Write like no one is Judging you… Dance like no one is watching…

May 31, 2014 By Becky Mansfield Leave a Comment

Write like no one is going to read it, except the one person that you are really writing to (almost all of my posts come from somewhere… either my husband reminding me of something or my kids, etc… write to them). Write like you want to pour your heart out. Write when you are inspired! I find that I write the best when I write at night. I am a little exhausted (to say the least… raising our 4 blessings that are ages 7, 6, 3 & 1) and I ...

Just a Fool With A Fancy Blog

May 26, 2014 By Paula Leave a Comment

You ever have those days when you are discouraged and stressed about your blog? Either your stats have plummeted, or people haven't been responding as much and let's not get started on Facebook... Yeah, me too. It's easy to let the snarky comments get to you or to allow yourself to be torn up inside about the rude emails about how wrong you were for pouring out your heart. Blogging is hard. Anything you really love to do, is going to be ...

Many of you mentioned that you would be interested in a Blogging On The Side Facebook Group so every one could chat and interact more easily. We went ahead and set one up a couple weeks ago and several of you have already joined in all the fun happening there.

Success – inch by inch

May 17, 2014 By Becky Mansfield Leave a Comment

This is a short & sweet post to give you advice that my dad gives to me… "Becky, Every day is going to pass, no matter what. You can work on your dreams today or you can let the day go by. Every day is one more day, so what are you going to do? Five years are going to pass either way, so accomplish a dream" He told my brother this same advice, so my brother went ahead and enrolled in school to get his PhD. It has been four years ...
