Hey girlfriends, we need to have a serious little chat.

Darn-it-all, but “she two” (Jessica) has had to throw in the towel and call it quits. She has other family matters to attend to and has to let blogging go. Boo, I’ll miss her….weren’t we a cute couple??
So….if I’m going to stick around, I will REALLY need your help! I’ll try this on my own for a while and see how it goes…but, it’s a lot of work keeping up with emails, posts, advertisers, guest bloggers, 5 kids, homeschooling, etc. So, what I’m asking of you is to stop being so shy and start guest blogging! The more y’all send in your posts, the easier it is for me to stay on top of everything else.

Being a guest blogger is a fun way to share your ideas with other women AND if you’re looking for any attention for YOUR blog…it’s some great advertising! (Although, you can’t just full-on advertise without paying…sorry. But, you’re totally welcome to mention your site/shop, with a link.)
There are two ways to be a guest blogger on “Or so she says…”
1. Email your post to [email protected] – Just include an intro of yourself and hopefully (but, not necessary) a picture of yourself at the top of your post. It’s easiest just to copy the html of your post and send that to me. Your posts do not have to be new…they can be a fun idea that you’ve posted on your blog before and want to share with our readers. If you don’t know how to copy the html, just ask. OR, you can just email me the link to your post and in the email include your pic and intro. OR, OR….you don’t have to send the html…you can just copy/paste the whole post into an email. Several options 🙂
Remember to stick to the theme of the blog, “ideas for women”: parenting, marriage, recipes, crafts, self-improvement, product suggestions, etc.
2. Do a post directly on our blog – Sometimes when gals want to do an original post, they prefer to do it directly on this blog. If so, I can email you a “permission to author” and you would do the post here, just as if you were doing it on your blog. Just email and let me know if this is how you want to do it.
Remember that you are always welcome to do more than one post or email in more than one post. Just always keep us…I mean, me…in mind anytime you have a great idea to share. Send your ideas in and keep ’em coming!

So, off you go…I’m testing your devotion right now. Right now. Think of it this way. Every post you send me or request to guest post is like a big hug, which I really need 🙂

I will revisit my posts and see what I can send in! I would love to be a guest poster! Hey…..that sounds funny…… a poster.
Happy Halloween all!

NO WAY! Jessica is not allowed to leave blogging. 🙁
Too sad! You know you can always depend on me for an overly wordy guest post. Hit me up anytime Mariel! 🙂
