We’re about to head into our fourth month of becoming a homeschool family and I’ve been feeling a little discontent. I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for about five years now, right before we had our second baby. There’s a seven-year difference between our oldest and him. As a kid, I have homeschooled my entire childhood. […]
A couple of Christmases ago, I was frustrated at how unorganized my Christmas season had gotten and the idea of a Holiday planner was born. We had a brand new baby, our first grader had just started at a new school, and life was chaotic. WITH EVERYTHING WE HAD GOING ON, OUR BUDGET FOR CHRISTMAS […]
Wait a minute… Before we go any further… I think I need to barf. Have you ever done something SO outside of your comfort zone that you physically felt like you were having an out-of-body experience? That’s me, right now. I published my first YouTube video (for this blog) this morning and I literally want […]
Feeling unmotivated to work on your business? Now, that doesn’t sound like you! You LOVE what you do! It’s your passion. Your calling. The thing you were made for! If you’re anything like me, you’ve said those exact things to yourself. And continued to question why you are doing what you’re doing in the first […]
Is it possible to be content in life AND business? I’ve really been praying about the direction of Live Bold Mama. I believe that just because you are good at something, doesn’t mean that should be, or is your calling. This has been something I’ve been wrestling with for a while now – God, you’ve […]
Over the last few months, I have been actively searching for my purpose, my mom boss confidence, my calling. I have begged for a reason to walk away from this business and the feelings I have for continuing this journey of writing and building a legacy for our family. I’ve always loved writing. It’s always […]
Branding yourself is more than just a pretty color palette and an award-winning logo design. We get so caught up in what it means to “create a brand” that we spend countless hours designing and marketing things that will never give us a return on our investment. It is possible to brand yourself on social […]
Do you ever wish you had more self-confidence? In general, in motherhood, in wife life. I’ve been living a life of pretty much zero self-confidence and I’m kind of over it. I’ve gotten a taste of what it feels like to be a confident woman and I love it! Having a bit of self-confidence enhances […]
Longest. Month. Ever. School is finishing up, summer is so close I can smell it, and the day seems like it never ends! We spent our first “real” summer night out in the yard having a water fight with the kids this past weekend. It was GLORIOUS! I am LIVING for the days of no bedtimes and slow(er) mornings! I feel like I am working […]
There’s a new buzz word floating around in the atmosphere, have you heard of it? It’s gut health. There are SO many studies out there that are linking all sorts of issues we’ve been experiencing for years, to your gut! I admit, when I first heard about it, I rolled my eyes. Another fad. Another […]
Have you ever just read a really great book? You know, one you start reading and just can’t put down? One that has you turning every page with anticipation and excitement? One that truly makes you a better person? I recently finished a book like that and I haven’t been able to stop telling my […]
Starting a lifestyle blog can be SUPER scary, especially if you’re one who stays closed off from the outside world. Sharing your life, what you’ve learned, mistakes you’ve made, literally putting yourself on blast is intimidating. As a four-year blogging veteran (hahaha … for real though … never thought I’d be saying that!), I’ve learned […]
You’re ready to start an email list but have no clue how to get your audience to hand over their email? Well… You’ve come to the right place! When you decide to start an email list (which, by the way, should be a part of your startup blogging plan, not an afterthought), the two biggest […]
Okay, I’m not going to pretend like I have the answer to the question how to be bold, but I think I have a good idea of how I’m going to personally live out the word, BOLD, in 2019. Maybe if I share my focus, then you’ll grab some good nuggets for yourself too.
