Scheduling Me Time While Living the Blogging Life

· Leave a Comment

As a busy mom blogger, scheduling me time is put on the backburner. I am on the computer everyday. The time I am online varies, but it is never less than 8 hours a day unless I’m traveling.

Blogging life

Even when I’m traveling, I don’t get a lot of time to myself. The traveling that I do is almost always blog related which means I’m busy busy busy! I do love it, but when people are jealous of my “vacations” I remind them that I’m working too!

How about those product reviews? Yes, I get things for review frequently. I try to only say yes to things I really need, but I also love to bless others with products I receive. That means I am working for free for those items since I’m giving them away. The items I keep aren’t technically free either since I’m working on reviewing them after I receive them.

It drives me crazy when people don’t think blogging is a real job! We work very hard, long hours. The bulk of my day is spent on social media promoting my posts as well as my fellow bloggers’ posts. We’ve got … Read more...

See The Dinner Detective Murder Mystery Dinner Show

· 2 Comments

Disclosure: I received 2 tickets to The Dinner Detective to facilitate a review. All opinions are my own.

The Dinner Detective

I know what you’re thinking. Murder mystery? Dinner theater? Cheesy. Nope, not this one! There are no costumes, and there is a lot of audience interaction. The actors are eating dinner with you! You will only know who the detectives are during the show….and the murder victim.

My friend Shannon and I attended The Dinner Detective Murder Mystery Show at the Hilton Garden Inn in Cleveland, Ohio. When you arrive, you’ll be given a table number and a name tag. You’ll give yourself an alias, so, of course, I picked Sydney Bristow….whom apparently only one of the hosts knew! Come on! ALIAS! It was the best show. Oh well. Shannon was Veronica Mars.

A four course meal awaits you as the story unfolds around you. Don’t worry. Your hosts will explain things to you before the detectives come out for interrogation. You’ll be given questions to ask your fellow diners, if you want, so you can get some clues as to who the killer might be. Of course, you’re supposed to lie! Now the actual actors might give you … Read more...
