50 Shades of Unashamed

Heather — Tue, 29 May 2012 20:09:50 +0000

Today, a friend I love dearly posted a link to an article that describes why the author (and many others) will not read Fifty Shades of Grey for religious reasons. I do consider myself a Christian, I did read the books, and I’m not ashamed to say so! For those who have been living under a [...]

How Many Page Views is Good?

Heather — Mon, 28 May 2012 14:00:25 +0000

One thing you’ll learn about me the longer we hang out together is that I love to watch the search results that bring people to my page. First of all, I think it’s a great way to get ideas for what’s working on the blog and what’s not, but it also gives me ideas for [...]

Alexa – The Mean Girl of Blogging

Heather — Sun, 27 May 2012 19:46:40 +0000

Remember back in high school when there was that one girl who always tried to make you feel like crap about yourself, but then as soon as she needed something, she was your best friend? Am I the only one who had one of those?? Anyway, that’s pretty much how I feel about Alexa, a [...]

Hot Cocoa Martini – My Bliss at Home

Heather — Sun, 27 May 2012 02:29:57 +0000

When I went to Blissdom in February, one of the evening parties was sponsored by ConAgra. As a result, one of our beverage options for the night was a hot cocoa martini. It sounded odd to me, I had a hard time taking the hot out of hot cocoa, but it was free and it [...]

Why Getting a Gym Membership is Key to My C25K

Heather — Sat, 26 May 2012 02:31:34 +0000

I’m still riding the high of getting started on C25K. My muscles are sore, but in that “good for you” kind of way. I was actually looking forward to getting out there and seeing if I could run through all of the intervals tonight without having to cheat, but Mother Nature has other plans for [...]

Mama Mack’s Iced Chai Latte

Heather — Sat, 26 May 2012 02:07:21 +0000

For most of my 34 years, there was no quicker way to turn me away from a drink than to tell me it had tea in it. I don’t know why, I just didn’t like any sort of tea. That was until I worked at a coffee shop and had a horrendous cold one winter. [...]

Picture Perfect Spring

Heather — Thu, 24 May 2012 17:51:31 +0000

It’s that time, once again, for me to brush up on my writing using prompts. This is something I actually love to do, and taking part in Mama Kat’s hop on Thursdays is a fun way to not only work on my own writing but also to visit other blogs. More on that later… Today, [...]

Does Your Blog Promote Page Views?

Heather — Thu, 24 May 2012 16:57:29 +0000

If you’re looking to monetize your blog, one question you will be asked by prospective advertisers is how many page views your site receives monthly. While it may seem like this is something you can’t control, there are tweaks you can make to your blog to promote people clicking from one page to the next. [...]

C25K Day One

Heather — Thu, 24 May 2012 13:00:21 +0000

I first heard of C25K a few years ago, after one of my kids was born. Some of the moms in my online mommy boards were talking about doing it and I thought about it. Of course, thinking about it is much easier than doing it, and taking the step to actually doing it was just [...]
