Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award

Mattie from Northwest Native nominated me
 and I couldn't be more excited.




I'm not very good with Q& A's but here goes.


Why did you start blogging?
I wanted a creative outlet and a place to talk about my adventures 
with my twin sister. My friend encouraged me to start one. She thought it would be something I would really enjoy and she was so right.

How do you think blogging has changed your life?
I have learned so much through blogging and I'm so very
grateful for that. I love learning other people's thoughts and opinions.
Plus, I love hearing about things I may not of heard of. 
Seriously, I have learned of so many great things and products from blogging.

Has blogging created friendships for you?
Yes and it is one of the best parts of blogging.
The blogging world is a special place.

What is your number one tip for blogging?

Be Authentic. Write for yourself, no one else.
 No one likes fakes. Life is hard enough
and I try to keep things on the positive side here.
No one wants to read about debbie downer.
Being positive is key to being happy.

What is your favorite kind of blog post to write and read?
I love writing about the adventures I go on with my twin.
We always have so much fun and we are always doing something.

Is it hard to keep up with blogging and your regular every day life?
It isn't easy since I work two jobs but I find keeping to a schedule helps.
I keep a running list of blog ideas at all times and I draft a month of ideas in advance.
Blogging is something I love to do so I make the time for it.

Have you met any bloggers you met through here?
I have met the lovely Biana, Alison, Kate, and Jess.
I probably have met a few more am having an old moment and cannot 
remember them. I apologize. 
One day I hope to meet my shopping partner in crime, Amanda.

How much time do you spend blogging?
More than a few hours a week, I don't really keep track.
Sometimes, the writing just comes to me, other times I struggle with it.
I'm very grateful for my twin sister, who always helps me.
She also proofs all my posts before they go live. 
She is a great editor.

  8. I love reading these type of posts. I started blogging as a creative outlet too; my office job is pretty technical, so it's nice to mix it up.

  21. The blogging world is definitely a very special place. I have to point out one thing. I 100% agree that the blogs I'm drawn to are people that are AUTHENTIC. But, I don't mind a "debbie downer" post. It feels all the more authentic to me, especially if someone suffers from depression, because sometimes it is a learning tool as well.
    I think that's awesome that you've met so many other bloggers!

  22. You've been able to meet so many other bloggers! That's awesome. I totally agree being authentic and not constantly a Debbie Downer (while still being real) is so important!
