Highlighting a fellow blogger!

Niki @ Life as an LEO wife

Check out this post as Niki also created some Printables for you, but you will have to visit her post below to get the free summer camp packing checklist!

If I still had kiddos at home, I would for sure have downloaded these immediately, but I think I may still do it and share it with our daughter and son as they have kiddos and it will be very useful to them.

You will not only find this free summer camp packing checklist but set yourself up with a cuppa tea or coffee and something to snack on while you visit Niki’s blog.

What’s new this week in the blogging camp?

DESIGN TIP OF THE WEEK: COLOR TIPS

There’s some info in the color guide about color psychology and terminology but here are some quick-win type tips:

  • Contrast is really important for readability- this means that the background color and text color are as opposite as possible: if it’s a dark background, the text should be very light and vice versa
  • Try to keep the number of colors included in the design to no more than 3. The color scheme doesn’t necessarily need to be the same every time but keeping the number of colors used to a minimum is better for usability
  • Keep “printability” in mind- colors take a lot of ink but you also want to avoid your design being TOO plain. White space with pops of color will be best for those looking for printer-friendly designs.

Forever and ever undated Content Planner

I did mention the Content planner in this post!

Make sure you do make use of this offer, as it will be gone soon and then only available at a higher price, so why pay more if you can get this now?

Once you have your planner and are ready to get more organized with your blogging business, try the following awesome tip as it will make using it simpler. Find the forms you will use again and again, such as the blog post checklist, newsletter planner, and daily blogging checklist.
Print one copy and take them to your local UPS or office supply store and get them laminated! Pick up some dry erase markers and use those to fill it out. Then, when you are done with the post or the week, wipe it clean and start over. You’ve saved paper and ink – making life easier.
If you know you need multiple copies of the blog post checklist at a time, make a few and get them all laminated.

PS: Do not forget to visit our Featured blogger, Niki @ Life as an LEO wife and the other features items.

Please take a moment and provide me with some feedback as I would love to make this as beneficial to you all as possible, and the only way would be if I hear from you and get your input and feedback, so please talk to me. Thank you

  • Make tomorrow more amazing than today!
  • Just believe in yourself and dream big.
  • Do not give up on your hopes. Take care always.
