Making Blogging Work For Me

Posted: 30 Aug 2011 05:49 PM PDT


This is one of those posts that I am writing right now…  If I put it on my “post ideas” list , it might never get done or with the same thoughts that are currently flying around in my head.

I love blogging. I love the friendship, the creativity and the inspiration. I love creating blog designs and graphics! I love it all!

But sometimes I get so caught up and busy [a good thing!] in doing design work and creating blogs for other people I forget to leave time to write quality posts here on my own blog! I don’t leave myself enough time to write a post with good content and that is truly reflects me my branding. I feel like I am always scrambling trying to get something written for the next day.

So here it is… I am re-dedicating myself to writing good quality blog posts. Because that is what this blog is all about… learning about blogging and design,  a platform to share my blog design work, and to give you a little peak into my daily life!

To help myself have time for blogging I have re-organized my “computer time and working” schedule. I have set aside more time to blog, and to read other blogs.

In redoing my schedule I also decided that I need to make it a priority to have computer/internet free weekends. I think it is super important to take a break and step away from blogging and the internet. At least for me. After stepping away from the computer for the weekends I get to monday morning excited, refreshed, with a clear head and ready to tackle another week!

By taking a break I am a better blogger and business owner. It helps keep me motivated and avoid blogger burnout! That being said, I am still running a business so I can’t remove myself completely, I will still check my email occasionally [on my itouch] but won’t be spending time on the computer. My weekends will be dedicated to playing with that cute little 1.5 year old [pictured above] and husband!

This new schedule seems to be working for me and my family. And that’s what’s important, making blogging work for you!

My New *official* Business Hours:

Monday – Thursday: 9-3 am and 8-10 pm

Friday: 9-3 am

Saturday & Sunday: Beach, Church, Playing and Island exploring with Miss S and B.

[obviously I am NOT at my computer at all those times listed above. I am a mother first, blogger & business owner second. I work in computer time around my daughters naps, playing etc. But those are the times I will be most available to answer questions.]

Do you have a specific schedule or time you blog?

HootSuite Tutorial

Posted: 30 Aug 2011 12:06 AM PDT


I have a little confession… I really hate hate hate logging in and out of sites. I am that lazy. I especially hate logging into facebook, typing a status update, logging out, logging into twitter, and typing the exact same status update. It takes way to much time! Anyone with me? So when I found HootSuite I was in love!

HootSuite makes managing multiple social media accounts a breeze! And it is free! Every girl loves free right? You can post to all your different accounts at once and even schedule posts ahead of time! Cool huh!

Here is a quick little tutorial on using HootSuite. You can click on each of the images to view them larger and read the instructions! :)

You need cool images that tell your story, fit your theme, and support your style. Having the right tool for that job—one specifically made for creating and editing web graphics—is a must.

Here's an example of one image with two equally awesome results:

Cool effects are easy with Web Image Studio

And that's just the tip o' the iceberg—there's so much more! Create backgrounds, icons, buttons, illustrations, and more for your website. Think cool headers, snazzy footers, amazing mastheads, and subtle sidebars—anything your creative mind can conjure! Look how easily this Plain-Jane menu can be spiffed up:

Yay! Image editing made simple.

Have you been test driving the new “blogger” [google blogs] with blogger in draft? There are some really cool new features! I am going to share one with you that I am really excited about!

With the new blogger you can add a page that goes directly to a url instead of going to a static blogger page! This is great news! That means you can have a shop page that goes directly to your etsy or big cartel shop instead of a blog page!

Just login into your blog > pages > add new > then chose to add a new page with a web address! Whala!

Don’t you think that is AWESOME!

Lilla Rose Giveaway!

Posted: 24 Aug 2011 11:29 PM PDT


Today I am super excited to be hosting a giveaway for one of my sponsors Lilla Rose!

Brandi is giving away 2 Flexi Clips today!

About Lilla Rose …  The Lilla Rose product line centers around unique, functional, and well made hair jewelry. From our flagship Flexi Hair Clip, we have expanded to Hair Sticks, Orings, Hairbands, and Bobby Pins.

I had personally never heard of Lilla Rose until Brandi contacted me. Brandi is super awesome to work with! She very generously let me choose a flexi clip and mailed it to me to try out! I *LOVED* it! The flexi clip was great because it allowed me to pull my hair back [it is SUPER hot in hawaii] but yet still have a cute, stylish hair-do!

I chose the Hawaiian Flower Clip!

You are sure to find something you will love at Lilla Rose!

This is how awesome Brandi is… Until January 15, 2012, Brandi is donating 30% of all online purchases to the building of Tiggy’s House  through Tiny Hands, International. Also, through the end of August, any orders of $50 or more will receive a certificate for a FREE Flexi-clip (up to $15).

Okay so the giveaway…

TWO winners will win a Flexi Clip of their choice!

Flexi Clips are great because they come in 6 different sizes so that no matter your hair type, texture, or length you can find a cute clip that works for you!

To Enter:

Simply leave a comment telling me which product/s you like!

Want an extra entry? [leave a separate comment for each]
