There's so much to be thankful for! 🤎 All my si There's so much to be thankful for! 🤎 All my siblings under one roof again, going to bed each night with my best friend, and the best kids I could ever dream of. 

This year, I've really realllly focused on slowing down. Being 'in the moment' with the kids and doing my best to connect with them a little bit each day. To clean the house because it makes me happy but to also not to let the mess get to me when there's something more important to do, and sometimes that thing is just sitting on the couch with my loves. I've learned to work hard at my job but also close the laptop at the end of the day and walk away. I've learned that social media is a great place to connect with people, not EvErYtHiNg needs to be shared and no one goes hungry when I don't post for a few days. 

So many lessons I'm grateful to have had this year because we are better for them 🤎🤎🤎

Let me know what questions you have!
The other day I saw a comment on a post saying tha The other day I saw a comment on a post saying that if you choose to have children, they should take priority in your life and everything else comes second, including your marriage. Well, sure, while it's your responsibility to do right by your kids and raise them to the best of your ability, I think putting your marriage first actually does just that in many ways. Here are a few I thought of:

Putting your marriage first teaches your kids that they're not the center of the universe. We can make our kids feel special and meet all of their emotional needs while not teaching them that they are always first. It would be a rude awakening for them once ther leave our home if we do. 

Putting your marriage first gives your children a huge sense of stability. If there is instability in your life that you can't control, they'll continue to look to you and your spouse as their guiding light through it. 

Putting your marriage first also teaches our kids how they should treat their spouse one day. They'll learn how to handle conflict, how to stay unified, how to sacrificially serve each other. If kids get the massage that they come first, they may very well treat their future spouse that way as well. 

Would you add anything to this list?
What’s something you wish you did more since hav What’s something you wish you did more since having kids?

I remember a time when life was a blur of getting out of the house to go to work, managing the front desk at a small optometrist’s office, pumping in the bathroom at work, and getting home at 6 (some days, 7:30) for what little cuddles David had left in him before his bedtime at 8. And then you wake up and do it all over again. It was in those early days that I couldn’t remember who I was. And even if I had the time to “be myself” again, I’m not sure I would even choose to do the same things I had liked a few years earlier. I was changing and growing but rarely had the time to even think about how or why. 

Fast forward a few years, and I can say it *does* get easier. It is possible to give much of yourself to your family while still reserving some energy to nurture your own spiritual, physical, and mental health. Of course, when you have a baby that doesn’t want to be anywhere but in your arms, that gets a little more tricky, but that phase doesn’t last long, I’ve learned. 

It was during that crazy time when our first baby was still a baby that I said, “That’s enough! I have no idea who I even am anymore and I’m curious to find out.” So that’s when my blog was born. And from there, it took to Instagram and from there, writing books. 

It’s still a balancing act that I don’t get right much of the time, and most of the time it looks more like a pendulum, where I sway from being a great mom to a mediocre one but a great writer and vice versa. But all that to say, even in the baby era, you can take the time to rediscover who you are, what you love to do, and nurture those areas in your life. 

What’s something you wish you did more since having kids?

How I grew my pinterest monthly audience to 900,000 with Viraltag

Now, some of you have probably heard of Pinterest scheduling apps like Buffer or Tailwind and I’ll tell you that I’ve tried them both. After testing them each out for a few weeks I kept hoping for something better. I finally came across Viraltag after a desperate Google search and gave it a whirl. It was exactly how I wanted a Pinterest scheduler to work.
*Update* I’m now at 2,400,000 monthly viewers on Pinterest as of December 2015, having only created Sweet Wife in July of 2015.*


Hey blogger friends, today I wanted to talk about something I don’t normally talk about. I usually leave the blogging advice to some of my blogging mentors but I found something that I think you’ll want to know about. Actually. I’m
really excited about it…

Not long ago I came across something that I NEED to share with the rest of the blogging and business world; and that, my dears, is Viraltag.

What is Viraltag and Why use it?

I think most people who use Pinterest for business know what Buffer is, or maybe use a tool like it. Long story short, Viraltag is a social media scheduler. Why use one of those you ask? Because bloggers and business owners need to get their content out there or else no one will know it exists! And that’s not helping anybody. And you can’t post just once. Oh no, bloggers and biz owners know that their needs to be repetition and consistency in the social world. But this can take a ton of time. Say I have 100 blog posts that I would like to promote on 5 different Pinterest boards or group boards. I would either have to pin each blog post 5 times each, OR I can simply schedule all of them to the group boards using a bulk scheduling option. 5 minutes and done. Now I’m set for the rest of the week and I don’t need to worry about pinning or scheduling other content till next week.

How is Viraltag different from the rest of Pinterest schedulers?

Now, some of you have probably heard of Pinterest scheduling apps like Buffer or Tailwind and I’ll tell you that I’ve tried them both. After testing them each out for a few weeks I kept hoping for something better. I finally came across Viraltag after a desperate Google search and decided to give it a whirl.

It was exactly how I wanted a Pinterest scheduler to work.

Instead of only being able to schedule images (like on Buffer) I was actually able to re-pin pins that already existed on my Living the Sweet Wife Pinterest board. That was awesome. THEN I was able to schedule the bulk of those pins to large group boards I had joined, easily getting my content to a large audience. Creating a posting schedule was super easy and quick on their scheduling page (unlike Tailwind which always ran super slow for me and to this day I couldn’t figure out how to delete scheduled pins if I changed my mind). PLUS I can choose to include the times that Viraltag recommends for me based on my Pinterest Analytics.

How I get my content to 900,000 Pinterest users every month

Now I’m going to get into the gritty details of how and where I pin and expose my content from LivingtheSweetWife.com to an audience of nearly 900,000 (and growing) Pinerest users a month.

Joined large group boards and started using ViraltagJoin group boards.

PinGroupie is how I have found most of the group boards I am a part of. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this site because it allows you to search for boards based on category, keywords, and order by followers, collaborators, or pins. It is the ultimate pin directory. Most group boards give instructions on how to request to join. Sometimes it’s an email, sometimes a comment. If there’s directions for how to request to join, simply follow the board creator and send them a polite little message including your Pinterest email.

Create group boards in your niche.

Creating group boards within your niche is an awesome way to not only build community around your website but also gain followers on Pinterest who are already interested in your niche. It’s also a GREAT way to find other bloggers whose content you LOVE and can connect to collaborate! For example, I mainly blog for moms and marriages and hence I have created the ••Marriage & Relationships Group Board •• and the ••Mommy Lifestyle Group Board••

Get organized.

I use Trello (a free online and mobile scheduler to organize which boards I can bulk schedule on Viraltag, which ones I will manually pin to less often, and which ones I can only occasionally pin to in order to stay within the rules of the board and not clog up the board with just my own content- board creators don’t like that).

Schedule pins using Viraltag

After you get organized and figure out what boards you’ll be able to pin to in bulk, you’re ready to start scheduling! Here are some screenshots of my process…

I have one board where I have one or two pins of each of my blog posts.

Chelsea's boards with arrow

I open the board and there are the pins of all my content, ready for me to schedule.

Screen Shot 2015-12-22 at 9.45.50 AM

From here I click my installed Chrome extension (next to the Pinterest extention) just as if I were on a webpage and I wanted to pin an image I liked. You’ll then see all your pins pop up on a selection page (just like if you were pinning an image from a page), and you can select which pins you’d like to schedule. It’ll look like this:

*hint* not all your pins from the board may show up on the selection page and that’s just because they hadn’t loaded on the page when you hit the Viraltag extension. Go back and scroll through the board and make sure every pin is loaded and then hit the extension again. You should now be able to see all your pins.

Selecting pins to schedule using viraltag

Then hit schedule.

You’ll be brought to the scheduling page which looks like this:

Screen Shot 2015-12-22 at 9.47.32 AM

Now you have 2 options: schedule each pin to different boards individually (which you may want to use for smaller boards that don’t allow pinning as often or for boards of different niches), or select boards under “Bulk Options” which allows you to pin all your selected pins to the board or boards of your choosing at once. I use this a lot. The awesome thing about Viraltag is that it syncs with your boards automatically (they’ll all be listed in a dropdown menu) so if you join a new group board, you’re ready to schedule pins to it right away.

Now Viraltag will already have some times scheduled to pin to Pinterest for you based on your analytics, but you’ll probably want to add more. I added a lot more. Here’s a snapshot of what my cue looks like:
Screen Shot 2015-12-22 at 9.48.49 AM
Screen Shot 2015-12-22 at 9.49.05 AM

See the “Get Recommended Times” option? You can click this to see and add the times when Viraltag says it would be best to publish. I do this from time to time.

From here you’re all set to relax while Viraltag does your pinning work for you! And I don’t mean to neglect other forms of social media that Viraltag is a boss at too, but today I’m just focussing on Pinterest scheduling.

If you’d like to see how your pins are doing, you can click on reports and see images like this:
Screen Shot 2015-12-23 at 8.51.49 PM

You can see that early mornings (and Wednesdays apparently) are not busy times but the evenings and weekend kick up a bit.

Extras!!!

Viraltag is a fairly new company, and what do new companies care about? Customer service! Viraltag has been THE BEST at communicating with me if I have questions because they want bloggers, like me, to LOVE their service. After my free trial was up, I was able to request another week of free, unlimited use just to have more time to make up my mind.

Not only that, but if you’re a blogger and you sign up to use Viraltag, you have the option of getting 60% off your yearly subscription just for doing what we do best, writing about why we love Viraltag! Seemed like a easy coupon to me. Plus, with the 60% off, I can also get commission through anyone who subscribes to Viraltag using my special link right here: Subscribe to Viraltag!

So if now, or in a few days you decided you love Viraltag just like I do, come back to this link to join to help out a fellow blogger and pass on the love!

  12. Catherine Short says

    January 7, 2016 at 9:12 pm

    This is so interesting. I haven’t been very consistent with Pinterest and a lot of that is the time it takes to post to a ton of boards. I’m going to look into viral tag.

    You said you posted ALL the pins from your site to some of these group boards. How often do you find it is ok to repin or repeat a pin on a BIG group board. Obviously it would be bad form to pin too much or repeat pin at all on a smaller board.
    Thanks.

I remember a time when life was a blur of getting out of the house to go to work, managing the front desk at a small optometrist’s office, pumping in the bathroom at work, and getting home at 6 (some days, 7:30) for what little cuddles David had left in him before his bedtime at 8. And then you wake up and do it all over again. It was in those early days that I couldn’t remember who I was. And even if I had the time to “be myself” again, I’m not sure I would even choose to do the same things I had liked a few years earlier. I was changing and growing but rarely had the time to even think about how or why. 

Fast forward a few years, and I can say it *does* get easier. It is possible to give much of yourself to your family while still reserving some energy to nurture your own spiritual, physical, and mental health. Of course, when you have a baby that doesn’t want to be anywhere but in your arms, that gets a little more tricky, but that phase doesn’t last long, I’ve learned. 

It was during that crazy time when our first baby was still a baby that I said, “That’s enough! I have no idea who I even am anymore and I’m curious to find out.” So that’s when my blog was born. And from there, it took to Instagram and from there, writing books. 

It’s still a balancing act that I don’t get right much of the time, and most of the time it looks more like a pendulum, where I sway from being a great mom to a mediocre one but a great writer and vice versa. But all that to say, even in the baby era, you can take the time to rediscover who you are, what you love to do, and nurture those areas in your life.
