I am so happy to bring you the premiere episode of the Living for Naptime podcast! I’ve been working behind the scenes on this for several weeks now, and finally it’s here!
If you enjoyed this podcast (and duh..of course you did) please do me a huge favor and leave a review in the iTunes store!
Abbie Ginther, from Grumbling Grace, was kind enough to be my first guest and she didn’t disappoint! Abbie is a high school literature teacher, who started a blog while on maternity leave (did you know they get a whole year off in Canada?) In this podcast Abbie details how she got the attention of a Babble Editor which landed her a guest post on Babble, how she manages her time & reveals the most surprising aspect of blogging!
If you are looking for a humorous side of parenting, then you’ll definitely want to check out Abbie’s blog, Grumbling Grace where she puts a funny spin on the day to day lifestyle of a stay-at-home mom.
Chrystie is a mom of 3 kids and wife to one. She's sold 4 blogs in the last 10 years and now helps other women start their blogging empire. Her love for really bad reality TV is only trumped by her love for margaritas without salt. Her other addictions include spray painting everything gold and embarrassing her kids at the bus stop. #thatmom
Abbie you’re AH-MAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “that’s a great name” and then who went ahead and changed her blog name?!
Amazing interview and great advice! Abbie’s humour (I’m spelling it with a ‘u’ because, you know, Canada) and realness keep me coming back! Whether she likes it or not, she’s on my my blog bffs.
Actually, I found living for naptime through Abbie 🙂
I’m rambling… need more coffee. Simply Shaunacey
Just listened and this was great!! Love your chemistry with each other, and the advice and tips were so useful for new bloggers! I am the same in that I have no idea how The Twitter works.. but I will need to figure it out! Good job ladies!!!
Completely agree with your vibe attracts your tribe. I started blogging because I love writing and connecting and I’d much prefer a quality of followers than a large quantity of followers that don’t even read or resonate with my life. I suck so bad at blogging the “right” way but I just keep kinda doing my own thing and hoping somewhere out there in the universe someone is enjoying my vibe. Thanks for all the great tips ladies! Y’all are awesome!
Love her! She’s so funny! On my way to follow along with her too. And I like your pod casts! It’s a great way to meet other bloggers and feel more connected with them.
Hah NO tech skills here either! I love that you both understand that every blog has a different vibe & you encourage new bloggers to give it a try. That’s why bloggers still follow so many other bloggers!
This was so fun to listen to…so amazing that you’ve worked with Babble, great tips on finding the real people behind the big sites out there. I’m officially an Abbie fan!
My mom is going to be so pumped to have a second member of her fan club. Hee hee! Just kidding. Thank you so much Stacy! I’d love to follow along on your journey too.
Loved this! Abbie is just as charming and fun in person.
Thanks, my blogging inspirational babe!
