Okay, in the case of wanting to be fully transparent and to show how I’m earning money as a stay at home mom who’s making the transition to being a work at home mom; I’m going to start publishing monthly income reports. Because I eventually plan on branching out to other endeavors that won’t be directly related to the blog, I’m calling these online income reports instead of blog income reports. Granted yes, the bulk of what I earn (to this point and until I establish my other endeavors) will be through the blog. But, once I have everything else sketched out and established, I’ll start adding that in as well. So, all of that out of the way- let’s dive in! And yes, though…

I may have mentioned before that I am a goal oriented person. I like setting goals and I think they keep far more on task then setting something like a resolution. Sometimes I may have issues with achieving my goals, especially if I’m not breaking them up into actionable steps. This is also something that I’m working on in terms of self improvement and time management. It’s all about steps and breaking things up for me because the more I can plan, the better of I am… most of the time. Now if I could just apply all of that to blogging, I might be good to go! January was an okay month for me on the blog front. I managed to rebrand, mostly with…

“I created this post as part of a campaign by Teva Pharmaceuticals. I received an American Express gift card for participating.” Migraines suck. There’s really no way around it. And if you suffer from migraine headaches, then you know what I’m talking about- right? They’re disabling, disrupting, and so much more than just a headache. Often, the moment you see those auras (or whatever else your warning sign might be), you know. You’re down and out for the day. Whatever plans you may have had, will be put on hold. Or you could try to power through it, when we all know that it isn’t likely to happen. Sure, we’ll put on a brave face and make do because it’s what we do. But are…

Though we’ve just had our first taste of normal winter weather (cold, snow, you know the stuff) here in Albany, cold season did not wait to arrive. In fact, we were hit with our first round of colds a few weeks ago and Kyle’s oldest just recently came down with the flu last week. But just what is the difference between the common cold and the flu? For that matter, is there a big difference? If you’ve ever had the flu, then yes- you know the answer to that question. There is a huge difference. But how do you tell the difference between a cold and the flu? What symptoms do you look for and from there, how do you treat it? Today, I want…

As a blogger, you’re probably already aware of just how important Pinterest is for driving traffic. And not only that, but for driving long term traffic. Pinterest can become a steady and reliable source for traffic and believe it or not, it’s not just for food and crafts anymore. In fact, some of my top performing Pinterest posts are autism, parenting, and finance related. Sure, some of the recipes have done fairly well but I get more long term traffic from those first three categories. That being said, I wouldn’t say that I’m a Pinterest guru or a power pinner; not by any stretch. I’ve just found what works for me and the types of pins that work for me. Still, I wanted to share…

If you, like me, are a skeptic about diets- I encourage you to keep reading on to the end of this paragraph. If I’ve really caught your interest, keep reading on to the end of this post and who knows; maybe we’ll have made a deeper connection by the time all is said and done. I’ve made mention in the past, albeit briefly, about the various types of diets that are out there. I have yet to really try any of them but wanted to look into them so I could explore my options. I’m not really one for fad diets but I’m aware of what I eat. I remember when a former co-worker was talking to me about clean eating and how much it…
