If blogging isn’t your full-time job, it’s probably something you’re squeezing into your already busy schedule. Between school. work, and finding time for yourself.  Writing blog posts often takes a back seat. Making it hard to stick to a consistent schedule. But luckily, there’s a way to create content for your blog in less time.

During April, I was able to get a lot done.  Like many people, I stayed home and only left my home for essentials. I took the time to get caught up on things, organize, and declutter. Once I was done with that, I went digging through my craft supplies and made a few things using what I had. With the supplies I had, I made three wall hangs, and a bunch of felt keychains. I also worked on improving my art skills and played around with new art mediums. So here’s a close look at my April, the things I created, what I accomplished, and my goals for May.

I was selected by Melissa over at Castles and Hurricanes to participate in The Good Reading Habits Tag. She’s a lifestyle blogger who writes about a variety of things like pop culture and sustainability. This tag asks readers to share some of their good reading habits. You can check out her post and find out what her good reading habits are here. I haven’t always been an avid reader. When I was younger I hated reading, and it wasn’t until my college days that it started to grow on me. So, let’s take a look at what some of my good reading habits are.

I’m happy to announce that I’ve recently received another blogger award nomination. This time it’s from the lovely Deandra over at The Black Princess Diaries for The Real Neat Blog Award. She’s a lifestyle blogger who shares her poetry, her thoughts on various subjects, and tips. I’ve received a few blog award nominations throughout my time blogging, and it’s always an honor to be recognized by fellow bloggers. This award gives the nominator the opportunity to learn seven new things about the bloggers they nominate by asking them seven questions. So, I want to thank Deandre for nominating me and be sure sure to check out her blog and her post here.
