Cinnamon Red Hots Shortbread Cookies would make a sweet little Valentine gift.

My kids are going to enjoy making Valentine’s Day Sun Catchers.

Did you know there are Live Penguin Cams?

Paper Weaving would be fun on a rainy day.

I need to hunt down an old pallet for this cool Wall of Words.

Frame Grandma’s jewelry for some Sentimental Art.

Master Multiplication Facts with these tips & games.

Free Shakespeare Study Guides are handy for your high schooler.

These Writing Prompt Graphics might kickstart some imagination.

Oven Roasted Smoked Sausage and Potatoes looks like a hearty meal for a cool day.

Use your waffle iron to make Ice Cream Sandwiches.

Growing Your Blog While Managing Your Home Review & Giveaway

January 16, 2014 By: amyswandering1 Comment

Growing Your Blog Review

I started this blog years ago, when the bloggy world was just a little community of people who had a few things in common. There was no following anyone on Pinterest, or making graphics for every post on Picmonkey. As the internet gained speed, and blogging became commonplace, I’ve had to take a crash course to keep up with all the changes.

A blog can be a blessing for a family or it can become a curse. It is very easy to pour hours into writing, editing, creating, and promoting. Balancing blog and home is a challenge. Jacinda from Growing Home has launched an ebook this week that will help create a plan and save you from wasting time hunting for the info you need to kickstart your blog.Her blog has grown ten times in size and now generates a five figure income annually.

Growing Your Blog While Managing Your Home offers a wealth of information to help you set priorities and manage your time. The ebook is divided into four parts:

Part 1: Creating a Vision and Maintaining a Schedule starts with questioning whether blogging is right for you. It will help you set priorities and manage your time online and in the home.

Part 2: Content and Design covers a long list of tips for creating a quality site that is going to draw and keep a reader’s attention.

Part 3: Growth and Monetization  walks you through ways to grow your numbers and monetize your blog.

Part 4: Logistics and Legalities dives into the not-so-fun part of blogging, like dealing with ugly comments or people who steal your content. This is my favorite section because Jacinda reminds us that we are to react softly because the name of Christ is at stake. Such a powerful and important reminder!

You can see the entire Table of Contents HERE.
