There’s this little blog hop going around called A Tour through Blogland where you answer a few questions about your blog and then tag a couple of other bloggers. I know that I’m on the tail end of this since most of my bloggy friends have already posted their responses.

My fabulous friend and Creative Style co-host, Tenns from New Mama Diaries tagged me for this once. Thanks Tenns!

What are you working on?

So, so many things! I’ve been really working on growing my blog. I regularly run two linkups here: Creative Style and Turn it Up Tuesday which are both growing steadily!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I contributed to a little book called Clash of the Couples that will be published, actually published in November! It’s from the people who brought you The Mother of All Meltdowns, which had me cracking up! I’m so excited, it is one of my dreams to be published. I wish it was my own, but there’s still time.

I’ve written a 30 Day Fitness Devotional, and now going to expand that into a 365 Day Devotional with 12 different themes.

I’m volunteering more at church, through a non-profit organization National Coalition of 100 Black Women, and the Women’s Foundation.

I actually applied for real jobs this week ~ just to see where I stand, see what’s out there for me. Raising two little girls at home is fun, but money is tight, and I am taking Financial Peace University again and I have that fire of Gazelle Intensity. I’m ready to be financially free, not just getting by. I can make real money, I think… I guess I’ll see.

Why do you write/create what you do?

I started this blog because I wanted to share the Beachbody opportunity. I used P90X and Insanity and lost 40 pounds in 4 months. I felt great! I jumped up, got on my computer and started this little project.

Then, I got bored of sticking to health all the time. I’m not only about health. I’m not even someone you’d classify as a health nut. I’m more like a health enjoyer. I like passing along the good things that I find like Personal Trainer Food, my current promotion, and share them with my readers.

I like finding things that I find intriguing or interesting or just something on my mind because I find that very few people around me understand me. I’m used to it, in a way, but I love having all these people as my “girlfriends”, especially when I’m lucky if I get a free minute before 10 pm!

How does your writing/creating process work?

I would say that I have tons of ideas. I normally put them in a post draft, which is why I have over 100 drafts. I have only recently started trying to use at least a partial planner to map out my posts and making sure that I meet all of my deadlines. However, with my two littles getting bigger and mobile, I can’t take as much time as I’d like to blog. I get in where I fit in. These days, that’s not much time.

I’m always thinking of new ideas, to write, in business and for my littles. And when I run out, there’s always Pinterest!

I would like to tag Janine from Janine’s Confessions of a Mommyaholic and Tamara from Tamara like Camera Ana Lynn from Our Blended Marriage and Jenessa from Mothering in Real Life (I had to choose two new peeps because the ones I chose already did it!):
