How I Easily Do My Blog Taxes From Home

April 1, 2019

This post is sponsored by H&R Block but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

If you are doing taxes for your blogging income for the first time, bless you! I can honestly say that taxes are my least favorite part of blogging. I am super excited to share how I made it less painful with you today! I do not know what I would do without Ryan (the best blogger husband in the world) and H&R Block! Ryan helps me with a good bit of the business side of blogging and we have been using H&R Block now for several years. I don’t have to go to an accountant and can easily (and quickly) file my taxes from the comfort of my couch! How awesome is that? As a busy mom, who has time to go through extra errands? No, thanks!

Why Sunday Nights Are Crucial in Blogging

January 31, 2018

A couple of weeks ago, I asked if you guys wanted to see more posts about blogging and y’all overwhelmingly said YES! So, here we go with post #1. This may be a weird place to start, but lately I have been a very “in the moment” blogger, and this is something I have wanted to talk about for a while, so why not start here? For the last couple of years, my “work week” has started on Sunday evenings. I can tell a huge difference in when I get those 2 hours of work done on this night and when I don’t, and they really do make or break my entire week as far as blogging is concerned.

New Years Goals and Plans + A Look Back on 2016

January 4, 2017

I am totally that girl that always says I am going to eat healthy this year, exercise more, read my bible every day, etc. and I do great for a couple of months, but I always give up sometime in February. Exercising is a huge part of my life. I love to run because it helps me manage my stress and anxiety and I have been slowly starting back after I was cleared to exercise a couple of weeks ago. It has felt so good and has already made me feel so much better physically nd mentally. I do have a LONG way to go and a lot of weight to lose, but I am determined more than ever to try to focus on my diet.

What My Day As A Blogger Looks Like and Why I Love It

March 3, 2016

I have made no bones about the fact that I love blogging. It started out as a hobby that I started up one day because I was working on websites at the time and thought it would be fun to start my own. It was something I did totally on a whim and had no idea it would turn into a full-time job. I wanted to write this post today because a lot of people have been asking me what I do lately. It has always been easier just to say I am a SAHM, but that’s not the whole truth. The truth is, I work my tail off. I have been working 40-60 hours a week for the last year now. There is a lot to the world of blogging. With millions of blogs out there, there is a lot of work you have to do to stand out. Some bloggers get lucky and have a post go viral that can carry them for a while, but for most of us, that is not the case.
