Personal FAQ’s: You Asked, Ursula Answered…
When did you start blogging, and why?
In the last week of 2012 I launched a little blog with bad photography, but original ideas. I wanted a creative outlet to share what I was learning and help others get a head start. Plus, the prospect of turning what I love and do daily into a side business was a no-brainer.
How did you keep up with schooling your kids at home, gardening, DIY, and running a business?
Oh I didn’t. I’m not superwoman… I taught my kids early to be useful members of the family, and they truly help run the household. As for schooling at home, their lessons were taught by online teachers in their later years.
Remember that social media often shows our best moments, but that isn’t a complete picture. We are a deeply imperfect family with an often less-than-tidy home. But, as long as we are always improving and put God first, I don’t mind. Juggling life isn’t easy, but it is a challenge that grows character.
