Distracted driving kills thousands of people a year. Whether it’s texting, sleepiness, or even eating, attempting to do just about anything else while operating a car means that you could be putting your life and the life of those around you in danger.

Why Metrics Matter in Blogging*
Back when I started my blog I did it purely for fun, as a creative outlet. I just typed up my post and shared it on social media. As time went on and I tried to figure out what I wanted to do when my maternity leave ended. I realised there was money to be made from blogging and social media but as my blog was new, I had to work at it before it would start being a source of income.
