What Is Your Blog About?
Hearts and Laserbeams helps small business take their design and illustration to the next level, and our blog covers all aspects of the small business lifestyle. From parenting posts to design and small business tips, cooking to what we’re watching on TV, it’s documentation of the successes and difficulties that come with being a parent and running a design studio at the same time.
What Makes Your Blog Different?
The Hearts and Laserbeams blog has been around since 2002. I also love that posts are never completely whomp whomp/Debbie Downer feeling, even when talking openly about tough subjects like my repeat miscarriages.
Where Do You Blog?
In my home office, mostly, but lately I’ve been taking advantage of tiny free chunks of time by blogging on the go with my iPhone’s WordPress app.
How Do You Take Your Coffee or Tea?
I take my coffee with sugar and creamer ’til it’s tan, and I take my tea back to the kitchen to exchange it for coffee.
