The idea of contacting companies to work with can seem a bit daunting for new bloggers. The feeling that there is no way they would want to work with nobodies or that you don’t have any reach at this point. This is a totally normal feeling, but not necessarily true. Companies really do want to work with a variety of bloggers even if they are new or well established. New bloggers haven’t built those relationships with competing companies that well established blogs may have already done. The point I am trying to make is to not feel bad or...
Most couples have dogs. Or pets in general. I read an article that said that most couples my age start with dogs as their “first born children”. Elsa is definitely our first born. Yes, we had two cats first, but they don’t count. Cats can be fairly self reliant so it is just not the same. This might not be so much about advice to introducing pets to babies, but rather what we didn’t do and how it all played out. When I was pregnant, we had plenty of people that seemed concerned about how our dog Elsa or our...
After getting married and having kids, one starts to forget about many different things from their wedding day. The table decorations start to fade. What your meals were. The music being played. I don’t think that I could ever forget the process of making my handmade brooch bouquet. I have always been a unique individual that liked to think outside the box. I kept seeing these pop up on Etsy during my inspiration phase of planning and I was not ready to spend like $500 for a bouquet. I think I would have been more likely to spend that...
My recent love affair with Mid Century modern furniture is what I would call a tab unhealthy. I want every piece of furniture in my house to have angled tapered legs? Is that weird? No? Ok good… This piece that I made was something that I had been thinking about for quite a long time and thinking of the most efficient way. Let’s be honest..I have a 3 yr old. I don’t have time be sitting in a garage making furniture. But I want to make furniture. What is a girl to do? What?! Sorry..mid mod gets me all revved...
Has Pinterest blocked your site as spam? This happened in the 2nd week of my blogging endeavor and I totally feel your pain. It can really put a hiccup in your motivation and it can definitely kill the momentum that you have worked really hard getting started. BUT, it was not the end of the world. Because I was no longer able to pin and NEW pins, I just made a sheet of all the posts that have not been pinned yet so that when I was released from Pinterest prison that I had something to start back with....
I will preface this now by saying this will be a fairly picture heavy post, but I am just so smitten with Iceland still 4 years after being married that I just had to share her with everybody else. If you are the type of person that either already lives in a beach time climate or tropical weather is not your jam (like me), then Iceland is really right up your alley and I would give it a try. I have done quite a bit of traveling (not as much as the rest of my family) but I can...
Here are some of my favorite beauty products that I think would either make great gifts to ask for or I would just buy them myself because that is how I roll. They are really great products and you can check out the reviews to verify. I am a stickler to buying skincare and makeup products and read reviews religiously before buying. May contain some affiliate links SUNDAY RILEY POWER COUPLE COMBO PACK If you have wanted to try anything Sunday Riley but cannot justify the price tag, give this pack a try. It is a great price and two...
this post may contain affiliate links October was a good month. My favorite holiday is in October and it finally started to get a bit chilly in Minnesota. For those that don’t live in MN, or the midwest in general, it does actually get really really hot here in the summer and we tend to just go straight from hot to winter. Since starting to work my job at home, I have really been able to enjoy those little things that I wouldn’t normally get to enjoy. Favorites Chobani Flip Yogurt I thought I would give these a...
NOTE: Please turn off adblocker to be able to see the pictures of the gift ideas. Affiliate links are used Are you having trouble trying to find a gift for your kids? If you are like me, the toys these days are way too intense for me to try and figure out. A few days ago I was going through some of the tubs downstairs and found some of my old toys from when I was a kid. I always like finding my own toys and seeing what Inga thinks of them. She loves my old Barbies, although I don’t...
post contains affiliate links – Please turn off ad blocker to see the items suggested I don’t know about you but I love Amazon. Like I really love Amazon…I have been a member for 13 years and a Prime member for as long as I can remember. I think I started out Prime like everybody else did with a Free Trial during the holidays. Ooooh boy that sucked me right in. I have been addicted to Amazon ever since. Other than actual food and clothing (I am a giant and can’t buy normal clothes), I buy everything with Prime....
Are you ready for a bulldog? That seems to be the question I always ask people when they come running up to my dog saying, “OMG I have wanted a bulldog forever” or “I am so getting one. They are so cute”. Yes yes, they are very cute and yes they are great dogs. But that comes with a warning….unless you are neurotic, paranoid, and pay attention to every little thing with your dog, don’t get a bulldog. I try to say that to anybody that comes up and asks me about my girl. I know, it is a...
may contain affiliate links I don’t know about you but most husbands or significant others that I see around my quaint MN do not like shiny brown shoes, expensive leather watches, bow ties, or scented candles (wtf?). Most guys think Christmas is at the wrong time because it comes after hunting season so your ideas for gifts definitely seem to dwindle because if they didn’t have it before, they bought it for hunting. Ugh…. I thought I would try to come up with a gift guide that can be shared amongst us wives and girlfriends that need that odd present...
Have you ever wanted to really make those Halloween props you see all over but think they are too hard? THINK AGAIN! We made this grim reaper (We call him Grim for short) in maybe a couple hours with very few materials. Materials PVC piping – Depending on how big you want him, you can choose the size of pipe. Just make sure you get elbows for shoulders and well..elbows. Concrete cement – Use this to keep the piping from moving as you add stuff Chicken wire – I am sure you have some of this in your garage already....
Are you a tall mama? I am. I am definitely in the higher bracket of tall being 6’2″ but I know there are many lovely ladies taller than myself. When you are tall everything takes a little bit longer. Shopping takes longer. Trying things on takes longer. Getting dressed takes longer. I used to hate how tall I was. I could never find reasonably priced jeans that would actually be long enough and shirts are never long enough. I figured out one of those issues and I still have to dry my shirts on the coolest heat otherwise I will...
Not only has this first week of blogging been pretty overwhelming, I don’t even have a planner or binder to keep everything organized yet! GAH! I have joined quite a few Facebook groups for blogging as I have noticed that those amazing groups of folks are really helpful in getting your blog out there! The one thing I have noticed though is really how difficult it is to keep track of what pages are doing what for that day and which groups have I posted in yet. Not only that, but I need to make sure to share the love...
These Oatmeal Fudge bars have been made in our family for as long as I can remember. If you are from Minnesota, I can almost guarantee that your Mom or your Grandma has this More Cooking in Minnesota cookbook. As you can see in the picture that my mom’s book that she has bestowed to me has been shown quite a lot of love. My Grandma would make these every holiday and I looked so forward every time she brought them. I treated them as a holy grail, that you only got at the holidays and no other time. NOT...
Only seriously blogging for about a week is not much but I have a sneaking suspicion that this is the point where a lot of people will quit when they realize how hard it is and that it will take time. I have tried blogging quite a few times in the past but I never wanted to take the plunge of actually getting a domain or signing up for anything. I had a bit of a rough start with Wix. I signed up with them and was really excited and bought a domain, and then realized later that they had...
UPDATE: They have made a price change so with this coupon it would be $29 for your first box, but I think you get another $15 off you sign up for the newsletter. Living in Minnesota, we don’t usually get to be part of those fun home delivery fads that I have seen lately like green smoothie deliveries or already made meals. The joys of wanting to live in the country I guess. I pretty much watch Youtube daily and I had noticed a lot of Youtubers were being sent HelloFresh to “try” and most likely promote. I thought that...
Kids get colds. Kids get a lot of colds. Sometimes it feels like kids always have some sort of sore throat, cold, or runny nose. It definitely takes some practice to figure out what works for your child to make their life, and yours, a bit easier. I have a few tips and tricks that I have come up with that really seemed to work out for us. There were definitely trials and tribulations in our quest for resolving the dreaded all night crying because of stuffy noses. Mostly related to the damn vaporizers. My first tip and the biggest...
I really should write a post that literally just gives a link and then mic drop and walk away. But I won’t do that because I really do love Ebates. I discovered it about a year ago and yeah…I pretty much try to buy everything I can online now. I think they recently came out with some cash back for in store as well. There are thousands of stores that you can possibly get cash back for doing nothing. So let me explain what Ebates is for some of those that have never used it. Do you buy things online?...
