    Can You Earn Money Blogging? – How To Monetize Your Blog

    November 19, 2019 /

    Before I even started this blog, I never even knew it was possible to earn an income doing so. I thought blogs were solely for entertainment or educational purposes. Then one day, my husband (business major/guru) introduced me to the concept of starting an online business. He knew I loved to write, so he figured, why not earn a little cash doing and sharing what I love? I thought to myself, this sounds great, but can you earn money blogging? Upon learning that it was not only possible to monetize my writing, but I could actually make a living, I knew right then, that I wanted to turn it into…

    November 14, 2019 /

      Hi mommas! Today I will be sharing my personal experience and tips for how to start a blog for beginners. I often get asked what I do all day as a stay at home mom. My momma friends that work at a normal day job just can’t wrap their heads around the fact that I am home all day and try to understand how I find ways to fill my time and make money to help support the family and household. The truth is, my daughter fills a lot of my time for me, go figure. But with the downtime I do have, I spend it working on my…

    Tailwind App – Post While You Sleep

    Have you ever wondered how famous bloggers and influencers find the time to write out heartfelt captions and post pictures on their social media feed every day? I’m gonna let you in on a little secret. They don’t. Instead, they have an app that does this for them. Ladies, I’m about to let you in on the best-kept secret of the online business world, say hello to your new best friend, Tailwind App. Before using Tailwind I was lucky to get one visitor to my site, that wasn’t my mom. But, upon using Tailwind, my website traffic began to spike, quick. My numbers increased by over 1000{cff05f84b557692690786f01aac343ca795d254bba52b32b6e7dc8eb4ccdb223} in two days,…

    Do you ever find yourself becoming a little jealous of your stay-at-home momma friends? Do you wish you could find a way to be home with your little ones, but it’s just not in the financial cards? Mommas I’m about to solve all those problems. If you’re reading this, it’s safe to assume you want to know how you can become a stay at home mom.

Happy 4th!!!🇺🇸 Fun fact: today is the 5 yea Happy 4th!!!🇺🇸

Fun fact: today is the 5 year anniversary of Darin and I getting engaged and we were lucky enough to spend it on the beach where it happened! 

It's been so fun here in Florida but we are ready to come home and see some mountains and ditch this humidity🤪
3 months ago I started my postpartum weight loss j 3 months ago I started my postpartum weight loss journey after my second baby. 

It hasn't been easy. There's definitely been highs and lows. 

BUT I'm so happy with the progress I'm seeing. I'm so glad I've taken these pictures each month so I can actually see the difference. 

There's two months between these pictures and I'm so thrilled to see that all of my hard work is paying off. 

Finding time to care for yourself as a mom is so hard but so important and I'm so grateful to my husband who helps me prioritize myself and my mental health. 

I never thought I would say this but I've honestly found solace in the gym. Working on my body and my health has helped me in so many ways other than my physical appearance. It's been my mental and emotional escape as well. 

Becoming a mom has taught me a lot about myself. I've discovered new things I never thought I would enjoy and I'm so happy with the progress I'm seeing, not only physically but in every way possible.

Those big brown eyes have my whole heart!! Harvey Those big brown eyes have my whole heart!! Harvey is 4 months old (yesterday). He's such a chill baby and brings a happy, calming vibe to the family. 

He's super close to rolling over and he giggles all the time. He loves his big sister, his play mat, and he loves to observe everything. He's still a champ when it comes to sleeping 🙏🏼🙌🏼 and he even got his first haircut this week. 

Happy 4 months my sweet boy! I love you more than you'll ever know💙.

They have so many options to choose from and you can meal plan or bundle as well!

Once you choose your meals, they send you all of the meals frozen and when you're ready to make them, all you have to do is thaw the frozen food, put it in a crockpot, set it to low, and you're good to go! Plus they ship all over the U.S. 

I'm so happy I found them! I don't dread making dinner anymore. They have so many options to choose from and I haven't had a bad meal yet.

Harvey is still sleeping through the night 🥳 and he's become a lot more talkative and vocal, he giggles and smiles all the time, and he has surprisingly kept most of his hair so far! I'm hoping it just stays forever 🤞🏼.

I forgot how fast they grow at this age! I'm excited to see what this next month brings!
