A Flashback to College

A couple of weeks ago, Jake and I went to a Classic FM Pops concert with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. (Some of you may have seen my Facebook post about Josh Turner.) Needless to say, it was a lot of fun. Among other selections, the concert featured a medley of Chicago songs. When I was in pep band in college, we played 25 to 6 or 4 and/or Make Me Smile at nearly every game. There aren’t a lot of things I miss about college, but going to basketball games and playing in the pep band was so much fun. After the concert, all I wanted to do was listen to my old pep band mix.

Facebook Groups for Bloggers: Pinterest Sharing Tips

Facebook Groups for Bloggers: Pinterest Sharing Tips | https://www.roseclearfield.com

It’s no secret that Facebook groups for bloggers are an ideal way to increase your exposure while networking with other bloggers. If you aren’t already part of at least a couple of blogging Facebook groups, I highly recommend finding a few to join. Once you’ve joined Facebook groups for bloggers, it’s important to follow the rules (which will vary from one group to the next) and share the best content you can to maximize its reach.

I do participate in several Facebook groups on a daily basis. In these groups, I see a lot of bloggers sharing fabulous pins that I know are going to perform well on a long-term basis. However, also see a lot of bloggers sharing mediocre pins that other group members don’t even want to pin. Steering clear of these common errors and adhering to best Pinterest sharing tips will significantly extend the rich of the blog content you’ve worked so hard to create.

10 Quick Decluttering Projects to Organize Your Home

Earlier this month, I came across a quick decluttering projects article on Houzz (one of the best websites ever). I’ve read so many home organization articles with decent ideas that just didn’t motivate me to leap into action and try any of them right away. I read this article and thought, “I could check off all these tasks tomorrow.” No more excuses. I got the entire list done and took all the photos for this post in the same day.

Pineapple Mango Coconut Smoothie

Pineapple Mango Coconut Smoothie | https://www.roseclearfield.com

I’ve never made as many smoothies in my life as I have this past month. The soft foods recommendation for major dental work is no joke. I didn’t realize that soft foods meant foods that require no chewing whatsoever. (It’s not a coincidence that I’m following a soup recipe with a pineapple mango coconut smoothie recipe.) I love soup and smoothies. But when it comes to food, I’m also a huge texture person. And needless to say, I haven’t eaten a lot of raw vegetables, cashews, crackers, or pretzels lately, which has been tough.
