    I’m Back!!!

    It feels like an eternity since I’ve been able to just sit at my computer and write blog post after blog post.  And I miss it!!  I have been very distant from my blog for the past two years.  And I feel like a bad parent that has neglected their child.  I miss writing blog posts and sharing them with others. When I started my blog, I was self-employed, running my private math tutoring business.  Because I was self-employed, I was able to make my own schedule.  This allowed me to have plenty of time to write blog posts, promote them on social media, and participate in link parties. I…

    Lose the Cape! (A Book Review)

    I had the pleasure of participating in a book review.  Now the funny thing is, this book is all about parenting.  And I am not a mother.  Not biologically, anyway.  I have been assisting in raising my godson since he was six months old, so I thought why not give the book a try.  I must say that I was very pleased, informed and entertained. Lose the Cape!  Never Will I Ever (and then I had Kids!) is a great compilation by editors Alexa Bigwarfe and Kerry Rivera.  Alexa is a freelance writer and mother of three who blogs at No Holding Back.  And Kerry is a full-time working mom of three who…

    Blogging with Sverve

    As a blogger, you come across several social media platforms and many affiliate programs.  It got to the point where I was signed up for so many sites and programs, that I couldn’t keep up with them all.  For a while, I just didn’t go to any of the sites and make updates or check for opportunities, because it just got overwhelming. But I decided to revisit my Sverve account.  Of all the affiliate programs that I have signed up for, blogging with Sverve has been the easiest.  Their site is simple to use and the easiest to understand.  And that is always a plus for me. At first, I…

    New Blog Home

    I have finally moved into my new blog home.  It’s new and exciting, but a little scary at the same time.  As with any move, some things transitioned easily, while others were a little more complicated.  I am just so proud of myself that I was able to do this on my own (with a little help from YouTube and the internet). Most of the furniture is here.  I still need to put up a few fixtures (my Disqus comments to be exact).  I know I have a lot to learn about my new community, but I’m looking forward to it.  So please excuse the clutter until everything is unpacked…

    We’re Moving…

    I have pondered.  I have debated.  I have done lots of research.  I have weighed out the pros and the cons.  But I have finally decided to make the move from Blogger to WordPress. Yes, I’m really going to do it.   Moving is never easy.  There is the anticipation of being somewhere new, and the sadness of leaving something behind.  I have been on Blogger from the start of my blog 1 1/2 years ago. Blogger has been good to me, but I think it’s time for the change.  So please excuse any glitches that may occur in the coming days.  Sometimes things can go wrong during a move.…

    3 Things That Have Made Blogging Easy

    I have been blogging for over a year now.  And it has been a learning and growing experience.  I do not know all the great tips and tricks for making blogging easy.  But I do know what has worked for me.  Am I the best blogger?  Definitely not.  I still have more things to learn and more growing to do. Sometimes as bloggers, we get too wrapped up in stats.  Pageviews, followers, Facebook likes, Twitter followers, Pinterest pins.  Yes, these items do have an effect on the success of our blog.  But there are other things that can contribute to our success.  Here are the three things that have consistently…
