    How People Found My Blog in 2018

    December 26, 2018 /

    Every year-ish, I try to create a blog post centered around the year we are leaving as it pertained to my blog. But posts like that have always felt a little hollow to me. I mean, I could talk about my blog all the damn day ( I write a blog, remember??), but I feel like that kind of post is boring for you. Especially if you haven’t been reading that long. Because let’s be honest, do you really care what my most popular posts are? Where my readers are coming from? How many pageviews I had last year alone? So in typical A Grace Full Life fashion, I stumbled…

    Bloggers Who Need to Blog Again

    October 22, 2018 /

    Why is it the ones who blog every week (or sometimes three times per week) aren’t the ones you really want to blog in the first place? I used to have a huge circle of blogging friends four years ago. Let me clarify that: I used to have a huge circle of blogging friends who actually blogged, four years ago; we’re all pretty much still friends. Four years ago, I would get together with these blogging friends routinely and not just for events that we were paid to attend either. Meeting for lunches, dinners, drinks and appetizers, parties within each other’s homes, paid events in the city (they paid us?…

    My Top Seven Blog Names if I Was to Ever Start Another Blog

    August 27, 2018 /

    I’m not starting another blog because I can barely come up with enough interesting content for the ONE I already have. But over the past eight years, I have in passing mentioned THAT WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT BLOG NAME or IF I EVER START A NICHE BLOG (blog with one particular topic) I WOULD USE THE HELL OUT OF THAT NAME. I am not a niche person though, which is why I can’t create a niche blog. My thoughts are all over the place constantly. Like a hamster on speed. via GIPHY Speaking of hamsters, meet the newest member of our family, Nibbles. I didn’t think I could love a rodent but…

    Parts of My Blog You Never Knew Existed

    July 16, 2018 /

    I was going to write an entire post dedicated to Amazon Prime Day but then I was like, yeah, I don’t wanna. I mean, I love Amazon and I do love how fast shit shows up at my door (especially items like panty liners, toilet paper, and hair coloring), but an entire post dedicated to Prime just left me a little empty inside. So I decided to do what I do best when I put off things I really should do: write about absolutely nothing of importance. If you do want to get an Amazon Prime membership, click here and I get very minimal money, but enough to purchase one package of…

    I Will Create a Vision Board, Dammit

    March 19, 2018 /

    Last spring, I was a better version of myself. I read a book about being a badass, then I felt like I actually was a badass because of said badass book. I wrote about being evolved. Well, more evolved than I had ever been before. Which isn’t saying much but in this evolution, I was going to create a vision board. Don’t know what a vision board is? You aren’t alone. There are vision board tutorials all over Pinterest just waiting to get their hands on you. I for one had no idea what it was until a couple of years ago when I was at a blogging event in Chicago…

    The Amateur Photography Tools that Make Me Look Like a Professional

    February 18, 2018 /

    I hate that I just said I look like a professional photographer. It made me throw up in my mouth a little. But since realizing I love photography, I have learned that you can be a semi-professional photographer without having to spend big bucks, waste lots of time and learn tools that are hard. PHOTOSHOP IS HARD. If you are trying to learn, you really need to take a course. I read a very angry retort on Pinterest a few months ago in relation to a funny meme (written most likely by a “photographer”), that just because you have a DSLR (digital single-lens reflex camera) and a Pic Monkey app,…

    Creating Idiotic Canva and Pic Monkey Graphics Is Why I’ll Never Get a Million Followers

    February 12, 2018 /

    So here I am writing a ton of posts and articles for my other job on a lazy Saturday afternoon when all of a sudden I got the stupidest brainstorm known to man. Backstory- I was creating graphics for my blog (the shit on Pinterest that according to SITS catches your eye and gets you to click) on Canva (a site with a shit ton of graphics) when I see just nonsensical situations played out within the graphics. Like: And I was all “I COULD CREATE THE BEST (and by best I mean worst) GRAPHICS WITH TERRIBLE (and by terrible I mean magnificent) WORDS ON THEM”. Friends, I have a…

    My FAQ Post Means I Never Get Asked Anything Frequently

    January 22, 2018 /

    I recently read an article that a good blogger should always create an FAQ post on their blog, which is silly because how do they know what “good bloggers” need for their blog? I bet the author of the article isn’t even a blogger but someone with a deadline, who gets paid by the word, and a feisty editor breathing down their back. Yet, it got me to thinking (fine job well-paid writer, FINE JOB), maybe I do need an FAQ on my blog. FAQ is short for Frequently Asked Questions for those who don’t know. You know, questions you get asked regularly about the blog, about blogging or even…

These are the reasons I did NOT want to create one: -it is wise -it helps show companies what you stand for -it creates a put-together look for the blog   These are the reasons I DID want to create one: -it would be cool -I want to know what a mission statement really is, so another fun thing to Google -I have no idea what the purpose of my blog is   At the end of it, that last…

    Looking Back at Our Year 2017

    December 26, 2017 /

    I say “our” because you are a massive part of this adventure I have been on since June of 2010 and as they say, “there is no I in team”. I haven’t written a recap post since 2013. Four solid years since I bid adieu to my blogging year of the past and welcomed in the new. There are probably a few reasons why. I am not always good at planning ahead. I feel like this sort of post is really boring for you.  Who really wants to see my stats other than, well, me? I feel like it comes off as bragging. LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!! LOOOOOOOKKKK…
