Although technically I started blogging in 2007, this year brought about new ways of doing things as well as new endeavors. Along the way I have had several more experienced bloggers teach me new things, help me out and overall just help me to improve my life. I’m not yet making enough money to quit my part-time job, but I think this will be the year it happens.
I’m sitting here on Christmas morning – sneaking in some computer time while the kids play with their new toys and eating a quick bowl of cereal. As the year is drawing to an end, I’m starting to reflect on a lot of things. I’ll write more on my reflections in the coming days.
This will be short and sweet…I’ve had the same site design since I started this blog over a year ago. I’ve wanted a new design – but it’s quite pricey, so I’ve stuck with what I have.
I had some requests on how the Niche Blogger was going and although I’m not a millionaire yet, it is going fairly well. I’ve learned SO much about writing and marketing that it will be a valuable resource for me for years to come. I now have a handful of blogs up and running and a few more in the works.
I’ve been wanting to incorporate healthier ingredients into our dinners, but often times eating healthy costs a lot more and sends my grocery costs over the top. On top of that, I’m tired of planning meals each week because it takes FOREVER!
Ok, so let me just start off by saying that there’s nothing exciting here. But I got up at 5:30 yesterday morning and on the spur of the moment decided to go out and shop. There was only a couple of things I wanted, so I ran to Walmart first.
Happy Thanksgiving.
It’s that time of year where we start to reflect on all we are thankful for and I am just overflowing with thankfulness. The year started out very tough for us, both financially and with just a lot of bad experiences. The end of the year holds another story.
As I revisit my simple Thanksgiving menu from last year, I decided I would repost it again this year and include a few more recipes.
Last month I decided I was going to start clearing some food out of my pantry and freezer. I hate when things get freezer burned or wind up with bugs in them and have to be thrown out, so that’s why I decided to start using some of my older items. As an added bonus, I was looking forward to saving some money on my grocery bill.
With Halloween being a week away, some of us still need some quick and cheap ideas for costumes. If you’ve looked at the stores, you’ll see that most costumes are not very cheap at all. So where do you get good costumes at good prices? Read more »
