Fall Season with Kids starting School and Parents going back to work

9/15/2020

The Fall season starts September 22nd and those of us with children are getting into a rhythm of schedules with back to school started in most areas. What has been your experience so far this September?

I've learned to be flexible and adapt with my family. Many students have online learning but some have the option of going to school with masks required during the current COVID pandemic. So far my kids do online learning with the choice to go back to school when they are ready.  I also work at the office a few days a week and then from home the other days.  This makes it nice to help my kids with school work or just having lunch with them when I have a break.

What's your routine look like? Each child and parent will have their own routines and schedules as things progress into the Fall season.  Have you started working on yours yet?  We use the Calendar app on our phone to set dates and reminders for upcoming events.  I've done a few Zoom conference calls working from home, it's been fun but recently I had to text my daughter in the next room to come get our noisy dog.  This is what they call the new normal of life. 

Have you made any recent posts on your social media or news on your website?  As I see on my own website I haven't updated the blog in a while.  I've been focused on my clients sites and social media and also updating Facebook with my latest news. My friend and coworker Beth Gatrell reminded me that it's time for a new blog update! A great thing about life is to just get started if you've stopped.  It's ok, it will take a little time to get the search engines zooming in on your website again but if you have past content that intrigues people that will always be working for you. 

Today I started again and created this blog post.  I love checking out what's going to be happening in the month that I'm in and I visit sites that have the holidays listed. 

I used 
https://nationaltoday.com/september-holidays/  to get a few great ideas for posting and creating content.  

It's National Online Learning Day today, wishing those online learners the best of success today and for the school year!  A few other post ideas I liked for the month is, Sunday Sept 20th is National Pepperoni Pizza Day, Monday Sept 21st is National Day of Peace, and Tuesday September 28th is National Coffee Day along with World Heart Day.  As I look to the future of my posting I see a few days sharing some pizza with friends, peaceful talks, coffee time and a few healthy thoughts about Hearts.  It's pretty easy to make out the plan for the month when you see what kind of days are coming up.  I hope this tip helps you in your business.

If you don't have time for research and development of your online social media than you've found the right connection, it's what I love helping my clients create.  Please feel free to subscribe to the newsletter to get more tips and news.  If you're wanting to do a Zoom meeting or in person meeting send me an email.

All the best,

What are blog hops?

8/6/2013

Have you ever been to a blog and wondered why so many people were leaving their link below a blog post?  You just found something that bloggers call a Blog Hop.  It's a group of bloggers that are viewing each others blogs on a particular subject like recipes or wordless wednesdays which is about a photo you share.  


Some blogs have great directories listing all the fun blog hops you can participate in.  Here is a list I thought would be helpful.
