    I’ve been loving holiday decorating and creating I’ve been loving holiday decorating and creating customized holiday gift lists this month. I don’t always feel the holiday cheer but this year feels different. I just want to bring joy to my friends and family. One of my favorite things I’m sticking under the tree for myself this year are these salted butter caramels thanks to @straightfrance they’re SO good, plus they’re made in Brittany so I’m an obvious fan 🤣 head to their instagram and check them out, they’re also linked in my holiday gift guide in my bio! @straightfrance @stackinfluence #straightfromfrance #straightfromfrancepartner #frenchfood #foodlover #giftideas #caramel

    We love creating in this house. This one is super We love creating in this house. This one is super easy for the younger kids. I also had fun myself. All you need is construction paper, a marker, paint and a potato! What do you think?

    When I tell people I’ve been a content creator o When I tell people I’ve been a content creator online since 2008, the first thing they always ask is, how much do you really make? For every person it’s different. I am not a social media manager and I don’t gain anything by sharing this information for you. A lot of social media managers on the internet profit by teaching you ways to create content and grow a following. I truly do this for fun. Currently I’m saving the money I make from social media to take my family to Virginia next Spring for our nieces Graduation, and somewhere special next fall I can’t tell you about just yet. My favorite kind of content to make is UCG content. For example, this video you just watched is a UCG video. This brand sent me the product (just under $400) for free and asked me to create a video they could use on their social media pages. They paid me, $20. Most people would scoff at this. And honestly, it’s not a live-able income, but the truth is- we have been shopping for reverse osmosis systems for over a year. They’re expensive and we weren’t sure which one we wanted. We were going to buy this product anyway. The small payment was worth it. It’s not always the same though. A few months ago I did a video for a pan company who will remain nameless. They paid me $350 and sent me a $200 pan set for a video and a couple photos. I had never used their pans before and I was SO excited. Yesterday, my pan handle started on fire in my kitchen. My number one piece of advice, is to not take sponsorships without it aligning with something you would buy yourself. The ultimate goal for any brand is to increase sales or following and you want to ensure your content does that for them. Don’t promote things you wouldn’t buy for yourself. Those are just a few things I’ve been asked about recently but I would love to answer more questions for you if you have them: this is the funnest side job I’ve ever had. And if you’re a brand looking to collaborate send me a message! I’m currently working on quite the collection of clip in hair extensions (my favorite) What questions do you have? Answering in comments and in stories! Ps if you want to see the original video check the highlights
    My husband has the talent and I’m the videograph My husband has the talent and I’m the videographer. This project was tough but really put our lives into perspective. It’s been a month, but Adam accepted a new job that allows him to actually be home with our family! #storiesoverstuff !
    I’m not usually one who loves to post selfies, e I’m not usually one who loves to post selfies, especially on Instagram but I’ve been feeling super down about myself lately. Especially because I haven’t been eating good food, and my energy levels have been low. I’m also losing patches of my hair again. I’m having my labs tested especially for iron but my hair has been tough. I’ve been living wearing clip in extensions. A few years ago I spent almost $1000 on a Halo that I absolutely hated. Now I’ve been having fun with Remy Hair and even some synthetic clip ins. All under $50 on Amazon. If anyone wants to send me some more free extensions let me know 😂😂 #notsponsoredbutwishtheywere

    One of our favorite things we’ve been doing this One of our favorite things we’ve been doing this year is attending as many @vikings events that we can as a family.

    What is your favorite Halloween activity? I love a What is your favorite Halloween activity? I love a good Haunted Trail Ride or a Haunted House. This one was a private trail put on by @cliff.nelson.83 & @trishanelsonblog and it was fantastic! What’s your favorite thing to do for Halloween? 👇🏼
    Let’s talk game night! We did this one without m Let’s talk game night! We did this one without my brother @jesse_j_kayak_fishing because he absolutely refused to play trivia games since we always made fun of him when he lost as a kid. Jokes still on him, because this one is not a trivia game! Boss Dog games was kind enough to send us over this Movie Battle game and it was so much fun. You basically lay cards with a theme or an action and have to name as many movies you can think of based on the card. We had a great time playing together and it gave us a chance to bond as a family. It would be a fantastic party game because you can play with up to 12 people. You can grab it on Amazon with the link in my bio! Are you a movie buff? If so, tell me a movie in the comments that has a ninja in it, but make sure you don’t repeat one that has been said before! The last person to have named a movie that hadn’t been said before in the comments that has a Ninja in it will win a copy of the game! You can guess as many times as you want! Contest is not sponsored by instagram or Boss Dog Games. *Open to US residents only. Contest ends on 10/31!

    Halloween weekend at Stoney creek rv resort did no Halloween weekend at Stoney creek rv resort did not disappoint. The first two days were kind of a bummer because it was pouring rain outside but we took a trip to the local brewery where we had a fun eating dinner and playing games. We came back so the kids could play in the arcade and we hung out with the adults and played cards. On Saturday we decorated our site with a balloon arch which was super fun and then took the kids to a costume contest followed by trick or treating through the campground. We finished the night on the haunted trail which was super fun and some of the kids left crying. Overall it was Great weekend and we can’t wait to go back next year!
