For me, the best thing about blogging is the opportunities that the business creates. Yes, I say business because that's exactly what it is. I am no longer doing this as a hobby - I haven't been since late 2011. It's a way for me to be a WAHM, being able to stay home with my son while still earning a supplemental income for our family. Anyway, back to the opportunities! With blogging, I have … [Read more...]

On the flip side, there have been moments where I am bursting with ideas and I can't decide what to write about first...and … [Read more...]
