Celebrate Every Day
Why Blog for Good? I am crazy loyal to companies who do good. All things being equal I will always do business with a company that stands for something beyond profits. How about you? Recently I learned that Hefty trash bags support Box Tops for Education. Hefty is the only trash bag that supports Box Tops for Education and when… Read More
This post contains affiliate links. Just the other day I was ruminating about blogging’s place in the world and mentioned that a new blog is created every second of every day…The truth of the matter is that some blogs end as quickly as they begin, BUT for those that stay connected? There is influence. Real influence. Every day bloggers are… Read More
A new blog is created every second of every day. Now I am no mathematician, but even with my rudimentary skills I can tell you that’s a heck of a lot of sites. At the same time, prominent bloggers like Young House Love and mom blog royalty, Dooce, are are leaving the industry. It’s no surprise one of the most common questions… Read More
Every once in a while an account shutdown occurs that sends ripples throughout the online community. You’ve probably heard horror stories – a Blogger site is deleted, a Facebook Page disappears, an AdSense account is closed with no warning. The truly scary thing is, these corporations are so large there is often a “zero tolerance” policy in place and gleaning… Read More
This post contains affiliate links. The Amazon Associate Program was the very first tool I used to monetize my blog. I am glad I started early. I’ve had years to populate my site with affiliate links. Some of those links didn’t necessarily convert well early on, but as my blog has grown and as older posts have gone viral those… Read More
Being a blogger is hard work…I mean, who else has to face the judgement of neighbors shaking their head over “Funkins” on the porch in August and a Christmas tree deliveries in early October. Seriously. It’s rough. Fortunately a blogging break is right around the corner. Wait. What?! You haven’t scheduled a blog break in December? Well, the good news… Read More
About a year ago, I was locked out of my Facebook account. I couldn’t log in to loose time scrolling through the hundreds of posts shared by friends and co-workers. I couldn’t schedule sponsored posts. In fact, my entire page disappeared for a day. It was likely more awful than you can imagine. The horror was caused by a hacker,… Read More
I have a hand in managing more than 10 Instagram accounts. Yeah…It can get a bit hectic. One of the most difficult things about managing so many accounts is the time it takes to sign in and out so that I can leave comments and/or respond with the right handle. Fortunately, there’s an app for that. Let me tell you… Read More
I started blogging in 2007. Over the last eight years, I’ve amassed a ridiculous number of photos. I am constantly snapping quick pics on my iPhone, shooting images for a blog post and, more recently, I’ve added a pretty hefty catalog of videos saved from my daily chats on Periscope. The problem? Photos everywhere – they were saved on my computer,… Read More
Oh man. Before I dive into why you should attend a conference, let’s address the elephant in the room here…I own Snap – a conference for craft and DIY bloggers and creative entrepreneurs. In fact tickets for our 2016 event go on sale in two and a half weeks! Wowzers. You might wonder how I can reasonably address this topic… Read More
While I believe real-time posting on Instagram is best, I couldn’t make it through the week without the help of a scheduling tool. Scheduling posts ensures that I never “miss” an important deadline or post due to internet access and activity. It keeps me active and it forces me to be more deliberate about what I post. I currently schedule… Read More

Hi! I’m Holly from Paisley Petal Events and I’m excited to share my one little word for 2015. I’ll be honest and let you know that I’ve never had a word for the year like many others have, mostly because I’m not very good at making resolutions and actually sticking with them and I wasn’t sure choosing a word would… Read More
