Coffee Chat - A Sneak Peek! - Her View From Home

Pre-Order So God Made a Mother

Hey HEY!

Soooo – we’re launching our new design on (or close to) the 1st of March. Who’s excited?

Because I am the worst secret keeper on the face of the planet (no, really, bad) I’m going to show you a sneak peek. Because I have to folks. The excitement is making me go a bit bonkers. Here goes.

Ahhh! I know. I’m not supposed to SHOW you. But really, I can’t help it. I’m so excited (have I mentioned that yet) of all the new changes/updates coming your way!

*Clean, easy to find design

*Direct Recipe Links

*Learn more about our writers!

*Video (eek! Excited about this but a little overwhelmed for ALL there is to do with video – even though I used to do video. It’s like the one thing that is really holding me back because I feel like I’ve been “out” of the video world for so long. How many times can I say video?)

*Less categories

*More writers

*Less purple (much less). Request from our writers.

*New logo!

*Make the ads a little less INYOURFACECLICKONME!! (Another writer request)

We have a really cool potential recipe category finder in the works but my budget might be shot after all the requests I make (our web guys rock and are VERY patient with me) so it may not happen by reveal.

Can’t wait to show you all. Really, really can’t wait.

Hey – I know I tell you this all the time. But seriously, thank you. We’re still rolling on our best 2 months ever. I can’t get over how cool this all is. Because it is really, really cool. If you want to join our writing team, just send me an e-mail! [email protected] I would love to chat with you all.

Have a great weekend!

A Letter for Your Wedding Day: Friendship Failures (Coffee Chat)

In: Coffee With Her, Journal

Memories come flying back every time my husband and I travel home to Nebraska. We live in Pierre, South Dakota, and life is good. We get into our daily routines, work on projects, visit with our friends, and occasionally we’ll call back home to check up on the family. When the time comes to make the trip to south central Nebraska we hop in the car and head south through White River, Valentine, North Platte, and then head east for the final stretch of the trip home. It is not a bad trip home, it’s only 6 hours tops, but...

Coffee in the Hills…

In: Coffee With Her

You GUYS! Wow. Thank you again for the Facebook love earlier this week. I got myself back into the video world and asked for your help to share and share and share some more. And you did. Andddddd – it made me bawl. Because, yeah. I was just so thankful. (If you missed that gem of me bawling – well, you’ll find it on our Facebook page.) It wasn’t about the Facebook likes (we were hoping to get to 5,000 by April 12, and you guys helped us reach that goal in about 18 hours). Nope – it was...

10 Emotions that Run HVFH – Coffee Chat

In: Coffee With Her

Good Morning! I got up this morning to write a little something for you all. Usually I would stick to my go-to posts of positivity, optimism and gratefulness, but today I have something a little different for you. My alarm went off this morning and my cat jumped on my chest letting me know that she is starving and that she just might die if she doesn’t get treats this very instant. (If I don’t get up immediately, the cat proceeds to scratch my hope chest cushion and sing the song of her people indefinitely.) So I get up, treats...

Love/Hate Relationship with Social Media – Coffee Chat

In: Coffee With Her

This social media thing is pretty neat and a lot of positive things come from social media. Heck, most of our daily visitors come directly from social media links, so how can I complain? I can’t? I love social media—it helps Her View From Home grow and provides the opportunity for all our writer’s stories to get in front of thousands of new eyes each day. It’s great, it really is…but I have a love/hate relationship with it. While there’s a good case to be made that social media is an essential part of any business, there are some cons...

The New Site! (A Tour)

In: Coffee With Her

You guyssssssssssss! I am more than excited to introduce you all to our new design. New design, meet our virtual friends. Virtual friends, meet our new design. And she shall be called, Kate. Because if I ever have another baby (really, Leslie – will you JUST decide already) I think I would name her Kate. Kate is catchy. Hi Kate. We’re talking about the site here, folks. Not another baby. OH, you got that? Just checkin. Can I walk you through the new look a bit? If you’ve been with us for a while, you noticed an immediate change. If...

Ooooh – so close! (Coffee Chat)

You guys! We were so close to re-launch. As in the new site WAS up and then we ran into an issue. A big issue. We have 4,000ish posts on this site. Say, what?! That’s a lot. And while the fantastic guys on our web team were transferring stories, not all the images came with it. And what was supposed to be a two hour switch yesterday afternoon, ended up being an all day adventure that left me slumped into a pile of mush on the couch bawling. Ug. Being a dramatic female has its downfalls. During my meltdown, I...

Coffee and a Chat

In: Coffee With Her, Featured

You guys. You guys! The past month has been pure awesome-ness. We hit 153,000+ views in January and February is shaping up to be just as strong. It makes me want to screech for joy and shout from a mountain top (or from the top of a large snow pile as that’s the largest mountain in these parts). But really. I have nothing but thanks. Our writers and their articles are being shared and shared and shared again. Our site is being picked up and the word is spreading. And it makes me sigh. Sigh for happiness. Sigh for relief. Sigh...

I’m Doing it All Wrong! Morning Coffee Chat

In: Coffee With Her, Featured

Hi guys. Sooooooo I have a little confession to make. We’re all off the Judgy McJudgerson bandwagon, right? Cause I have a doozy to spill. Here goes. When we started HVFH, I thought I knew it all. When we won our business plan competition, we went out, launched a website and prepared for the views to come in. Two business partners, two marketing reps and nearly three years later, I now realize I know very little and one could even say I’m failing. Failing, Leslie? Don’t be so hard on yourself. You aren’t failing! Yes. I am. I was. But...

Several years ago, Leslie called me up and invited me out for dinner and some drinks – to talk about a crazy new idea she had. I was skeptical. I almost didn’t make it. I was on ‘vacation’ in Nebraska with my parents. My 2-year-old was sick. My baby was needing to sleep – and he never slept through the night. On my way home from the clinic with my 2-year-old and my sister, I stopped by for a ‘drink’. My sister watched a movie in the car with the 2-year old. Inside, Leslie and Heather told me all about...

Coffee at Home

In: Coffee With Her, Featured

Good Morning from my favorite place…ever. The farm. It’s my sister’s now – was my parent’s home (my Grandparents and my Great Grandparents home, too). Guys – it’s the first time I’ve spent the night in years. (Because, yes – our home is only an hour away.) I slept wonderful even though my sister yelled at the bottom of the steps to get me up at 6:45. (Thanks for that – punk.) We were at the Webster County Fair last night – another favorite place. We’re headed down the road to mom and dad’s for breakfast in a...
