Plus regular collaborations are great for my self-confidence; I must be doing something right! The blog is also the part of my life… Continue reading Self-Care Sunday #29
I created my first pin five years ago. 21,361 pins later I've gained 15,000 followers and have had as many as 84,000 viewers a month. Not too shabby, right? So I've created a little post about how to get started when it comes to using Pinterest to promote your blog or small business. Setting up… Continue reading Pinterest for bloggers
A few weeks ago I hosted the #lbloggers chat because I wanted to talk about blogging trends and technologies. I've always been a bit of an 'old-school' blogger because I like to stick to basic posts with words and photos. I am working on upping my game with photography but I have no interest in… Continue reading Thoughts on blogging trends and technologies

Gone are… Continue reading Thirteen Reasons Why, Taylor Swift and the start of summer #LittleLoves

Be inspired. I'm inspired as a writer, and to produce content, by magazines, podcasts, other blogs, TV… Continue reading 12 things I’ve learned in 12 years of blogging
Wow, this is my 100th Saturday Share! Well, it started out as a Follow Friday series but I really wanted to do Friday Favourites. Then I switched Friday Favourites to Little Loves and really could have posted those on Saturdays and switched these back to Fridays... Oh, never mind!
