Be Right Back

Since arriving in Arizona last week, we have quickly settled into a routine of homeschooling, pool time, enjoying the outdoors, and most importantly, reconnecting with friends. And while I have all kinds of ideas swirling around in my brain about the future of this blog, I’m realizing it’s going to take a lot of behind-the-scenes work to get there. So I’m going to say goodbye for now. Not forever, but…

How to get your Instagram photos to automatically show up on Twitter

A few years ago, Twitter decided to stop showing Instagram photos directly in the feed. These days, when you share from Instagram, all you see is a description and a link. And because Twitter is becoming much more image-heavy (tweets with images get 18% more clicks, 89% more favorites, and 150% more retweets*), you want to be able to engage followers with actual photos instead of links. There is a…

More Love, Less Hustle

I’ve been blogging for four years now. In that time, this blog has changed quite a bit. I’ve gone through seasons when I have so much to share that I’m tempted to post twice a day. And other seasons when I’m ready to close the computer and never look back. People ask me all the time what my end goal is with all of this. Honestly, I still don’t know.…

How do we get past that awkward moment when social media life meets real life?

That moment when social media life meets real life.  Awkward or not? Last week, I had a reader confess that we go to the same church, but she hadn’t introduced herself because it felt a little weird, almost like she had been spying on me. As she stated, “In the world of technology it’s hard to know how to navigate appropriate social behavior.”  I didn’t blame her one bit.  That…

5 Stretches for Busy Bloggers (and anyone else who sits at a computer all day)

Hey there Busy Blogger, how does your body feel today? Tight? Sore? Stiff? Take a few minutes to run through this stretching routine, and I promise you’ll feel like a new person! From a kneeling position, bring left leg out front with foot flat on the ground. Push body forward through the hips, stretching that right hip flexor.

Taking a breath

For the past few weeks I’ve been wrapping things up, getting assignments in, clearing my calendar…all so I could get to today, June 1, and take a deep breath. Joe is out of school, I have a stack of books to read, I’m starting a photography course, and I’m excited to spend the first month of summer with nothing pressing on the calendar. I’m not completely unplugging, but will be…
