Why I Delete Pins and When You Shouldn’t

Why I Delete Pins and When You Shouldn't

Earlier this year, I got slammed with messages on Facebook about a blogger that said you need to be deleting your pins on Pinterest. People wanted my thoughts on deleting pins and I was tempted to write this post then, but instead answered everyone privately.  Recently this same blogger has posted some Pinterest tips that brought her post on deleting pins back up. Before you decide ...

Pinterest Tips & Tricks for Bloggers: Making Pinterest work for you

Pinterest isn't just my addiction; it's my job.  I manage Pinterest accounts for my own blogs and some amazing businesses.  When I first started using Pinterest for Midwest Modern Momma, I treated it the same as my personal account & pinned whatever whenever.  I quickly realized that wasn't very effective at helping people discover my boards.  Using the techniques below, I see about 10-15% ...

Pinterest Etiquette for Bloggers: Do's & Don'ts for Using Group Boards

I manage Pinterest accounts for other bloggers as my main source of income. With every milestone each of my clients hit, a sense of accomplishment and ...

Becoming a Product Reviewer: Do Morals Matter in Reviewing?

If you are a new review blogger looking for free swag, you need to slow down & realize review blogging is work, hard work. Companies don't mail you out products for free. They are trading you a product for your review.  They expect you to try out their product, take pictures of it & how you use it, write a review that includes information about the product and your thoughts, and then ...

Becoming a Product Reviewer: Income Tax

I know so there are so many different theories about product reviews and taxes, so when I had the opportunity to chat with a tax adviser that has experience with our industry, I jumped on it.  Below is the relevant excerpt from our conversation.  For privacy's sake, his name has been changed to TaxMan :)  FMV stands for Fair Market Value and is the number the IRS wants to see. TaxMan : So your ...

My New Blogging Binder

In case you haven't noticed, I'm a freak for binders. I love organizational binders. There is just something about having a physical copy of everything I need to keep track of that makes me feel on top of it. I love being able to open a well laid out binder and flip right to what I need. No flipping back and forth between documents or windows on my computer. So, I was absolutely thrilled to hear ...

Instagram post 2190314447524119958_347852192 We decorated the tree, while on video call with my fiance. Since he won't be here until later this month, the kids had him direct them on where to put some of the ornament.  Then they went a bit hog wild finishing on their own.

I love how technology lets us connect even when we are 3800 miles apart!

Instagram post 2110378923194958566_347852192 He's on his way!  The kids and I are super excited!  Will be spending most of the day in the car to go pick him up from the MSP airport, but we will have 3 weeks before he flies back to Scotland!

This is one of the last pictures of us we took while I was there in June. It's been 7 weeks and 2 days since we said goodbye. Cannot wait until we close the gap permanently!

In the meantime, we will enjoy the 3 weeks we have as a family!

Instagram post 2108909218974288273_347852192 I've started getting up at 6 am for a quick workout every morning.  Overslept one day and energy level was way low all day. 
This is my motivation - I like making exercise (and health in general) a priority now, so I'm less likely to have issues later!

What motivates you? Whether it's to work out, get more organized, eat healthier - I wanna know what keeps you going every day!

This is one of my favorite quotes. Hugs and kisses are something I've grown to cherish even more as my oldest hits those early teen years. Having all boys makes it hard to compare, but I think boys "grow out" of hugging & kissing their parents earlier than girls.

Do you still hug & kiss your parents? Was there a time you were "too cool" to hug your parents goodbye/goodnight?
Instagram post 2103843921896658993_347852192 We are focusing on being conscious of the joy in the NOW.  There is always something to look forward to - oldest turns 14 and gets driver's permit/first job, fiance is coming to visit in 9 days, we start back to school next week, etc.

But it's important not to let the focus on the future take away from the joy in every moment. 
Do you live in the moment or are you looking to the future?  How do you balance the 2?
