Welcome to the It’s A Blogger’s Life interview series.
As you may have seen, I posted a list of some of my favourite blogs at the start of the month, and what it is I love about them. Check it out here, you will definitely find some amazing new blogs to follow if you missed it first time around. I asked some of the amazing bloggers if they would be willing to take part in this series and introduce themselves to you and share a little of their blogging wisdom.
I was so happy at the responses I got to my request – it really does go to show the strength of the blogging community and how bloggers help each other out.
Thank you to everyone who responded, and thanks to each and every one of you on that list for consistently publishing beautiful and inspiring posts that keep me coming back for more.
Anyway, enough from me, over to the interview.
Today we have Trista from Domesticated Momster
I am a full time stay at home mommy of 5 kids (although one has officially moved out). The 4 that remain are 15(boy), 5(boy), 4(girl), 3(girl).
lately.
Being a stay at home mom is hard on the social life as it is. Add that to moving across an entire state and leaving behind everyone you had built friendships with and then now living in a small town of introverted people and
it becomes extremely lonely.
kids.
I like to blog about most anything. But mostly it’s about the sarcastic side of motherhood.
all rolled into one sticky little package sealed with spit. My kids are my everything. Including all my new grey hair.
4. What are the long term goals for your blog?
I believe I will never truly give up blogging. I just love it too much. Of course I would like to make money doing it. Those who say they wouldn’t are full of it. I mean who wouldn’t like to make a financial income while being in the comforts of home?
I have two years to make this happen or it’s back into the beauty industry I go. My youngest will be start school in two years and I always said I would go back to work then.
5. Any tips for bloggers?
I can’t stress enough to always love your fellow blogger. If they ask for help…help them. We were all in a beginners stage at one time.
If someone’s blog seems more successful than yours it’s no reason to be spiteful or rude. Maybe if you are nice they might just throw you a bone.
Blogging is a whole world of interesting people. Find a group that you like talking to and build a relationship.
6. Describe yourself in 3 words
Loyal, Honest, Mommy
7. What are your top 3 blogging essentials?
I use the text edit program on my Mac. It makes little post it type notes and I keep everything on those notes. Blogs I like to link up to. Shortcuts to blog posts that I use a lot, lists of contacts, etc.
I also love my Photoshop program. I love doing graphic design and photography. I try to make most of the media in my blog posts.
My phone. It goes everywhere with me and I use it whenever I am not able to be on the computer.
8. What would be your dream blogging assignment and why?
To write for a company where my work would actually be seen by a lot of people.
9. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose and why?
In the mountains and right next to a lake. I love the outdoors and I love water.
10. Where can we find you?
Domesticated Momster blog, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, and Instagram.
