Come and find your blog bling. You can find widgets, blog templates, chat boxes, calendars, podcasting, and the kitchen sink…well, not the kitchen sink. But this will keep you busy for days deciding what to put on your blog.

As any blogger, professoinal or otherwise, will tell you, blogging takes up ALOT of time. There is no way around it.
There is so much that goes into one’s blogging that it can and will become overwhelming. There are so many ideas, pictures, posts, people, etc. What are you going to do? How are you going to catch up? What will it take to make money?
You must slow down. If blogging is your hobby, you must treat it as a job. If blogging is your job, you must treat it as a job. When I began blogging, I fell in love with it, so to speak. I went from one blog to seven in a matter of 2 months. I was up at the crack of dawn and up until almost the crack of dawn the next day. I could not get enough. I wanted to be a problogger and I wanted to be great at it. You have to make sacrifices for any business, right?
True, but you must remember that you are blogging for your family. Don’t neglect them. I found that neglect was exactly what I was starting to do. My 4 kids hardly spent time with me unless they were sitting on my lap at the computer. My husband only ever heard about blogs, blogging, and posts. It was when he took all the cords to our computer to work with him that I realized that maybe I needed to change how I blogged if I was going to continue to blog. I gave myself a work week. Monday – Friday. No weekends. Period. The first couple of weeks were hard. But I saw my family again. I had other things to talk about besides the latest blog post. Sure, Sunday nights I am up late catching up on e-mails and other blog’s posts, but it is so worth it.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by your blogging, step out of the blogger box and look at it from another angle. It is your job-full or part time. Give yourself a weekend. You, your family, and your blogging career will thank you.

Yes, you heard me…multi-tasking IS served best in the bathroom. Any of you ladies out there who have children at home or used to have children at home know exactly what I am talking about. I don’t care if you have one kid (you lucky bastards) or several (yea…i have 4), you are on a non-stop kiddie boat of poop, spit-up, and the most in-depth conversations about Care Bears and Transformers you thought you would never have in your lifetime!
I love my kids. They are one of the main reasons I started blogging. I am hoping that, one day, I will make a living at problogging. I want to be able to make some money and stay at home to raise my kids. I want my family to be able to have everything and I am willing to work at this blogging profession to make it happen.
With that said, time is like gold to me. I treasure every second I have. I am up at 5 A.M. to start the coffee (NO COFFEE-NO BLOGGIE),check e-mails, write some blog posts, network with my SheWhoBlog ladies, facebook friends, NaBloPoMo buddies, comment on Fun Mondays, Wordless Wednesday, Thursday Thirteen, Winter Bazaar, and do my Family Fun Friday’s with my kids. There is naptime where I can do all that over again and more. Then after the day is done, supper is fixed and eaten, children are tucked in tight, and my hubby and I have actually had an adult conversation, I am back on the blogging bandwagon–re-doing all of the above–again!
As this is my day, the bathroom is the only place where I can be alone with my thoughts. I bet I am not the only one either. While you are sitting there, why not do the only thing a blogging mother who ate a burrito and coffee for lunch can do in this situation–BRAINSTORM!
I know these “tips” may seem strange to you. And yes, my hubby thinks I am crazy for having a notebook in the bathroom. But it helps me to create and become a stronger blogger. So enjoy your bathroom time–brainstorm–create–and don’t forget to light a match!

My family has been sick on and off for about a month and a half. But then, out of nowhere, my son brings home Influenza-A.K.A. The Flu. This Flu is so nasty it knocked all six of us on our butts. This Flu is so powerful that half of my son’s class called in sick on the same day. This Flu is so dangerous that it made our local news due to nearly 100 missing kids last week from school. I don’t have any idea on how to beat the Flu. She is a sinister, deceptive lady that I hope none of my readers (I wish I had more than 1 reader) ever come across. But I do know how she can kill your blogging career…and I would like to share those time-tested tips with you fantastically healthy people today:

I found this poem and I thought of all of us bloggers/writers who are blogging everyday and writing novels in a month–
I Take It You Already Know
Of tough and bough and cough and dough.
Others may stumble, but not you,
On hiccough, thorough, laugh and through.
Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps.
Beware of heard, a dreadful word
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead–it’s said like bed, not bead.
For goodness sake, don’t call it deed!
Watch out for meat and great and threat.
They rhyme with suite and straight and debt.
A moth is not a moth in mother.
Nor both in bother, broth in brother,
And here is not a match for there,
Nor dear and fear for pear and bear.
And then there’s dose and rose and lose—
Just look them up–and goose and choose.
And cork and work and card and ward.
And font and front and word and sword.
And do and go, then thwart and cart.
Come, come, I’ve hardly made a start.
A dreadful language? Man alive,
I’d mastered it when I was five!
—-Anonymous
You can laugh….it’s O.K. Our English language is the horrible beast we love!
