecretLifeOfMotts As we continue our incredibly lazy and informal tot school over the summer, I go with Squeaker’s lead. Some days she’s definitely more interested in sitting down at the table with me to do something and other days, she’d rather just play. And though we do try to limit screen time, sometimes things on TV will catch her attention. I use those moments to plan for a mini tot school unit that we can spread out over a few days or just do a few activities in the morning. “The Secret Life of Pets © 2016 Universal Studios.
