OMG! Are you a new blogger interested in free beautiful stock photos?

When I first started Twins Mommy, I was on the search for feminine stock photos. I didn’t have the budget to pay for them, so I was looking for free stock images. But, a lot of them just didn’t fit my brand as a mom blogger.

Are you thinking about starting a blog?

If you’re on Pinterest you might have seen some pins about how great blogging is for mamas! From monetizing your blog to networking with other mamas to getting to know your audience, blogging is an amazing and creative outlet for moms.

I know for me, one of the reasons I wanted to start Twins Mommy was to have that outlet to talk about the challenges of being a work-at-home mom and to meet others doing the same.

Hmm…don’t you love it when you have a sweet and sticky treat? The warm weather is a-coming and that means ice cream galore. Well, it does for my twins!

People are naturally drawn to sweet foods. It’s comforting, tastes good and it’s universally accepted as a good thing.

(now, I’m hungry for some mint chocolate-chip ice cream!)

Let me guess:

When you first started your blog you had passion, spunk, creative juices flowing all day and about a million blog post ideas brimming and fighting their way to be THE ONE you publish next.

Three months later and you haven’t a clue what to write about. You’ve lost the love and feeling and now your blog is a complete chore.

After writing that, I HOPE it’s not!! Blogging is a creative way to show people your passions and what you stand for. You can connect with others that are similar to you and even help people! That’s power and amazing mamas!

Have you been hearing a lot of talk about Tailwind lately?

What are those things bloggers are using and how come it’s helping them grow their traffic? What’s the big hype about them?

This is how I thought about it too before I started using Tailwind. See, before Twins Mommy I started Elna Cain.

I didn’t invest in any social media scheduling tools; just pinned when I wanted, tweeted here and there and posted on Facebook when I had time.

No big deal. My traffic slowly grew and in the two years of it being up, I had around 12k pageviews. But, when I started Twins Mommy, I wanted to try something completely different.
