Hey everyone! I’m Ashley from 3littlegreenwoods. Sharing how I am slowly turning our newest house from drab to fab is wonderful treat! The hunt is always on for fun, frugal projects to add personality to our home and recipes that all my little Greenwoods will eat. Especially my Little Boy!

I'm sure it's clear by now, that I love blogging. I think it's awesome, and it has been good for me and my family, in more ways that I can count. But sometimes, it can have a negative affect on real life as well, sometimes blogging can hurt your real life. There is such a careful balance to blogging, and it's different for each family and writer. I'm not going to tell you to quit blogging, or that you need to do everything the same way I do, ...

Welcome back to another wonderful interview! This week we're talking with Jillian! Hi! My name is Jillian Robertson. I am the mom of eight year-old triplets, and wife to a doctor in residency. I blog over at Hi! It's Jilly, where I share crafts, recipes, projects, and stories from our life. How do you balance blogging and family time? I usually only blog during the day while the kids are at school, or at night after the kids go to bed. I try ...
I wanted to share a little blogging tip that I learned almost a year ago and it deals with the reason that I don't put an image before words in a blog post. (I just did another trick right there that I will explain today, too- #2 below). I always add a little intro first and then the image (find out why you don't put an image before words in a blog post below…) 1- The reason that you don't but your image before words is because when the ...
I frequently get asked how I find the time to post as much as I do. I post 5-9 times on my blog each week, plus one to two times over here each week. Granted, some of the posts on my personal blog are down done by contributors ( 1 or 2 a week) and I host a link party on saturdays, which takes care of another post, but that still leaves me creating 3-6 posts each week on my own, while also scheduling and editing the others. First of all, I want ...
I am always on the hunt for great organizing tips. Blogging is certainly no different. Here are a few organizing tricks: 1). Get an editorial calendar plugin & keep your posts scheduled several days (even a week) in advance. 2). Keep a list of post ideas. I just write them into my "notes" section as soon as I think of something. My list is SO long right now! 3). Keep an actual planner & use it. Highlight sponsored posts so that ...

I wanted to tell you what I do every so often, when I feel like I am having blogger burnout. Sometimes I really just feel like I get a little overwhelmed (if you ever feel this way, check out "should I quit my blog"?) Today I want to tell you how to re-use your old content & why its a good idea for your blog. What most people don't understand is that blogging isn't just writing your post. No, that's the fun part. That's what draws you ...
