I have been blogging "as work" for over 2 years now and I have learned a LOT along the way. When I first started trying to make money on my blog back was back in 2010. I signed up through all these different companies and websites not knowing what I was looking for and never found anything that I felt was worth my time. But when I started trying to expand my blog in 2012, it was more for hobby and then I thought I could review a few items here and there because I saw other bloggers doing just that. So I reached out to a few companies. And it worked. But that's a post for another day. And then I found out that I could really make money, if I invested more money into my blog. But that's also a post for another day. This post is all about the sites that you can work with to help monetize your blog because they have worked for me.

My daughter just started to swim over the summer. Being a mermaid is her new goal in life. She could live in the water everyday, if it were possible. She loves to pretend to be a mermaid, but what if there was a way for her to BE a mermaid?

Fin Fun is the maker of the Monofin and although I think those are SO COOL, my daughter is not quite a skilled enough swimmer for one yet, so I am excited to get the chance to include the Bikini Beach Cuddle Tail Blanket in my Holiday Gift Guide.

My daughter has LOVED My Little Pony for a few years now and she still does! She has almost everything so it is getting more difficult to find great gifts for her. I thought I would share some ideas that can help you think outside the box of the MLP world. No matter what age, there is something here for the My Little Pony fan in your life!

My son is obsessed with trains. When we are driving in the car and he spots tracks, he says "choo choo" and "look train" over and over again. I love to play with trains too, so I'm very excited he is starting to get into them. But he doesn't really have a nice train set. My in-laws plan on giving him a Thomas set, but I want to expand his collection with a high quality set too.

The Whittle Shortline Railroad is a family owned, 20 year old, wooden toy train company. They hand craft realistic toy trains that are compatible with Thomas, Brio, and Chuggington. Their toy trains are modeled after real trains you would see in your neighborhood. As a part of their 20th anniversary, they released over 20 new trains for August 2016. In December 2016, they will begin a program of releasing a new train each month and expanding their offering to trains around the world! Visit their website right now to watch video's and learn more. Seriously my son LOVES the video below.
