Bundling Up for the Unexpected with DICK’s Sporting Goods

If there’s one thing these past ten months have taught me, it’s that you can never be too prepared. A couple weeks ago, I got to attend a virtual event with some other bloggers to learn all about some of the unexpected winter offerings available this year at DICK’s Sporting Goods. Afterwards, I got to shop for myself and get bundled up (literally) for the winter months here in Washington DC. And as much as I wish I could channel my inner Elsa and be all ~the cold never bothered me anyways,~ I am sadly someone that is very much bothered by the cold.

Daydreaming About Consistency, My Word of the Year

While I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions, I do try to think of a word of the year or theme to work on. I find that having this broader option allows me to give myself some grace and create attainable goals that fit to outside circumstances. (See last year’s word of the year for a great example of this!)

One week into the new year and I’m already questioning myself about this choice, but it’s also been a reminder that choosing a word is better than setting concrete goals.

When Everything Intersects…on 2020

It’s the last full week of December and somehow I’m just now writing my first blog post of the month. {Oops!} A couple months ago, I tried to sit down and write about how I was feeling about *waves hands around* everything and could not get it to flow in the right way. As much as I want to believe that someday this very intense year will make sense, it’s also ok if it doesn’t. Since we’re wrapping up the year though, it felt like a natural time to share one of my big takeaways on how everything intersects plus an update on my 2020 word of the year.

It’s been a while since I’ve written a post about blogging so today’s is all about writing a brand pitch.  This week, I sent out a ton of pitches and was reminded that it’s such a big part of being a blogger if you want to monetize your website.  We’re going to go through what to include, what not to write, and the benefit of pitching yourself as a blogger.
