To check out my other "How Do I?" posts go here.
I started blogging a few years ago as a way to document our growing family and my business. I probably started my blog more for marketing purposes, thinking I could reach an entirely different audience, but it quickly grew into more family posts, and random tid bits of things that I love!
Blogging quickly grew into such a fun hobby and I love that I can document our girls lives! But, it can be overwhelming, especially if I try to venture away from blogging just about hair bows and family!
When planning a series of posts, such as this one, I really have to think ahead and brain storm what all these posts will entail and how to keep y'all interested and provide meaningful information, and let me tell you, i'm glad I don't try to do these every single day!
My "Teaching Tots" series was so much fun when G was younger and I planned a slew full of educational activities and themes to keep us busy! Now, those posts are few and far between as life has been filled with two (almost three) kids! And now, pinterest provides us all with fun activities and fresh ideas whenever we may need them!
"All About Birthdays" was started when I was planning one of Gretchen's birthdays one year! I still love party planning, but I typically only post in that subject matter in January or May, when i'm busy planning one of my own little honey pie's parties! I encourage you to click on the blog buttons on the right side of the page, because there are tons of birthday party ideas, and many that I haven't even used! Of course, pinterest and Etsy provide easy ways to plan your own child's parties!
So, how do I find time to blog? When I'm working, I typically blog during my lunch break. I rarely ventured down to the teacher's lounge this year, because I was at so many schools, so blogging gave me a way to get a break from work! I also blog on Sunday evenings after the girls are in bed.
I really have to stay on top of my picture taking! Thank the good Lord for the iphone and it's capability to take pictures, edit them, and upload them! I think the majority of my pictures are iphone pictures, because it's the only camera that is ALWAYS with me!
If I have tons and tons of pictures from one weekend, like Easter, then I break those posts into several days! I have a really hard time narrowing down which pictures to share!
I love that Pinterest has made blogging easier to upload your posts over- just click on the Pinterest icon on top of a photo, and you can easily pin any of my posts!
Google Reader is going by the way side, make sure you follow my blog via Bloglovin (that icon is on the right side of the page too)! Thanks to Bloglovin, my posts are automatically shared with my facebook page and my twitter feed!
I also love the scheduled posts feature, because I can sit down one evening and schedule an entire weeks worth of posts and then not have to think about it later in the week!
I think since the end of April almost every single post has been a scheduled post!
I don't try to blog for money or giveaways or free things. I blog for me, and I blog about what I love! I don't have a running theme, but I blog about what interests me at the time! I'm pretty hodge podge in my real life, so why shouldn't I be on my blog too?!
What are your tips for staying up to date with your blog posts? Make sure to leave me a comment, and i'll follow your blog if i'm not already!
