I’m Laura and I’m a mom to two little boys and wife to my best friend. My blog is shortandsweetmoments.com where I share my journey of learning to stress less as a mom, wife, and woman in a busy, pressured world. I share tips and ideas for how to take care of your family without overwhelming yourself.
How do you balance blogging and family time?
I’m learning the art of balancing my blog with my family. I love blogging and could easily make it my full time job. But I must remember that my family comes first, so I try to have specific times that I work on my blog. I try to devote blocks of time to my blog each day, around 3 hours. An hour in the morning before my family is awake, an hour while the boys watch a show, and an hour while they nap. I have to choose to say no to the computer so I can focus on my family because it is so easy to get sucked in.
What is your favorite post from your blog?
This is one of my favorite pieces because it is what I wish I had been able to read when I was in the midst of Post-Partum Depression.
Any advice for other bloggers?
I am a new blogger so I don’t have a lot of advice! But the one thing that has really helped me is to get involved in a blogging group on Facebook or Twitter or Google+. I am involved in several on Facebook and they have helped me so much, I can ask questions, receive valuable feedback, and connect with a group of people who understand blogging. If you are a new blogger, I definitely recommend getting involved in a few groups and being an active member.
