November Pageviews: 1, 917, 455 Blogging time: almost 2 years. Hi! I share my income each month, so that you can see how it is possible to earn a living with your blog. This is only for yourmodernfamily.com and not for bloggingontheside.com. I simply share it here for three reasons: 1- My personal family and friends aren't interested in blogging, so I don't share my blog with many people in my 'real' life. 2- I don't want to ...

ALL of the details (to make it easier!) & an AWESOME promotion!!!
When you find something that you love, you want to share it. You don't have to 'sell it' because just sharing it does that for you. It is just sharing what you know with someone and hoping that they will love it as much as you do. That's what selling the oils is all about. Ok- let me start off with a "as basic as it gets" post about the oils… there is a lot of interest, but also a lot of questions. 1- You will sign up (this weekend ...
{You are good enough!} I don’t need my name in lights…
I was listening to one of my favorite songs: "I don't need my name in lights, I'm famous in my Father's eyes", when it hit me that I needed to remind all of you, and myself, of this. We try, so hard, as bloggers to be so many things. To be noticed. To be recognized. To be the best that we can be... Because we want to help people. Because we want to earn a living. Because we want to inspire others. I want to remind you of one thing… take ...

I hadn't planned on writing this post today, but when I was looking for a new juicer to buy, I noticed something…. and it made me realize why EVERY image should be edited. This post contains our affiliate links, because we love what we are sharing! Take a look at this picture. Its great, right?

Your Modern Family income October 2014
So many of you have asked me (on our Facebook Group - join here!) about how to monetize your blog and how much I make. I haven’t told anyone my income, except a few close friends and family members, until this site. To be honest, my "non-blogging" friends and family don't even know that this page exists or that blogging makes any money. I don't share it because, well, what why would I share it? Sharing income isn't really something that we ...
Breakdown of my blogging time: writing, promoting, networking, etc…
Hey guys! Becky here... talking about a breakdown of my blogging time! I wanted to talk to you for a minute about this because it comes up A LOT!

My ONLY blogging goal
About a week ago, a friend of mine came at me with the question "What is your blogging goal?" I had to stop for a second before I gave her my answer… "I don't really have one, except to do BETTER this month than I did LAST month." I want to reach MORE people. I want to inspire/help MORE parents. I want to help MORE kids get the time that they need from their parents. I want to help my family by making MORE money on my blog (my income ...
