Blogging Challenge Day 3 – What I love about being a blogger

30 Day Blogging Challenge Day 3 – What do I love about being a blogger

Wow, There are so many things I love about being  a blogger I am not sure were to start. This job is so different from my old job. For my old job I had to be very serious. I worked at a risk manager for a major rental car company and truly saw all of the dark side of what can happen with rental cars. I was responsible for making sure people paid their bills, handling court cases, and so much more. I enjoyed the job but it was incredibly stressful and I traveled a lot with it. As a blogger I travel when I want to or when I am lucky enough to attend a conference or hopefully some day attend a brand event. I love working as a blogger. I really can’t express enough how much I love sitting down and my computer everyday and getting to interact with amazing people all around the country. It is hard to describe this is as a job it is more really being able to live out a passion for coupons and saving money.

Here is a list of some of my favorite things I love about being a blogger….

-Getting the chance to interact with people all around the world that share a passion for coupons

-Meeting other bloggers and learning from them

-Getting the opportunity to work with and represent amazing brands and share them with our readers

-Being home for lunch with John. I love that everyday he walks in the door and says “Honey i’m home!” and we get to spend an hour together.

-Somedays I really enjoy working on my yoga pants and an Old Navy t-shirt with my hair on top of my head and no make up. I am not sure the UPS or Fed Ex man enjoy my get up some days. I opened the door in pink monkey pajama bottoms the other day and got quite the look.

One Call Away by Brenda Warner Book Review

One Call Away by Brenda Warner – Book Review

I was recently given the opportunity to read One Call Away: Answering Life’s Challenges with Unshakable Faith by Brenda Warner. This book was amazing. I did not want to put it down from the first chapter on. The book takes you on Brenda Warners amazing journey from young adult to Mom and wife of a NFL star. The book really makes you appreciate life and everything that you have.  It has taken me a few weeks to write this review because I was just not really sure how to express how much I enjoyed this book. This is one of those books that I will keep on the bookshelf and read again in the future.

The journey that Brenda Warner has gone through is honestly amazing. She is able to express herself so eloquently even when discussing some amazing hardships. She talks openly about getting a divorce and having a special needs child to living on food stamps and trying to get by. What really impressed me the most is how she has taken all that life has given her and turned it around and now helps others. She truly shows that even when life gives you lemons there is a way to make lemonade.

I was provided with a copy of this book from Booksneeze. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.
