I recently saw a few Twitter pages that were different from mine. They were bigger, more visual, more eye-catching with a wide header for Twitter and customized link colors… and I wanted it for myself! :) So, I looked it up and found out how to change mine. It turns out that there was an upgrade and unless you saw it on the Today show or saw it on your social media channels, chances are that it passed you by, like it did with me. SO- here is ...
Short, sweet and to the point… Sometimes all that we need is a little TIME AWAY to get our work done, so that we can be 100% present when we are at home! Paula is so smart- she goes to Starbucks once a week to get her blogging work done. I try to go to the gym and blog instead of working out at least once a week, as well. Both of us are doing the same thing- spending time alone to blog… writing without distraction. This is how we can give ...
I wanted to tell you why my family comes first, before my Your Modern Family blog and before Paula's Beauty Through Imperfection blog and before our Blogging on the Side blog.

Yes, sometimes it may be hard for my readers to understand why I don't get back to them via email ...

Which are you more drawn to… A link or an image? I"m guessing that you are going to say Image… that is what I would say, anyways (I am a visual person). The reason is that the majority of people are visual, like myself. We like to see something and then when they have us interested, we want to see more. Here are my two favorite ideas to get you started. 1. Pinterest 2- Hometalk -I am going to share how to use HomeTalk (It is a DIY blog, ...
I wanted to offer someone a $50 gift card to use towards building a home office. I was given this opportunity on my personal blog and asked to extend it to our Blogging on the Side page & they said YES!! Paula and I have both blogged about organizing our homes or cleaning our homes on our personal blogs, but today we are going to talk strictly about YOUR OFFICE. I was recently given the opportunity to blog (sponsored posts) about two ...

It is easier than you think to Grow your blog with Pinterest. **** See #6 for a super-handy tool that ...
This is just a very quick post to let you know that North Carolina residents are now permitted to be an Amazon Associate. I wrote a post about how to make money without sponsored posts and I mentioned that I was not on Amazon Associates, because I lived in NC. Anyways, we try to always read our comments (sometimes they don't show up in our comments bar and we aren't aware that you've left one), so LeAnn from The Mosaic Life left me a comment to ...
