I don’t regret for one minute starting this blog and ending
New Mummy, I feel much freer now to write what I want. Before I felt I had to write
about being a mum and I set myself silly rules like no reviews etc and it was oppressive.
Now I don’t feel the pressure to write and if you read New Mummy you see I post
a lot less but I’m ok with that. I write when I want to not when I think I
should.
The last 12 months has been amazing for me, I’m not saying
there haven’t been some bad times. There is failed business idea and bouts of
depression but on the whole it’s been really positive.
I won the MAD Blog Award for Post of the Year with my post Hello
My Name Is Carol and I have Depression and yesterday I was notified I have
been nominated for a Mums Clubs Business Award!!
Work has gone from strength to strength for me this year and
in the last 6 months it has really taken off. For those of you that don’t know
what I do, I making money from blogging and offering Professional Blogging
Services which include VA Services.
I know some people scoff when I say I make money from blogging but I
really do! My blogs New Mummy’s
Tips, Parent Panel and Make it, Bake it make up part of my
business and I run them as one they are not personal blogs and bring in half of
my income. The other half of my business is my freelance blogging and VA
services.
I love what I do and I am so fortunate that blogging has
brought me so many amazing experiences and the opportunity to make a living
doing something I really enjoy on my own terms!
So what will the next year bring me? Who knows but I have a
feeling it’s going to be good!
(PS I have a little blogging birthday giveaway coming up
later!)
I will leave you with my favourite track from the last year.
