Blogging Changes Lives

Image by tapperboy via Flickr When I first started blogging back in December 2008 I never knew how much blogging would change my life.  I started blogging as a way to pursue my love for writing. Writing has always been an outlet for me, it’s my way of turning a negative into a positive. Originally titled Writings of a WAHM, eventually I realized that was not who I am.  Although I am a Mom, have a business and work from a home office I didn’t feel the name suited what I wanted my blog to be about. As my writing grew and my readership levels grew I found myself relating to others in a way I never had before. When my blog was renamed I saw an increase in interested …

I am not going to write a Fitness Friday post today, however, feel free to visit the Wii Mommies to read up on the latest Fitness Friday posts, because they are awesome!

I am an optimistic thinker, and …

Families Trying To Cut Costs

Families Trying To Cut Costs

As the economy hits more and more families and businesses start laying off employees or even worse firing more employees every family in the world is looking for ways to cut costs. As a person who hasn’t really ever been a “big spender”, I have been finding it hard to figure out where I can cut my already low-cost life. First I called Comcast because I do need the phone in our house which is VOIP and very affordable compared to other phone services and I do wish to have my local news stations as well as PBS Sprout (since I am on the Band Of Bloggers team). Of course, I need to have the internet since that is how I make my income and am able to interact with …
