Can you believe that it’s already July? This year is half over and while part of me feels incredibly accomplished… there’s a part of me that knows that I still have so much to do! I was never one to fully buy into the “summer slump” when it came to blogging. And though my numbers are down from last month, I’m not too concerned. That said, I’m going to follow the same format as I did last month.

As moms we take on a lot. Sometimes we may take on too much, but we’ll still probably try to convince ourselves that we can do it all. Maybe we can, maybe we can’t.

Even though we should know by now, that if we want to properly handle everything else; we really shouldn’t neglect our health. I say this because I’ve done it often. I start the year with all intention of making my health and wellness more of a priority. And maybe I’ll do okay until March or April. Then by June, I’ve fallen off the fitness wagon. And then, of course, I’ll wonder why I’m not…

Is developing a brand really that important for a blogger? This is something that I’ve asked myself countless times over the past few months. Developing a brand was something that I associated more with a company, not a person. A brand was for a business. So maybe that’s why developing a brand is important for bloggers. I treat my blog like a business because it’s part of my business. Because of that, I want to develop a brand for it that’s memorable. But what makes a brand memorable? Is it the logo, the tagline, the colors, the mood? What are the essential elements to include for a memorable brand? There are basically seven elements you can incorporate into your brand building strategy. We’re going to…

Okay, so while I’ve been sporadic with posting my monthly goals (May Goals & February Goals), I also haven’t posted an income report since February… which was really the income report for January. I would love to tell you that this is more of a priority for me, but it isn’t. Yes, I do enjoy sharing and I enjoy answering any questions… so maybe that will give me the motivation I need. Anyway.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of American Heart Association for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Over the past several years, yoga has become increasingly popular among all age groups. It’s relatively easy to get started and offers numerous health benefits to its practitioners. In fact, for this mom, it’s become one of my home exercises of choice. Yoga has helped me not only with meeting my fitness goals, but also with my overall health and wellness goals by giving me another outlet to reduce my stress levels. Yoga is also something that families can do together. If you’re looking for some ideas to get your family started with yoga, check out some of these “Mommy and Me” poses from the American Heart…

Sometimes blogging feels like a roller coaster. Some days it may make you feel like a dog chasing it’s own tail. Blogging can be so incredibly rewarding in ways that don’t show up in numbers. But there’s also something substantial, something tangible, something to go by when we have the numbers in front of us. For me, numbers and stats are just one measurement of my success as a blogger. Google analytics is the industry standard as far as measuring stats. But there’s so much more that you can use it for than just figuring out your stats. It really does beyond that if you take the time to just poke around and explore. Really, Google analytics can help you devise a long-term blogging strategy….
