I have to thank the blogger who nominated me and provide a link to their blog . (Of course, I would do this. Who would not? LOL)
I have to write a post to show the award. (That is this.) < – Was that a sentence?
I have to write a brief story of how my blog started. (Should I be a good girl and keep it brief?)
I have to give two pieces of advice to new bloggers. (But I am not at all opinionated! Okay, I totally am.)
I have to select 15 other bloggers that I want to pass this award onto. (Pay it forward. Right on!)
I also have to comment on each of the 15 blogs to let them know that I have nominated them and provide them the link to this post. (I love visiting people’s blogs. I visit, click through and comment on every blog that links up on the #TipTuesday Link Party )
HOW MY BLOG STARTED:
As a kid I had several published poems. Later I had short stories and research papers published. Blogging was a natural progression. I wrote my very first blog post on August 13, 2011.
I started out blogging a book. This included my daily observations and experiences such as My Stereotactic Breast Biopsy, A Prayer For My Boobies and My Biopsy Results .
I also wrote about Exhaustion, Love & Frustration, Stress & Illness , being a Football Mom and so much more.
Some of the original posts are still on the blog but some have been tucked away for the book.
Overtime, I was told that I really should monetize my blog. Well, let’s keep it real.
So I monetized.
My monetization comes in the form of paid blogging opportunities, freelance writing, sponsored posts and reviews, affiliate links, influencer campaigns and my clients.
As a Lifestyle & Relationship Coach I have had the immense pleasure to provide loving guidance to my clients and to highlight my passion project, United We Parent.
MY ADVICE:
For a while there I wrote post after post on health and wellness . Now, don’t get me wrong. I do think that is really important and I still do it because I have knowledge and I want to share that knowledge. However, for a time my personality got lost in the academia.
I write some things that may turn people off (super funny pun since I am talking about sex related posts ) but you really can’t please everyone so do not try to. Ultimately you must trust that you will find your audience and they will also find you. Figure out what they need, want and desire but do not give yourself up in the process. Be your genuine self.
If it is going to take you hours upon hours to set up the latest plug in or integrate your mailing list or whatever else needs to be done then PAY SOMEONE TO DO IT. Your time needs to spent being the expert that you are. Let someone else be the expert that they are. If you happen to be a tech expert then do it yourself and do it for me too. 🙂
H ere are the list of my nominees, in alphabetical order, for Blogger Recognition Award .
Of course, I think everyone that visits my blog is pretty awesome but, regrettably, I could only pick 15.
(In the interest of disclosure I will also admit that a few of them are my clients too.) <- not an affiliate disclosure as I receive no monetary compensation from highlighting these entrepreneurs.
FYI, you can list your nominees however you want and you do not have to include your why.
Adrienne – Gluten Free Preppers <- I am super proud of all that Adrienne has done to grow her blog these last months.
Casey – Casey, The College Celiac <- Young, awesome and unabashedly sharing her journey through life with celiac
Christy – From Engineer to SAHM <- She had a guest post on “Ask Dr. Ho” and she answers comments.This is the way to really connect with new readers.
Donna – Donna Merrill’s Tribe <- Donna’s blog consistently over delivers on information that we all need. I love when entrepreneur’s over deliver but do not skyrocket prices.
Helene – HC Lifestyle Blog <- I love her disclaimer right there on the homepage.
Jenni – Raising My Little Superheroes <- I love the magic rock story which is actually titled: Little Monkey, Calm Down .
Jenny- The Domestic Wildflower <- Two reasons to pick Jenny. 1 – She is an awesome Ask Dr. Ho guest blogger . 2. She is bringing the old fashioned back into fashion.
Katie- Katies Kottage <- With a blog focused on organization and natural living, Katie has already touched upon two important topics when trying to live a reduced stress healthy life.
Katy – Skip The Bag <- Great tips on leading a more eco-friendly lifestyle. This ties in perfectly with an upcoming announcement so I felt a particular connection to Katy.
Kristy – Grace and Foxtails <- Who wouldn’t love a blogger who starts out by promising to rant and rave? Motherhood and more is the focus here.
Kyler – Simple Kinda Mom <- Kyler keeps it real as she discusses things such as antidepressants, PPD and frugal living.
Lesly Federici – PAC <- I really appreciate Lesly’s efforts to support her tribe. I am PAC Expert Author currently working on a weekly series highlighting PAC members.
Lila – Wildflowers and Progress <- I love the focus on finding beauty in even the ugly bits of life. I also enjoy Lila’s writing style.
Lucy – Lucy At Home . Everyone really appreciated the rawness of Lucy’s guest post, A Pledge to My Children .
Sue – Sueblimely <- Sue’s recent post about showing gratitude to fellow bloggers is a great reminder to us all.

Lucy At Home July 2, 2017 at 1:05 am Reply Ah Elise, thank you so much for the nomination! It was lovely to find out a bit more about the origins of Ask Dr Ho and your advice about being true to yourself and showing your personality is so true. Thankfully, my husband is a web developer so I can ask him to do all the technical stuff because I’m pretty clueless about that side of it! Lucy At Home recently posted… The Mummy I Try To Be – A Poem Dr. Elise Cohen Ho July 2, 2017 at 9:29 am Reply You are very welcome. Oh, that is so wonderful that your hubby is a developer. I am not very techy either so I hire out for that or use an intern.
