(This post contains affiliate links. For more information, read here.) Last year I really wanted a certain toy for Abby to play with during the Christmas season. It finally went on sale but due to our financial situation at the time, we still couldn't afford. I mentioned that briefly in a blog comment. Within a day I received an e-mail from that blog saying that someone had seen that comment and wanted to bless me with the toy. The toy got here a week later. Abby was so excited! This … [Read more...]
How I Use My Blog Planner
As a blogger and business owner there is one thing I have done recently that has made all the difference in my days and weeks. A planner. I used to just keep a running list of blog ideas I had on a piece of paper. I had a Word document as well for that and for items I wanted to add to the Etsy shop. As I've been getting busier with both the blog and the shop, those methods just weren't working for me anymore. So I decided to start using a blog planner. Unfortunately, I couldn't find one that … [Read more...]
Etsy Planner Page
Monday I started searching for a blog planner. I'm just plain losing track of what I'm doing, what I want to do, etc. However, I couldn't find one that I liked 100% so I ended up picking bits and pieces from different free printable blog planners. A calendar from one, a blog idea list from another, a link party list organizer from yet another one....and so on. I kept running into one problem, though. I also wanted to use this planner for my Etsy shop. I already was planning on using black ink … [Read more...]
My Weekend
I know, I know. It's Wednesday. Why am I talking about my weekend? Mainly because I'm finally 100% functioning again. lol Thursday had us driving down to a rehearsal for a wedding. Abby was a flower girl in her uncle's wedding. But the wedding was no where near us so it involved traveling and staying out of town. Friday was the wedding. Abby did a pretty good job walking down the aisle. She and the other flower girl did forget to drop their petals but oh well. At least they walked down the … [Read more...]
When You’ve Lost Your Job
Four years ago (2010) I was fired from a job. It's a very long and silly story. I had had zero issues and then all of a sudden I was chewed out some some minor issues then fired. But, honestly, I never liked that job. The timing for poor but it was the best thing that happened to me. Shortly after I was fired, I posted this list of things to do when you lose your job. The tips are still valid so I thought I would share them with you again. (Originally posted 7/11/10) Friday was I was … [Read more...]
Who I Am…More Than My Circumstances
It has been an interesting year so far. I received news this winter that, on the surface, may have not seemed like a big deal. But it shook me to my core. In short, I was informed that some people find me difficult to deal with which resulted in me not being able to do something I considered part of my identity anymore. I don't even know who these people are but in the context in which it was said, I don't know if some where people I consider friends or not. Like most kids, I was a bit … [Read more...]
