What’s Up this Week?

Hey all!  I thought I’d write a post to let you all know how the old re-launch is going:  AMAZING! Honestly, I could not have asked for a better result.  I’m so happy I took the time to really make everything over and get things just so.  I’ve got Facebook ads now, which has really helped with my page traffic, it’s helping me connect with people who are interested in the same kinds of things I am, the stuff Lottie Hop is about, and that’s magic! I also love having the time to sit down and write a blog post … Continue reading

Guuurl, I love a deal! And a good manifesto!

One thing about me that is probably obvious: I love deals.  I love bargain shopping.  I love finding things for practically nothing.  It keeps my cost of living for my family pretty low at times, and it really helps when it comes to my work.  I subscribe to coupon sites (for the baby formula coupons mostly), and some mommy type sites in case there are any good deals on clothes or diapers or what have you.  Now don’t misunderstand me: I love talking about my kid.  However, this is not a mommy blog.  Mommy blogs are great for finding out … Continue reading
