3 Types of Negative Comments & How to Deal With Them

Okay, so if you are friends with me on Facebook then you know that today I received a negative comment on Reddit.
This lead me to try to figure out how best to respond to negative comments. In this post, after I get my little vent out, I am going to let you know what I found in my research (really just talking to other bloggers and friends) and my own thoughts on the issue.

How Pinterest Can Benefit Your Blog

So…Pinterest!

Some of you guys probably read my silly Pinterest Post…some of you did not. If you did…I may need to apologize..it was meant to be silly and I hope people got a good laugh with it. Oh well, it made me laugh writing it.
Due to a few friends mentioning that they just “didn’t get Pinterest” or “didn’t understand how it could help their blog”, I decided to do a quick How to on it!

I’m a Pinterest WHORE!

Pinterest:

According to wikipedia , “Pinterest is a pinboard-style photo-sharing website that allows users to create and manage theme-based image collections. Users can browse other pinboards for images, “re-pin” images to their own pinboards, or “like” photos.”

Pinterest was created by a group of three people, Ben Silbermann, Paul Sciarra, and Evan Sharp. I have, until this point, considered them my “pimps” or “drug dealers”. I suppose Cold Brew Labs, who manages it, probably should be included in there somewhere! They play just as big a part as the others in my new found profession and addiction.

Please note: this post is meant AS A JOKE! If you don’t have a sense of humor…DO NOT continue reading!

If you are reading this then you clearly have a love of Pinterest! Be sure to check out and join the Pinterest blog hop! Continue reading “I’m a Pinterest WHORE!”

Roselyn Scentsy Warmer PREMIUM Giveaway

Winner will be chosen on my birthday!! Be sure to enter DAILY!

a Rafflecopter giveaway
Why should I use Scentsy you may be wondering? Well here is a review from someone who does!
Margaret Buckelew of  www.facebook.com/pinetreehillwildlife says:

I do sell it, and it may not be very fair for me to review it, but the truth is the only reason I sell it is no one here sold Scentsy when it first came out so I became a consultant for 2 reasons.
1. I loved Scentsy and 2. I figured my sales could go straight to my wildlife rehab.
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT HER ANIMAL REHAB AND DONATE IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY! THE WORK SHE DOES IS SIMPLY PRICELESS!
I was given Scentsy as a gift. It was love at first sight. My son had asthma and we could not burn candles. Scentsy was awesome. No flame. No chemicals released into the air and NO SOOT! Plus Scentsy is super safe. I have spilled the wax before and it cools in seconds. There’s virtually no fire hazard. Scentsy is as safe to have on 24/7 as a night light.
Because Scentsy uses top of the line oils the scent lasts for days. Traditional wicked candles only have the scented oil on top where the wick is and then coated down the sides. This is why candles tend to loose their smell after a few times lighting them.
For me, Scentsy is a win-win. It’s healthier, safer, lasts longer and helps to earn money for my wildlife rescue!

Top Laughs #3

This week has been full of fun and tears! Annaliese has hit that 4 month old stage where she cries almost non-stop and nothing I do seems to help. My mom had someone close to her pass away. Yet still there were laughs…so I suppose it’s time to share a few!

Saturday means that it is time yet again for me to link up with Melissa over at The Mommyhood Chronicles for my second Saturday full of laughs! Come join in on all the fun!

Muffins with Mommy

We are a bunch of muffin lovers! 

No, seriously! Everyone in my house absolutely adores muffins! I totally need to learn how to make them from scratch or something!
