10 Things I Enjoyed About My First BlogHer Conference

September 6, 2016 2 Comments

I can’t believe that it’s been a month since I attended the BlogHer 16 Conference in Los Angeles, California. I absolutely loved my time in LA, and the best part of the conference, for me, was getting to meet so many wonderful female bloggers. You see, I blog from a small city in East Tennessee and I haven’t gone to any “blogger meet-ups”, although I really think I’m going to change that! I WANT to meet other bloggers and I want to expand my blog outside of the confines of my little area in East Tennessee. I want hundreds, if […]

I sometimes watch those home improvement shows just to see the landscaping designs they come up with, and then try to figure out how I can recreate that design in front of my own house. When my husband and I bought his grandmother’s house at the end of last year, we set about making this house our home. Even though we’ve lived in this house for 14 years, we did share this house […]

Be a #BossBabe and Make This a Great Week

August 21, 2016 No Comments

Do you ever find yourself sitting in your living room on Saturday evening and the realization hits you that the next day is Sunday? Well, that’s where I found myself last night. I didn’t accomplish ANYTHING on Saturday, unless you count taking two (yes, TWO) naps! So last night I found myself scanning my bullet journal/daily calendar to work on my editorial calendar for my blog. It just feels like ever since I returned from the BlogHer 16 Conference (which was in LA), I haven’t sat down and written any blog posts except for one. The other two or three that […]
