Freelance Writer, Mom Blogger – Kingston, Ontario
I was nominated by Chandra at Italian Belly to participate in the Sunshine Blogger Quiz! It’s a blogger interview where you answer some questions, then tag a few fellow bloggers to participate and it just continues on. This is my first encounter with one of these “tag a blogger” type chain letters, and it was […]
If you’re anything like me, you’re a blogger who’s completely overwhelmed by looking at Google Analytics. I go visit my charts and I have no idea how to manipulate anything to get it to show my what I want. The words are weird, there’s a graph with a bunch of ups and downs, and then […]
Now that I feel I’ve got a handle on where I want my blog to go I’m ready to entertain the idea of guest posts. And guest posting. But I really have no idea of the etiquette and real world applications of guest posting. Incoming Requests I have had a handful of emails from people […]
Welcome to 2017! Now that we’re in a fresh, new year I thought I’d share some of my hopes and plans for my blog. When I started blogging I really had no idea what I was doing. I just wanted to basically write down my life, and the stuff I was getting up to […]
Today I want to reflect on my blog and how I’m doing after 8 months on WordPress. I feel that I’m holding at “so far so good.” I’ve got my blog looking fine, my email list has a few subscribers, and my content is feeling a little more unidirectional. I have some ideas for the […]

This blog has been up for 2 months or so. I love it. It’s giving what I need, or almost. I have an older blog that I started a little over a year ago, and I loved it too, but now that I’ve refocused and upgraded to a blog that gives me more control I […]
Every year at this time I start to wonder if I can really hack being a mom and being employed 4 days a week. The kid’s extracurriculars all end in the same week, there’s a dance performance to attend (and organize family and friends to attend also) and the school year is winding down – […]
I’ve avoided joining Pinterest for this long but I finally succumbed and made myself an account. I feel like I’m missing out on potential opportunities for influencer marketing without one. Truthfully I don’t really know how to grow my blog with Pinterest, but it must do something or I wouldn’t keep stumbling over all these […]
*After I published this post I had a comment from a fellow blogger that I felt needed addressing. I did not start blogging to just “get free stuff.” I did not intend this post to sound like that is my goal in my blogging career. I love blogging for the writing, the learning, the sharing. […]
