This summer just flying by! Seriously there’s not enough hours in the day when you’re working a full time job, getting your Master’s degree AND working on a blog. My goal is to ONLY work on my blog as a full time job. A dream and goal many many many bloggers have! Blogging is not a get rich quick career. I’ve…
OK my June update is a little late…but better late then never right!? I’m super excited for this post because June was a record month for my blog thanks to my new favorite affiliate – Social Stars!
