Presents for Your Social Media Manager

by Molly Jo Realy @MollyJoRealy

Whether you do it yourself, for yourself, for others, or have others do it for you, social media is a great tool to connect you with the world.

But we all know it can take up a bit of time. [I guess that’s why they call it “management”.]

Now, I’m not exactly an expert, but I’m also not-not one either. In my ventures with social media, there are a few things I’ve learned that make it easier.

Scheduling is prob’ly the first thing you need to manage. I recommend a scheduling app like … read the rest. . .

Social Media Saturday: Planning is Key

by Molly Jo Realy @MollyJoRealy

It’s that time of year again. No, I’m not talking about holidays (at least, not here on the blog.)

I’m talking about what happens after the holidays. That’s write right.

I’m talking about making a plan for the future of your media.

Hey, if you’re like me (and I know at least some of you are), you’re figuring out how to move forward with your health, your budget, your home. So why not your media presence as well?

May Day

I love the first of each month. I really do. It’s a fresh start, a clean slate.


A chance to set new goals, and look back on the ones I just completed. And we all know April was very good to me! A few job interviews, cookbook sales, Family Game Night… it was a great month.

This coming month, I’ve got a lot going on. I’m going to do a new Meal Memo Jar and this month, at least half of my dinners will include rice. Wanna know why? Because I finally got a rice cooker, and I couldn’t be … read the rest. . .
