Am I the only one that feels that 2018 came and went in a flash? Like seriously. I still can’t believe that we are in 2019 already! It feels like 2018 just started. But here we go. Off to show you my top 10 blog posts of 2018.

Before starting I want to say thank you for all of your support during my blogging journey. It has been amazing and I wouldn’t be here doing what I love if it wasn’t for your support. If you are new here, then welcome.

When I first started blogging it was as a hobby. We were living in Hawaii so I didn’t do much research on everything that involves in turning your blog into a business. I just went with Weebly at the time, wrote random articles from our adventures around Hawaii and shared it with friends and family. This recently changed in the last year when I decided to revamp my blog and turn it into a business. I wanted to create content that everyone would enjoy reading. One of my goals is

A coffee addicts worst nightmare is their yellow stained smile. I always hated to smile for pictures so I avoided pictures as much as I could. If by chance I did take photos I made sure to do so from far away. Anything so nobody would notice my not so pretty white smile. I was already embarrassed enough from a bike accident I had that chipped my tooth and damaged my two front teeth causing an unwanted gap. Add the stain to them and I just wanted to hide it

It’s such a different world of hiking when you are a mom, especially hiking with babies. My first hike with my baby was in Hawaii and it was definitely a learning hike. After a hike up to Manoa Falls with my friends and all of our little ones, I quickly learned that I wasn’t prepared at all for this hike. The baby carrier I had was causing me unbarable back pain, we ran out of water, and potty breaks with my toddler and a baby on my back was interesting

Many of you know that this year I decided to do homeschool with both of my girls. Though it’s been a trying and learning experience I have learned to find different sources online to make this journey possible. One company however has really made my homeschooling experience much easier. Education.com has supplied me with many activities, workbooks, and various learning sources to complete my homeschooling curriculum.

I understand how intimidating it can be to write about yourself. Whether I am writing my “About Me” page for the first time or for the 10th time, I always seem to draw a blank. I have constantly changed it over and over again cause I wasn’t sure if it truly described who I am as a blogger and a person. The first time I wrote my “About Me” page I had no clue as to what I was doing. I just dove in, wrote something, and published it. It

This fun-filled Autumn trip was inspired by a trip I took back in May with my dad to South Cumberland State Park. My mom saw all of the pictures and all the fun we had that she wanted to do a mother daughter getaway too. Off we went to plan and due to a loss in the family, dog emergency, and a few other setbacks we finally were able to make our way to Shawnee National Forest in Illinois for the weekend.

“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.” By: John Muir. Usually when we go to the forest, the mountains, or anywhere outdoors we go to disconnect from the world and connect with ourselves or those we are exploring with. By disconnecting we are also making ourselves vulnerable to risks in a potential emergency situation. GoTenna has created a mesh networking device called GoTenna Mesh that allows you to explore and wander through the world worry free keeping you connected with those you are

Hi there! Can you believe that 2018 is almost over? It feels like we were just saying hello to 2018 and now we are about to start a new year. Well we all know that with a new year we have new goals, new mindsets, and more knowledge. You probably want to be more organized on your day to day or even week to week life or business. For me this means staying on top of my blog and my shop better then what I did the year before. Now

When I first started blogging I made a lot of mistakes. One of them was writing blog posts and sharing them once on Facebook and playing the waiting game. I wasn’t getting much feedback or even views and quickly came to learn that I had a lot more work to do to get this blog moving. Blogging is not easy and you are not going to see a lot of progress if you don’t put some time into promoting your website and getting your content out there. This is why
