Even if you’re a new blogger, a media kit is important to have. Follow this simple tutorial and you’ll have a polished media kit in no time!

First, log into PicMonkey. Choose “design”, then “8×10”. You can make your media kit a different size, but for the purposes of this tutorial we will use an 8×10. This makes it easier to print, too.

For the top of my media kit, I just used my header. I think it’s the perfect way to keep your brand identity across all platforms and designs. If you don’t have a header file saved, just go to your blog and save it that way. Screenshot if you have to.

Click the butterfly, then “your own”. Add the header file. Resize as needed.

After you’ve added your header, click the button that is highlighted in the image above, to combine all image elements. This ensures your header stays put while you’re working on everything else. This can’t really be undone, so make sure it’s where you want it before combining.

Think about what you want to include in your media kit. What message are you trying to get across? What do you want brands to know about you?

For the purposes of this tutorial, I only added social media numbers. Because my numbers are still considered somewhat “small” in the blogging industry, I combined them. This tells the brands that my combined reach is over 20,000. That sounds so much better than telling a brand you only have 300 Facebook followers. While numbers aren’t the only thing that matter, some brands do require a minimum number of social media followers or pageviews each month.

If you have anything else you’d like to “show off”, don’t leave it out! Have you worked with a big brand, like Tide? Add that! Do you have a high percentage of local visitors? That’s important, too!

If you get hung up and aren’t sure what to put in your media kit, simply copy and paste your “about” blurb. Mine isn’t quite the type I’d send to a PR rep or put in a media kit, so I narrowed it waaaay down to just a few sentences.

Don’t forget to include:

1. A professional headshot
2. Social media information
3. Pageviews, demographics, or other “showcase” items
4. Brands you’ve worked with
5. Your header or other branding

Please let me know if you need help or have any questions !!

So tell me have you had a SWEET START ? What’s new and good so far for you? Click below for a chance to win a few awesome gifts + a gift card.

ENTER THE GIVEAWAY !!!!

Good luck !! Thanks so much for coming by I love it !!!

Who’s ready for some football ???? I live in Georgia and down here Football is a huge deal especially on Super Bowl Sunday !!

Every year we have people over to hang out watch the game and play cards ! I normally just pick everything up out in town.

NOPE not this year i’m excited all my goals for the past few moths have had one common factor that was for me to cook more.

I’m finally getting there… no i’m no gourmet chef but stuff like this is fun and so good !!! I practiced a few nights ago and this is a new favorite by far !! I’m excited ! And it’s fancy, easy and fast amazing right ?

How to Make Mini Roast Beef Sammies

It’s so easy my real recipe is at the bottom for all the measurements etc… But want I want to show you and explain how simple and fun this turned out to be.

In my pictures you will see how to-do every step. If you have any questions or think I may have left something out please ask me questions !!

Cut your bread with the cookie cutter I used round and metal always works the best.

Then just spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard:

Next put the shaved roast beef you can kinda eye how much to put doesn’t have to be a whole lot. 

Use the same circle cutter you used for the bread to cut out rounds of provolone. Then add the pieces of cheese left over from the cut out cheese on top of the roast beef. I just tore mine apart in little chunks.

Now, cover up those sloppy shreds with the perfectly round cheese slice.

Melt the cheese but watch close don’t want them to burn. You can do this on broil in the oven.

Your mayo and creamy horseradish sauce will be mixed together in a bowl. Next, slice some cherry tomatoes into thick slices.

Add a sliced tomato and add a bit of the horseradish mix on top stick a cute pick in and you have the hot of the night !!!

Try it y’all surprise people at your next football get together or event !!! And they taste so good everyone wants something a little different !

Mini Roast Beef Sammies with Horseradish Cream

Print

Ingredients

• 3.5 ounces shaved roast beef
• 4 slices pumpernickel bread
• 2 tablespoons djon mustard
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• Cherry tomatoes, sliced thin
• 2 tablespoons creamy horseradish
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Instructions

1. With a cookie cutter the size you want to make the appetizers, cut little rounds in the bread. Each round will create one appetizer serving.
2. Slice the cherry tomatoes so there are approximately 3 slices per tomato.
3. In a small bowl, combine the creamy horseradish and mayo and set aside.
4. Place a small dollop of the mustard on the bread round.
5. Place a small amount of roast beef on each round.
6. Twisting the portion of the beef onto the bread will give it more height and the illusion of having a lot of beef on the bread round.
7. Using the same cookie cutter, cut round from the cheese. Using the left over bits from the slice of cheese, place these on top of the beef so as not to waste the cheese, then top with the circle cheese slice.
8. Place in a broiler until cheese is nicely melted. Watch these so they do not burn!
9. After removing from the oven, top with the slices of tomato. With a small spoon, place a dollop of the horseradish cream on top of the tomato and secure the whole thing with a toothpick.
10. Enjoy!!

Hope y’all love it !!!! Trust me, your guests are going to love these!

Bet some of yall read that as “gold” didn’t ya ?? No no no lets all be GOAL diggers in the new year. Then after all the goals have been met you can splurge a little.

Y’all know by now I’m a planner lover and I have finally found my winner for 2016 !!

Follow along g and I will tell you why I picked this one, real life pictures and all details !

I am very picky with my planners and this one blew me away why ??? See below:

°• Very thick pages my pens do not bleed.
•° The cover is beyond sturdy & strong it will definitely survive my purse.
°• The binding spiral on this planner is truly amazing and no matter how you bend it stays put. This was a huge deal for me.
•° Nice size pocket in the back for stickers, or note pad.
°• The edges are very protected with gold covers that are great quality and there to stay.
•° This planner literally has everything I need.
°• Very large good writing areas.

And the fact they have matching accessories is literally the icing on the cake.

There are many cover designs to choose from I really can’t believe this planner is sold for such an awesome price considering all what’s in side and the quality.

When I see the two words “Goal Digger” it gives me motivation in its self ! That’s like my daily reminder to let myself know I can handle it all and “I got this”.

It even inspired me to make some cute tiny picture frame quotes for all my co-workers…

Now for the inside scoop take a look:

I’m telling you go get it !!! It’s worth it you won’t regret it !

I am definitely a paper and pen planner girl I do not like electronic planning ! Something about the paper planner get me going and keep me motivated ! Try it !

We can all be GOAL diggers y’all !! Get to it !

Thanks so much for coming by ! Fell me what’s your favorite planner and what do you think about this year’s pick !!!

It’s time for the THIRD Thrift Store Swap! You know what that means… awesome thrift store transformations!

The best part about the third swap? It’s all about the Holiday’s!! You’ll find awesome Thrift Store Transformations and amazing Holiday transformations! Plus we’ve expanded the swap to 12 fabulous bloggers so we have 24 amazing projects for you!

Of course… I’m getting ahead of myself. I’m assuming that y’all know what the Thrift Store Swap is! For those of you who are new to the swap we’re a group of gals who love to re-purpose! Lyn over at Mid Michican Mom thought up the whole fabulous idea… it works like this: Gal A heads to her local thrift shop where she buys two items under $10… and then mails them to gal B! Gal B re-purposes her two items from Gal A and sends two more items to Gal C… it’s a giant circle!

It is so fun !!!! & Unique I got my item from Emily over @ Our House Now A Home.

When I first got my item I was like what in the world !! haha funny right? no that’s normally how it goes the person sending the thrift item normally has ideas but the receiver is usually stumped for a few days !

This was the item I received:

Now what did I do with that !! ?? Wow  see below and tell me what you think and if you would have had this item what you would have done.

Bring out all the craft supplies paint, beads, lace, ribbon, glue gun and everything else under my roof.

I got a cheap roll of lace that was not quite wide enough to fit in my loop. So I cut two pieces and just sprayed glued it together worked perfect… And then painted red.

I painted the wooden loop gold to give it a Christmas feel.

Added a few pearl beads to the ribbon so cute !

Make a few tassels to glue on for embellishment as well so easy just wrap around tie at top and cut bottom !! 

Woosh !!! Supplies galore right ??

After brainstorming and trying to figure out what I wanted to create I came up with….

A Christmas Dreamcatcher:

Y’all this was so fun and easy to make !!! And was almost relaxing !!! I have always wanted to make a dreamcatcher and I’m so glad I did !!!

Yay !!!! Mission complete !!! Do y’all like it ??

GIVE ME FEEDBACK

Thanks so much for coming by !!! Means so much !

And now take a look at ALL the projects that the rest of my Thrift Store Swap Friends created below:

Happy Holidays !!! I don’t know about ya’ll but the holidays are some of the best days ever ! I have little ones so of course the most fun is watching them wake up and see everything Santa left ! But HEY ! while I’m playing SANTA I want some goodies to and I hit the JACKPOT went I went looking for the best of the best  stuff I wanted badly but maybe didn’t “need” ! Hey just cause I’m in my 30’s don’t mean my “wants” don’t hurt me ! So please sit back and enjoy and visit each amazing shop as they have so much more to offer than what is featured her !! Have fun & don’t feel GUILTY.

This mug is the best one I own by far !! Robbie Bates took it to a new level with this one. My husband for real thought it was my lipstick…She has big dreams and is doing an amazing job at following them !! Coffee & Mugs = Guilty Pleasure #1. I collect mugs so it is very hard for me to be wowed and this one did it !

The most whimsy jewelry line I have ever seen ! I love it !! I picked this tassel necklace and the detail and the supplies used to create this can’t be beat ! The silver chain it’s self is adorable ! It’s not like a regular plain necklace it’s tiny circles all linked together something I have never seen before ! The lady behind this shop is truly amazing and one of the things she states is… Each piece of jewelry is meant to serve as a token, to inspire and remind you what’s important in your life ! How neat right ! when you get to bust and to stressed just look down and be remained ! Nothing can compare to the craftsmanship of this necklace ! Go see for your self !

Okay, by now everyone knows I’m 100% gypsy at heart and these feed my soul like no other ! These custom made DreamCatchers and mobiles are literally the most detailed ones I have ever seen. Getting a stuffed animal mobile for over the crib is so 1970’s. Give people something to talk about when you add a piece from Tays ! I keep mine in the living room cause I want it to be seen.

Just look !! These felt flowers are the REAL thing ! Not some crafter DIY’er trying for the first time like me lol. I ordered me one in all tans and browns thinking I would hang on my front door it has covered porch so I knew it would be protected… but no way it’s way to cute and detailed right now it’s hanging on my dresser and I am thinking I may actually take it to work. after all I’m there more than home. The quality can’t be topped and super fast shipping. Oh & I’m obsessed with felt balls.

UNIQUE is defiantly a understatement ! You will not find these anywhere else ! Amazing quality and fast shipping from over seas ! If you buy one thing for your self this season let it be this ! Very nice people/designers and everything is hand embroidered. Amazing !!

Holy Sassy !!! YES YES & YES to for sure being on the top of the list for Guilty Pleasures ! I mean who wouldn’t feel sassy and in control with a awesome bow sweater for your coffee ! These are made better than anything I have ever bought that was knitted ! Hands down winner !! Check her out super fast shipping and amazing work.

Welcome to a whole new world of the best candles EVER !! 1st of all every candle comes with a match and a little striker pad inside the lid so your never hunting for a lighter ! Not only do they smell amazing and last forever… But every candle sold helps a kid this is a win-win and you can and will not buy candles like this at the store. Scents like Favorite Hoodie & Flannel Shirt had my house smelling sooooo cozy this is a perfect gift and a different twist on the candle.

Okay these 2 pictures sum up everything I am obsessed with lately… Deer heads, antlers, polka dots, gold & black. I mean it’s freaking amazing !! I currently own the seer head clutch and I carry in every purse ! The quality is beyond what you would expect and the zipper is so good it looks as if it was done in a factory. You will not find better bags, clutch’s,  or wristlets anywhere ! Everywhere I go people want mine!

Okay, This Necklace blew my mind !!!! There is no way for  the designer of this Jewelry line (Dana Pruitt) to show how amazing they are in a picture ! There is no way !! The detail on the front and back of the necklace was totally un-real. I wish you could see the turquoise up close! This is not a necklace for the average person ! Get it own it and flaunt it every single person that see’s it will know it’s special ! WOW ! 

A gold & white BOW pillow !!! REALLY dreams do come true ! Yall it’s amazing and made perfectly !!! I don’t know about yall but I love neat different things that you can’t just pick up @ Target & this is defiantly one of those !! She can do all pillows in all kinds of colors but gold, white and black are always s the winner for me.. Fast shipping amazing quality not cheap AT ALL. Take a look you won’t be sorry and it will make you feel sassy and important !

My skin is SO DRY I mean it’s awful I will try anything on it once just to see…. I came across Copen 26 and was very intrigued. For starters paraben free, 100% Essential oils, cruelty free and they WORK !!! I got a toner, body polish and a chap stick. The Tea Tree Toner was the BEST it left me refreshed but not dry !! I will defiantly be making another order !!  You can tell when people are honest and take pride in the products they create.

See a theme in my guilty pleasures ?? YES lot’s of Deer/Stag heads. There are the ONLY pony tail holders my daughter will use ! But I don’t blame her they don’t pull and they are so cute !! So I went on a search for who made the beat ones like this and I found her !!! YAY… The best never come un-done they do not lose the color easy and she ships super fast !!! There are TONS to choose from ! Go see and buy some for you or your daughter it’s a special touch. And she has the headbands !!

Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets you soul on fire !!!! YES my life motto I had to have this mug and it is truly perfect !!! The design and size is the best you can tell it’s not cheaply made ! The quote on it is there to stay and looks amazing! Every time I put my coffee in I smile that’s the satisfaction of Guilty Pleasures !! She has SO many amazing different things in her shop check it out my next purchase will be This inspired life desk card set !

Thankfully, these amazing raw edge sweatshirts are so trendy and popular right now with leggings and cute boots !! They are truly amazing and so soft !! And let’s be honest these are so sassy and really delivers a neat view on your personality if you have one on ! I literally couldn’t pick and she is so sweet I told her my size and to surprise me !! Now you can’t trust every shop like that !! Her pricing is VERY fair and reasonable and better quality than most I’ve seen for way more ! And check out her coozie to it’s so cute !!! Yes, ladies we deserve these things we might not need !!

By now you get the hint I collect coffee mugs and only the best of the best ! When I came across this shop the mug that says “Life is too short to remove USB safely” sold me !! Pretty much how I feel I used to have a boss that would literally sneak to see if we “removed” it correctly !! hahaha wow right ? And the name of the shop is right on I mean I normally get mugs with quotes that really relate and say what we really cant say ! Very fast shipping and amazing quality ! Go get one !

Unique style, with handmade love ! Yes I agree you can tell when people put everything in to a design. I got the Gypsy Soul Cuff Bracelet cause I don’t know about yall but when I am weighed down with work, life, kids and being married I like a little fun reminder that I still have a piece of that “gypsy” in me and it’s all going to be okay ! It’s important to have a little extra something that parts of indulging in our little guilty pleasures ! She has all kinds of amazing pieces it was so hard to choose ! Amazing quality and very nice person with fast shipping.

Ya’ll this shop is watercolor amazing !! I’m in love with the tank thank has a Shakespeare quote… But I had to have the mermaid bag and the lion mouse pad for my desk !! And carrying things to and from place to place ! It’s not yoyr average mouse pad at all it turns heads and adds a extra layer to your personality. Very amazing quality  and fast shipping !

Tell me something better than Coffee, Wine & Mommy Time…. I know nothing better right ! That’s why I had to have it ! This is an insane deal for these tanks 5 for $40 when others sell them for way more and the fabric is not as near as nice. The fabric on these are thicker much smoother like t-shirt material. Right now these tanks are a HUGE deal cause you can put them under any cardigan and it’s a perfect outfit. I got a mint one and will put with jeans black cardigan and black boots and you can always substitute jeans for leggings ! So So impressed love it !

Okay, This is the best thing I  have bought in a very long time ! I want one for myself  I had no idea they would be this amazing !! These will be used in our pictures yay !! I admit I always buy way more stuff for my kids than for me but this item makes me so happy !!! Pictures can’t do  these justice ! So unique and classy ! They are made top notch and people will for sure be asking me where I got them !! Truly impressed !

Lately have ya’ll seen all the pictures of the decorated mantels ?? How amazing right ! Well let me tell you start here ! These are heavy duty FABRIC tassel banners and I will be using on my mantel with matching extras. You can use them a 100 different ways but right now I’m TEAM MANTEL. I have always been a banner lover I make them, buy them and use them year round. But I don’t have the talent to make one this professional looking to use daily for display ! I love special touches in my house and this one hits the spot !

Home of watercolored mugs !! They are fabulous & let me tell you I’m a DIY queen and I have tried this before and let’s just say it’s not a easy task she rocks it !! They are all one of a kind and special. My favorite being the one that says I love my tribe. I’m a blogger and without a tribe it’s defiantly not as fun !! I collect coffee mugs and this one will be displayed in my clear cabinets so it can be seen as it should. Love these ! Great quality and fast shipping.

A few months ago I got into essential oils and from then on I have really enjoyed them ! in my bath is where I use them the most and I most recently bought a diffuser. I was scrolling around looking at small shops and came across these and all here products are made with essential oils so I was intrigued immediately. She had amazing reviews and I have such dry sick I was thinking products with essential oils would be perfect. I got the one for dry skin and I can already tell a difference !! That’s insanity I never can tell a difference ! It is called simply nourished exactly what I needed ! Great shop love it !

Yes Yes I’m obsessed with these coffee mug coats ! I defiantly need more than one or even more than 10 !! Yes guilty pleasure winner right here for sure ! I choose the gold and white with red cause it’s so festive and fun ! It will literally make my star bucks cup amazing and when I walk into work it will put a pep in my step ! I’m in my 30’s and deserve these things ! even if your 90 these are fun ! And look @ the one with the diamond every newly engaged girl wants that I promise !!! Amazing quality and fast shipping love it !

Okay so I’m sassy I can’t help it I live in a tiny southern town in Georgia. It’s in my blood and these shirts spoke to my heart ! I got the one that says Make Coffee Put On Gangsta Rap & Get Shit Done ! Yes this slouchy pullover and black leggings will be my new uniform on Saturday’s ! Cause that’s exactly what I need to be doing ! Amazing top notch quality and when you look at it you can tell it was from a specialty shop. The other will def be my next purchase “Namaste Bitches” And yes people know me well enough to take it lightly when I have it on at my next yoga class !!

I hope ya’ll loved all this as much as I did !! Something extra to make you smile can go a long way ! Show these amazing hard working shops some love !! I am truly grateful I ran across each one… Please let me know if you have any questions at all !

Hey y’all who all has kids in Elementary school ? Well I do and I have truly enjoyed it so far. I have heard so many people struggling with sight works with the kids and I hate that ! I know every child is different and learn way different than others. But i think cause I make it fun it helps me and my daughter.

1. I took very cute scrapbooking cards and wrote the words each week kn those so far and put them in a cute metal box. It’s easy and cute and my girl likes all the prints.

2. I bought some sticker letters and a poster board and let her find the words out of the letter s and then place on poster board what kid boy or girl don’t like stickers. Especially big ones !

When it’s pretty weather out side we do them out there so we are not so cooped up !!

Poster and sticker fun !!

So far it has worked wonders for us !! She knows each weeks sight words before the new set comes out. And of course we go over all the old ones each week to refresh as well.

Do y’all do sight words at your child school ?

Do you struggle getting your child to “want to do it” ?

What fun ways have y’all tried if any?

Below you will find more ideas I have found on Pinterest that we will be doing in the weeks to come !!

Tons of kids these days have a phone they use on WiFi or a tablet and love using it cause they feel like a big girl/boy. These apps are perfect for that!

This is perfect when I saw this I knew it would be perfect I literally bought Nerf guns on Friday and they love using them in the house hahah !!

Word version on candy land perfect in our house cause we play candy land about 30 times a day !!

These are really cool and feel neat they have these at school but I’m going to may a few for home in different colors !

Thanks so much for coming by I love it !!!

November is such a awesome cozy month ! I love the chill and cuddling up at home. It’s not yet stressful holiday season its the best of both !!

So here I am sharing with you a few things I hope to accomplish this November.

Okay so this is huge y’all this November I plan on having NO booze nope not even wine. Why you ask well for some odd reason I have had this thought in the back of my mind for a while and saw this and took it as another sign. I love wine after a long days work while I cook and the kids play but nope not this month ! & I know I will be proud.

I am complety in love with felt balls y’all and I am so determined to make my own all in tan and brown colors. And decorate the mantel I can’t wait there were some really easy DIY instructions on Pinterest when I checked earlier yay !!!

I am a horrible cook yes I don’t even pretend I’m good or even like to try ! Thank goodness my husband married me knowing this flaw. But this I can do and will be doing for my daughter’s class how cute easy and fun 3 of my favorites !! Hersery Kisses, Mini Vanilla waffers, choc chips and peanut butter !!

This will also be a new journey for me. I purchased this book yesterday from Holly Holt and I’m so excited ! (Comes with free study guide also). There are tons of people joining in on this to make it more fun. I was brought up in chruch and never go without praying but I don’t attend regularly. So I can’t wait to see what’s in store !! Check it out if you have a chance. It last 5 weeks.

If you follow my blog at all by now you probably know I love free cute Printables to put in cute frames and place all over the house it’s such cute detail that “looks” like took a lot of effort but it doesn’t and its so festive !!
** Click pic to be taken to printable site.

Happy wife happy life right ?? Hahah just kidding… But this is currently my November read and I’m in love with this book. It’s not fiction and has a awesome raw look on marriage. Very very good easy reading !!

What do y’all have in mind for November please tell me I love getting other ideas from my readers !!! Share share share !!

On top of all that we will totally be making huge piles of leaves to let the kids jump in !! That’s kinda of a tradition.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by I’m so thankful !!

By now even if you have been a blogger for one day you probably realize it’s not a kne person show. We need supportive blog friends and amazing readers.

When I started blogging I had NO idea how huge this part of the world actually was.

I immediately felt overwhelmed and like every idea I had was already covered. But I just kept on cause I knew I would love it !!

For me blogging is my outlet I don’t really stress if it doesn’t bring in money, it’s a hobby that I enjoy.

The tribe I have built for myself and blog is so amazing its hard to believe. I enjoy chatting with them daily and asking tons of ?? And getting REAL feedback.

My tribe didn’t appear out of thin air it took time. And I honestly think that relationships with other bloggers need to happen authentically, so I couldn’t just go wander around on WordPress. For me, it’s more about connecting with the individual blogger.

Tips that worked for me:

– Seek out similar blogs.
– Put yourself out there.
– Check out the people that comment on your post.
– Be authentic no body likes a copy cat not in 5th grade not ever !
– Respond to comments.
– Support your readers.
– Provide a reson to return like real content, giveaways, freebies etc…

The Blog Love Project (my favorite).
Blog Elevated Community.
Beyond Your Bloggers.
Blog Staycation (starts this week amazing !!!).
Bloggers United.
Bloggers Unite.
Social Media Network Group.
The Peony Project.
Together We Blog.

Feel free to add to this list in the comments that will help me to !!

Because it’s the best move I’ve ever made !! But if you don’t also provide your tribe with support it’s pointless.

– More readers.
– Comments that are genuine.
– Joining together for giveaways.
– Having honest feed back.
– Having amazing ideas together like right now I have a thrift store sway and a every Wednesday linky party’s with my tribe.
– Share each other’s content on all social media.
– Love seeing each other reach new goals.
– Right now with a few of my tribe members I’m doing the #SeptemberScopers challenge soooo fun !!

The list goes on for days tall I’m telling you. My bloggy BFF’s are amazing and I honestly feel like I know them and I really do care. 

Before I became a blogger I had no idea what “twitter chats” were or even existed. I have met some very awesome bloggers this way that I still follow very closely. Here’s a list of a few that I think are the most beneficial for making relationships.

1. #SITSBligging – Saturdays

Like any good hosts we’re sitting right by the present table waiting until our guests leave so we can go through the loot… the loot being your links! We can’t wait to check out what you’ve left for us. Trust me there will be a lot of pinning, tweeting and facebook sharing going on in the near future… we can’t wait to show off what you’ve left!
