Come see a ‘day in the life’ of a full time blogger. We are also a homeschool family of seven, so no two days look exactly the same.
We are getting close to our one year mark as a full-time blogging family. Last year, around this time, with fear in our heads and optimism in our hearts, we made the decision for Luke to quit his day job.
Now, truth be told, we had already made the plan to pursue blogging full-time long before that, but we finally made the decision for real. It was always just an idea before that, but we made the plans for him to actually put in his resignation.
May 2019 marks one year of this crazy adventure. No two days look exactly the same, but I can tell you one thing: WE HAVE NEVER LOOKED BACK!
Day in the Life of a Full Time Blogger: video
Every day in the life of a full time blogging and homeschooling family is a little different. We still have all the usual tasks of making meals, doing the dishes, doing laundry, and dealing with all the little messes and interruptions throughout the day. That is what I love so much about our career: flexibility! As long as I can squeeze in the time to get out some good content every week, the blog continues to grow and thrive.
I hope to go into high gear again this summer, to launch another course and finish up my book; but for now, we are in a season of transition. It is such a blessing that throughout selling our house, buying our new one, and moving, we were able to just stay in survival mode and keep our family alive.

Join over 500 students in learning how to grow your own blog from scratch in my Create Your Blog Dream blogging course. Blogging has been instrumental in our family’s freedom, as we spend our days together side by side. In my course, I teach you everything you need to know to do the same!

Hi Lisa, you asked for suggestions for future videos…I was wondering, are there any other hobbies that you and your husband enjoy? I know that you both lead very active, family-oriented lives, but are there things that you two enjoy, that is a break from the regular routine of life and blogging?
Also, Luke seems to have a lot of woodworking talent. Does he have any future plans that he could share with viewers, by way of a video?
Thanks, Kathy

Thanks! And they are just like all siblings… friends most of the time though 😊
Meg says
Just a question….with your full time blogging, are you able to have health insurance at a reasonable cost?
Lindsey says
Hi Lisa,
I LOVE watching your videos and especially the Day in the Life ones! How do you maintain your energy and stay in shape with all that you have going on plus 5 kids?! I just had my 1st baby, I stay at home and do not work and I feel like I never have time/energy to do anything but take care of baby and keep the house somewhat in order. Do you work out or is it just all of the good food you and your family eat? I really look up to you and I am amazed at how knowledgeable you are!
Thanks for sharing 🙂 -Lindsey

Hi Lindsey-
Thanks for following a long. Congrats on your new baby, how exciting! It can be hard caring for a new born but so fun at the same time 😊 You’ll find that eating healthy and chasing after kiddos is usually enough to stay in shape!

Hello-
I’ve been following your videos & blog for several months and enjoy watching and learning about your story. I’m a mom, grandma (a young grandma 😉), wife and elementary teacher…I also teach adults and children sewing and quilting classes.
I’d like to start creating how-to-sewing videos and was wondering if you could give me some tips on equipment & set up, I have a Quilting Studio at my home and I’m hoping to be able to use my iPhone.
I’d appreciate any advice. Keep on doing great things!
