I've been a mother for 12 years and I've almost always felt like I was barely hanging on. I'd forget appointments, rush to throw something together for dinner, and then spend hours on housework wondering the whole time if I was ever going to get the hang of this job as a homemaker.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt6RIi9-QwuLRSgmh6BIGqryNd9jEU6iGwZ6sQDJpACpeKRg2J3b5BHUqTCWK3AfJMkPVjA-DMQbI6VCm0EOkaYj47lahDm6-TUKWuYwl0hC5PqKtP5UdGbgNkFXEypCMSlhw9MRTsgAA/s1600/meme-wixom-laugh-dream-1324285-gallery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #747474; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt6RIi9-QwuLRSgmh6BIGqryNd9jEU6iGwZ6sQDJpACpeKRg2J3b5BHUqTCWK3AfJMkPVjA-DMQbI6VCm0EOkaYj47lahDm6-TUKWuYwl0hC5PqKtP5UdGbgNkFXEypCMSlhw9MRTsgAA/s320/meme-wixom-laugh-dream-1324285-gallery.jpg" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 1px solid rgb(232, 232, 232); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="319" /></a></div>
<div>
Eventually, I learned to keep a paper planner (the digital ones just didn't work for me). My paper planner helped me remember appointments and PLAN for the week ahead. This made such a difference in my productivity but also helped me to feel prepared and to avoid the worry that I've forgotten something.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
About a year after using and loving my paper planner I came across an advertisement for </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://powerofmoms.com/" style="color: #747474; text-decoration: none;">POWER OF MOMS</a>.com</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I immediately found help and hope for so many areas of my life that seemed to be difficult to control. I read a few blog posts and listened to almost all of their podcasts. I was finding the content of the website to be relatable to my experiences as a mom, wife and homemaker. I found that I could trust the advice and ideas that were offered on the site. The whole site is rich in free content that pulls at your heart, opens your mind and inspires your daily life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In time I found a product they offered that I knew I had to try out. After weeks of learning and doing this program I can honestly say that it has changed the way I do things dramatically! I love it so much I want to share it with you!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is called <a href="https://hm156.infusionsoft.com/app/storeFront/showProductDetail?productId=1" style="color: #747474; text-decoration: none;">MIND ORGANIZATION FOR MOMS eCourse</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In a nutshell, this program helps you organize your calendar, papers, projects, goals and all the difficult to manage aspects of daily life. It offers concrete steps to help you clear your mind of the tasks of life so that you can focus.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first thing I did after reading my first assignment was to clean out my emails. It sounds stressful, but really was so easy and more rewarding than I would have guessed. It feels great to keep up on emails now and after months of using the program I have not slipped back into letting my emails stack up as they had before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is so much more to the program that I could go on and on. There are videos, charts, and assignments that move you forward. You have to try it out! And now for the giveaway!</div>

<br />
No matter your blog topic most bloggers want to know, what do other bloggers make on their blogs.<br />
It seems that the revenue of each blog can vary so greatly that there is no easy answer. I've gathered information that will give you a good idea of what it takes to bring in money to your blog. And then let's carry on the conversation in the comments.<br />
<br />
Let's start with <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/larissafaw/2012/04/25/is-blogging-really-a-way-for-women-to-earn-a-living-2/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Forbes.com's</a> numbers. Did you know that as of 2012 there were 18.9 million women bloggers and 16 million men bloggers? Forbes goes on to tell us that of those staggering numbers the bottom 20% of women bloggers earn no income on their blogs while the top 10% of women bloggers can earn over $100,000 yearly.<br />
<br />
Forbes suggests that the middle 70% of women bloggers receive some, if not all of their earnings from free products or services:<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 25px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 25px;">"Brands generally review a woman’s blog and check to see if she is active on Twitter, but they don’t require millions, or even thousands, of visitors. In fact, brand executives and women bloggers say the going rate for a $300 kitchen product is 500 monthly views; an all-expense trip to Hawaii requires at least 20,000 monthly views."</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://amylynnandrews.com/how-much-do-real-bloggers-actually-make/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amy Lynn Andrews</a> asks on her blog for comments to be left about how long bloggers have been blogging, how many page views they have, and how much money they make each month on their blog. It's also interesting to read in those comments about how they bring in money to their blog.<br />
<br />
Amy says she spends 4-6 hours a day on her blog, reaches 13,149 pageviews monthly and earns $500 a month.<br />
<br />
On Amy's blog along with the other sites's I've read, blogging for money is a long term commitment. If you need money to pay the rent this month then starting a blog is not the way to go. Your blog could take months to bring in the traffic needed to bring in a modest income. It will take maintenance and effort to keep that traffic coming in over the years.<br />
<br />
According to the chart above <a href="http://www.velocitydigital.co.uk/blogging-stats-2013-infographic/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">found here</a>, only 14% of bloggers bring in a salary through blogging. And the average income is $24,086.<br />
<br />
These numbers suggest that many blogs either do not attempt to bring in revenue or they simply cannot bring in much. What has been your experience with blogging? I would love to continue the conversation in the comment section below. I'll leave the first comment!<div class="blogger-post-footer">happy blogging!

I am so excited to host a <span style="font-size: large;">Shabby Apple $50 gift card Giveaway</span> (now we know this blog has arrived) <br />
<br />
I imagine that most readers have been to <a href="http://www.shabbyapple.com/" target="_blank">Shabby Apple </a>before and seen the well-fitted stylish dresses that they have there, but did you know they have SWIMSUITS and MATERNITY and kids, fitness, arts and crafts, jewelry...<br />
I was surprised to see how many things they've added to their store! You will have no problem finding things that you want. <br />
<br />

Brent had been laid off work and spent 2 years searching for work. During this time Brent managed to make time to volunteer at the Huntsman Cancer Institute long before he ever was diagnosed with cancer himself. Also during this time, Brent’s older brother Jim was diagnosed with cancer and Brent was able to spend time with Jim as he received his treatments at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. </span><br />

My dear sweet wife & my younger brother. My brother has been a volunteer at Huntsman Cancer Institute for several years. Over the past year or thereabouts, he has volunteered each Friday afternoon in the Infusion room (where patients receive chemotherapy injections). He wanted me to have my treatment on Friday, so that he could be there with me, but I said if it was on Friday, he would only be able to spend brief moments with me as he would need to tend to the needs of others there. But by having it on Thursday, he can sit with me & provide undivided time and attention to me without any guilt of depriving others. He now sees it is best”<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />

And whenever I asked for something, he immediately took care of me! I even got him to rub my back, because my back was bothering me. Later I asked him to remove my shoes. He got up, went across the room & returned with surgical gloves on to remove them. WHAT A BUM! Brent, THANKS can't express the appreciation for your long hours there solely for me!

His dedication is an inspiration. He once noted to another volunteer that although others found the Infusion room to be a depressing place, he found it to be a place of hope and courage and faith.

You will find some valuable resources that you can turn to - you are already on the right track reading I Love The Way She Blogs. I came across it during one of my Google-terrogations. (Awesome new word, I know.) My blog (www.meanmommyacademy.blogspot.com) wouldn’t be where it is today if people like Lilly didn’t write amazingly insightful blogs, taking the time to teach the rest of us how to make our own blogs better. Kudos to them! *Dashes to the gold sticker file and starts handing out gold stars* I am so grateful to people who volunteer their ‘secrets’. (And I’m grateful for the technology we have to simply sit down at a big grey box, type in some letters and have any question in the world answered in mere seconds.)</span></div><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

<br />
Blogger will be changing their POST EDITOR and the DASHBOARD, among other things. I'm sure we will all benefit from the changes, but as we saw with the last change to POST EDITOR, there may also be some delays and set backs. All in all, it's good to move forward, and Blogger is in need of renovation!<div class="blogger-post-footer">happy blogging!

From the art on the walls to the clothes on the floor, everything says something about the people living there. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There is a reason why we "spring clean" our homes. Things build up and pile up almost on their own and spring is a great time to sort through it all.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Have you ever thought about what the design of your blog says about you? People sometimes click onto a blog and then off again before they could even read a word. Why? Usually because the look of the blog tells them what they are going to get. I personally have clicked off of many blogs that simply looked too immature, assuming that they didn't have any content worth my time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So let me challenge you to "spring clean" your blog! Take off those old buttons. Put up some news posts, and by golly change some colors.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Monica at Little Looster and asked to do a review of her product the Little Looster Potty Stool.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Truthfully, I was hesitant to consent because I do not currently have a POBOX and we all know that it is unsafe to give out your home address. After doing some research I found it to be a legit company and was excited to contact her to start the review.</div><br />
Monica is a mother and I love her story about how this product came about:<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><em>"My husband, Phil was tired of hearing me complain about having 3 stools under our toilet in order to give our little ones any sense of comfort or confidence. I dreamed of my "wrap-around" ultimate stool often. Finally one day, Phil, sat me down in our living room with cardboard, tape and an exacto-knife and basically told me to put my money where my mouth was."</em><br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwAcF0hkeihUX0UMc9fg2GwfGQvalcgg7sJxEysKuPPzgBFZ-7JJKtTz6z2DFVpXVBMucUNCtRSap89BKofdChaG-FViR_xfEnUsrBthT-EN_Y9rncaWFTrZUZgee7PbtOGjASWtNZ-bc/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwAcF0hkeihUX0UMc9fg2GwfGQvalcgg7sJxEysKuPPzgBFZ-7JJKtTz6z2DFVpXVBMucUNCtRSap89BKofdChaG-FViR_xfEnUsrBthT-EN_Y9rncaWFTrZUZgee7PbtOGjASWtNZ-bc/s320/003.JPG" width="320" /></a>How great that she had her husbands support! She is already a success if she has that kind of love and support :)</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><br />
The product came quickly and professionally packaged. I took a picture of my 4 yr old and 2 yr old using it. (But it really is just for one child at a time. lol) I love that it can stay by the toilet and doesn't need to be moved around. I love the rubber on the bottom that keeps the stool from sliding. And I love how easy it is to wipe clean. It is a hefty solid stool and has worked so nicely in our bathroom.<br />
<br />
If you have a small child I would highly recommend you purchase this stool. It is much more useful than those small potties that need to be cleaned out!!<br />
