It’s That Time Again!

Yep, I’m starting up another session of Blogging 101 at BlogWritingCourse.com.  This is always a fun undertaking – – I LOVE watching folks blossom into bloggers in just 8 short weeks! 
So if you have a friend, family member, (or even a high schooler!) who has been contemplating starting a blog, but needs that [...]

Blogging is so Incestuous!

And yes, of course, I used that title to increase my blog traffic for today.  But I’m in Florida as this “goes to press” so just try to find me and make me change it. Ha!
Anyway… I’ve been discovering some great new blogs.  And I was so proud of myself.  Until, of course, I saw [...]

Yes, Trust Me…I Get The Irony

The irony of a gal who teaches a blog writing course, but never actually blogs.  Mm-hmm.  I see all your eye-rolls and giggles. 
But until I figure out how to find time for both, then the course wins.  Why?  Because they haven’t figured out how hypocritical I am. 
You guys knew that ages ago. 
So [...]

Looking For The Emergency “Off” Button

Yet another busy week is passing by, and I am looking around wondering if the guy who controls this merry-go-round might have stepped out for a smoke.
This past weekend I attended a youth conference with some of the youth from my church, including Uber.  After two nights, three days, and one lost hour of daylight [...]

Who Do You Think Would Make A Good Blogger?

Ready for a news flash?  Not everyone with an internet connection has their own blog!
I’ll wait quietly while you recover from the shock. 
The funny thing is that there are people in my life that I’m secretly convinced would make a smashing success out of blogging.  Like a friend of mine who lives off the [...]

Blog Deficit Disorder

It was bound to happen, I suppose.  My personal struggles with ADD seem to creep into every nook and cranny of my life eventually.  So, it was inevitable that it would start affecting my blogging, as well.  A few weeks ago, I started another blog on our local newspaper website.  It is all about homeschooling [...]

Double the Blogging Means Double The Fun

As some of you know, this blog is the result of a blog writing course I took called “Black Belt Blogging.”  It was an amazing experience, and I met some terrific new bloggers, many of whom are still on my blogroll!  The class was a transformational time for me, because it opened up my eyes [...]

Watch Your Back, Bill

I recently heard someone say they believed that the biggest reason Hillary Clinton was running for president was that she had something to prove to Bill.  I’m not necessarily a political person, so I really don’t have much opinion about that statement one way or another, but I do understand the underlying sentiment.
You see, R-T [...]

Wanna Play A Party Game??

Anybody like parties?  Anybody like prizes?  Anybody like blogging?  What’s that you say?  Yes? Yes? and Yes?  Then you are at the right blog!  This week we are celebrating the Ultimate Blog Party hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom.  This is a time for all things fun, frivolous, and festive.  And to sweeten the deal, [...]

Those Were The Days…

I’ve been trying out some of the new television shows that have started up mid-season, and I’m having a difficult time connecting with them.  I find it difficult to connect to new shows – – in fact, I’ve become sort of a TV commitment-phobe, because most of the shows I really start to like get [...]
