Home Office Women | Work at Home Mom | Earn Money From Home | Work from Home | Home Office Business

Well, well, well… school has started and life is back to normal for me again. It’s back to waking up early and preparing lunch for my boy to take to school. I haven’t had much time in the home office cos I’m running around getting things done and easing back into the schedule.

There are a few things lining up for me and we are leaving for a short trip to Melbourne tomorrow. I am hoping to eat more good food there and do some shopping in the city. Shopping for some equestrian clothes is in my list of ‘to-do’ and I really hope the weather isn’t as cold as they say. I don’t mind the cold but what I like to see is some nice sunshine. My boy will miss school for a few days and I’m a little uncomfortable with that at first. I’ll be taking a break from our home office business and I’m looking forward to catch up with some close friends.

That’s it for now and I’m off to packing some last minute stuff and head to bed for some good rest.

Since a visit to a lovely family’s house few months ago, our family has been sitting in front of the television almost every night. We have been enjoying Masterchef Season 3 as a family and this is the kind of break we take from our home office business. I take the effort to stay out of the home office when my son comes home and I like it that way.

Tomorrow is friday. I’ll be having lunch with my work at home hubby in Sunnybank and we love eating in our favourite restaurant, Maru. I need to buy a couple of funny tee shirts for little junior to bring to school for a project. Then we need to do some grocery shopping. Tonight, our favourite contestant, Hayden Quinn was booted out of the Masterchef kitchen and we weren’t very happy. This entire show is showing so much favouritism and people who don’t deserve to be in top 5 are already in there! How sad! I personally don’t think the judging criteria was fair at all when the blue team lost to the red team who had equally showed some flaws. I have to keep reminding myself that it’s just a show!

So Hayden Quinn is out… I think it’s a blessing in disguise for him. After all, you don’t need to be a masterchef winner to make it big!

After blogging for more than five years, I find myself taking it slow and easy this year. I think the move has slowed things down in the home office and I find myself indulging in other hobbies and passions in the last six months.

Just the other day, I was talking to hubby and he was suggesting that I start a new blog on my baking and cooking experience. I love the idea but I need to find time to get it done now. It’s been hard when there are so many things I want to do, I like to do and I have to do. I had this friend who was asking me to teach her how to blog and that’s one more thing on my plate now. Well, some friends were asking me on how to increase their blog readership.

I was telling them that one of the ways to increase blog readership is to think about doing a series. A series is a great way to keep a reader coming back again and again. You can do this for all kinds of topics, from a health specific one to an insurance one such as providing info on cd annuities
. In addition, if you are linking back, you can get readers looking at multiple posts even after you are done with the series. Be careful when doing a series, because you do not want to frustrate readers. However, if you have a topic you genuinely think you should handle over a period of time, then a series can really help your overall readership. If you are curious as to whether or not a series is working for your blog, then check posts. See if readers are posting through the series to see if they are following you. If they are, then your series is a success and you are only helping your blog readership.
