If your looking for a parent who has made a career from blogging, then check out Holly Homer’s work on the web. I admire Holly because even though she’s been successful she has not let it go to her head. She still treats all bloggers and parents as an equal to her regardless of where they are in their journey. Plus she has made it clear that she doesn’t know everything. She has the ability to make her audience feel like they are on the learning journey with her even though she may be the one teaching a particular skill or knowledge.
Where It All Began
She started out her online career with her blog on June Cleaver Nirvana where we are welcomed to read about her home life experiences. Then since her beloved hometown is Dallas she created She is Dallas and DFW Bloggers with other bloggers to cover area attractions.
Sharing the Parenting Passion
As a mother of three very active boys, Holly is the true blue definition of a Mommy blogger. Kids Activity Blog is one of the blogs that covers her and two other bloggers writing about various activities they’ve done with their kids. Plus you can find her discussing parenting topics in her Parenting Lounge which airs on Tuesday Evening at 9pm. Trust me when I say that these hangouts have become a great source for laughter and fun times.
Sharing the Blogging Knowledge
Holly is a down to earth woman who loves to share her knowledge with others. She not only shares her own personal experiences as a parent, but loves to help other bloggers. She is also employed by Business 2 Blogger. Her newsletters are always filled with many tips and tricks of the trade. She has created many blogger advice videos on her Youtube account. (She also has other parenting videos too!)
Personal Questions Answered
Question One: What is your biggest issue with working from home while trying to raise your kids?
Her answer: My biggest challenge is not allowing work to creep into everything. It is my first impulse to write about everything we do and record every moment together, but that takes me out of the moment of LIFE. To combat that, I really try and keep office hours for computer time – most of those are before the boys get up. I also really work at NOT taking pictures or thinking about how I would write something for the majority of what we do together. My boys didn’t ask to be the kids of a blogger and I need to respect that not everything is a blog post.
Question Two: What is your absolute favorite activity to do with your family and/or kids?
Her answer: My boys are in the middle of a four square craze. We have made a grid on our driveway with chalk and have modified the rules so all of us can play “competitively” including my youngest {and even grandma}. That is really fun to play since I was a huge 4 Square player as a child. But my absolute favorite thing to do as a family is in the evening, we turn off all the lights in the house and everyone grabs a laser gun. We play team laser tag – mom/dad against the kids. The kids have improved a lot in their strategy and now it is almost impossible to win!
