Q:What is the meaning behind your blog name?
A: For me One Crazy Messy Mama means that I can show
the world my craziness lol, being a wife to a man who works crazy hours and is
gone frequently and mom to a one year old ball of chaos my life is messy. It
allows me to show other new mamas that it is okay that your laundry is sitting
in a pile in the floor waiting to be sifted through to find your husbands
favorite sock or the dishes in the sink because life keeps moving and does not
care about those things. I want other moms to see that they don't have to keep
up this image, it's okay to let out your crazy LOL.
Q: What
made you decide to start blogging?
A: I was always told growing up by my teachers and
my mom that I was a good writer, but at the time I hated writing so I never
really took those compliments to heart. Until I was roaming Pinterest as usual
for ways to make extra cash on the side and blogging was one of the most
popular ways. Even though blogging started out as a way to make money with it
still is, it has become more of a way to be something other than a wife and
mother. It gives me an outlet to share insights, my faith, and even
frustrations with other readers.
Q:What
do you blog about?
A: Life, it can be super messy and a little crazy.
I write about faith, family, motherhood, marriage, frugal tips, and fun craft
projects. You will find a little bit of everything on my blog with life being
so crazy, there is no way I can write about just one thing.
Q:How
long have you been blogging?
A: I originally started the set up and behind the
scenes part back in January but did not really start posting until late
February.
Q:What
do you like to do beside blogging? Any hobbies?
A: I enjoy being crafty (I have an entire room with every supply possible LOL), working out, spending time with my husband and son, going to the beach, and reading.
Q: Have
you had writer’s block? What did you do?
A: In my short time blogging yes I have gotten
writers block already. I researched and scoured the Internet, my brain, my
husband's brain and even my mom and when that did not give me any ideas on what
I wanted to write about I decided to do a simple 30 day challenge which I am
finishing up now. It has asked me some awesome questions and opened up my brain
to some topics that I cannot wait to publish on my blog!
Q: What’s
one thing you want your subscribers to know?
A: I want my subscribers to know that I will always
be honest, and my faith is a huge part of this blog.
Q: How
do you balance being a mom, wife and blogger?
A: Hm this is a good question LOL! I typically am up
earlier than my son (definitely not my husband 4:30 is just too early for this
girl) and awake later than both my husband and my son so that I can use the
peace and quiet to write, edit, and schedule posts. During the day I use that
as my social media and research time. Weekends I try to just do social media
stuff and not work as hard because when my husband is home I make sure to spend
as much time with him and our son as I can. While I hope that this blog becomes
a solid way of income for my family I never want to put it before my family.
Q: What
advice would you give to someone who is just starting their blog?
A: Forget
about the numbers! I know that sounds like an oxymoron but believe me you need
to forget about it! When you’re first starting it's more about your content,
blog design, and professionalism. Once you get that down your numbers will
come, make sure your content is awesome so those viewers will become followers
and followers will become subscribers! Numbers don't matter if they don't stick
around!
