SO many of you ask this question to Paula and I in our blogging on the side Facebook group, so today I wanted to give you a very brief explanation: "Where do we start with monetizing with ads on our page? What is Adsense, The Blogger Network & Adthrive?" Here you go… :) This is the path that both Paula & I have taken. 1. GOOGLE ADSENSE: When you first start your blog, you have the option to apply for Google Adsense, or you can ...

I want to share a few ways that I stay connected without actually being online. I like to try to jump on every day, a few times, but some days (like Saturdays) when I am spending time with my family, I just can't be online. FACEBOOK: Did you know that Facebook frowns upon using outside services to schedule Facebook posts? For this reason, I schedule my Facebook Posts all at once, right from my Facebook Fan Page. Just now, I went onto ...

There are a few to choose from, but I have personally found that YOAST seems to be the easiest to use. It gives me a "green light" when it is ready to go. I love that because I am a visual person. I use it on Your Modern Family & on here. I ...
Time management for a blogger is something that all bloggers struggle with, especially if they are writing to make a living from their blog (yes, this can be done!) Here are a few of my best tips for time management: Home: 1- Slow cooker meals. This has been the best thing that I've done for our family since starting my blog. I found that I wasn't planning my meals, so we were going out twice a week and I don't like to eat out because it ...
