Cold and flu season is upon us and honestly, I have been dreading it. Taking care of sick children can be hard when you're sick too, so I try to be as proactive as possible in keeping germs out of our house. With that being said, I've been battling a sinus infection and my immune system can't handle any other germs. I've been following my kids around and disinfecting everything. If you want to keep your families healthy during cold and flu season, here are tips on how to keep your home germ ...
The Truth About Instagram Growth
The truth about Instagram growth - is there really any? There is no such thing as becoming Instagram famous overnight (unless you are born a Kardashian). Social media has you fooled if you believe otherwise. I've spent the last few years trying to decode Instagram and all I can come up with is I missed the boat five years ago that took all my fellow bloggers to the island of 100K. The first time I was told I couldn't be successful without Instagram followers was in at a blogging event. ...

What I’m Loving Lately v1.2019
Hello February! This year I'll be sharing What I'm Loving Lately just once every few weeks in place of Friday Favorites. I'm happy to say I think I soaked up every possible second and enjoyed it during the first month of 2019. For once it doesn't seem like time went by too fast. Perhaps it's because I'm trying harder to be present and putting less stress on myself when it comes to blogging. That isn't to say I have not put my all into starting the year with a bang! January Blog Werk - What I ...
How My Cat Stays Healthy
“This post has been sponsored by Purina®. All thoughts and opinions are my own.” Cats are the best pets. They don’t require a lot of attention, just a clean litter box, a little bit of playtime, and fresh food and water. I talk about my cat, Mcmuffin, a lot because he actually is so awesome, most people want a cat after spending time with him. Mcmuffin is particular, though, and he doesn’t like everyone and everything. He prefers female strangers over males and is very particular about ...
What Does a Full Time Blogger Do All Day?
I cannot tell you how many times I've been asked this question: "What do bloggers do all day?!" It's totally understandable to not understand what a day in the life of a full time blogger looks like if you're not living it. Bloggers are mostly self-employed, making their own schedules and hustling 24/7. It's not all selfies, blogger brunches and talking to yourself in Instagram stories though. There is a LOT you don't see... and I want to share that with you. So enjoy - here is what a full time ...
