Become A Gazelle Affiliate and Earn Cash!

05/04/2016 R.C. Liley 2 Comments

Many bloggers earn cash through affiliate marketing. Depending on how much traffic your site sees, the earnings can be just enough for a cup of coffee (fine with me) or a good amount to help pay your car or even mortgage.

Right now, I enjoy sipping my hard-earned coffee, but I’m hopeful to earn more now that I recently joined the affiliate program with Gazelle. If you’re already a member of other affiliate programs, no worries, you can (and should) add one more to your list.

I Made the Top Dad Blog List on RankedBlogs.com

02/10/2016 R.C. Liley 2 Comments

I’m not sure how I made it amongst the ranks of other great dads who blog, but I’m there, currently #19 out of 26!

There are many dad blogs I recognize, and some of the dads I even had the pleasure of meeting in person at The National At-Home Dad Convention last September.

I now have the badge you see above proudly displayed on the sidebar to the left. If you feel like it, please give it a click and vote for my blog. I promise nothing in return besides my continued blogging and gratitude. Well, I guess that is something, so hopefully it’s enough to motivate you for a vote. 🙂

Some days are easier than others when it comes to blogging, and since I’ve reduced the number of days I write a post, I feel less stressed and get to use the extra time with my daughter during the day. Blogging is a wonderful hobby for me, but family comes first…ALWAYS!

If you played a part in helping Going Dad make it on the Top Dad Blog list, thank you. If not, you can vote now or do nothing, no hard feelings either way. Just the fact that you’re here reading this is good enough to me, so thank you for the support to anyone who visits!

Hopefully I offer more helpful reviews, healthy living tips, and fun workouts for any level to keep you coming back. Have a wonderful day and see you again soon!

Self-hosted For A Year + A New Blogging Approach

01/07/2016 R.C. Liley 3 Comments

That’s right, around this time last year I made the switch from my free WordPress.com account to a self-hosted WordPress.net blog using figure out how to transfer everything. It took me forever to decide on what self-hosting service to use and figure out how to transfer everything, but I have been completely happy with Bluehost and plan to stick with them.

What I won’t be sticking to is how I’ve been blogging in the past. While I don’t have much to hide, I’ll be sharing less of our day-to-day personal life happenings and focusing more on sharing thoughts on food/products/services/etc. that was use. I know I mentioned most of this before, but wanted to reiterate it here.

From little things like healthy snacks for kids and adults to big items like mattresses (yes, really, stay tuned!), I want to share our thoughts here in hopes that you’ll find them useful. Some reviews will be by my own doing on items we paid for ourselves, and some will be provided to me at a discount or for free. No matter how we received the item, you can trust that I will give you our true thoughts.

Yes, I said our, Avery is picking up her communication skills fast and is improving her ability to actually explain her thoughts to us, so why not have her help with reviews? And since we’re a close, loving family, Going Mom will obviously have her opinion heard on here too. This, along with other health-related topics like quick exercise routines and recipes are all in the Going Dad future.

Don’t worry, if you came here just for the cute pics of Avery, I’ll still have some on the blog, and there’s always plenty on my Facebook and Instagram pages. Okay, here’s one just because. She looks very unsure of the camera here….

I might as well add that, if you’re in the market, whether a tech newbie or hosting pro, Bluehost has what you need and helps make things easy and affordable. So, if you want to check them out, I would appreciate you clicking the banner below. Whether you sign up or not, it helps me earn a few cents and maybe even dollars, and it’s no difference to you!

Posts will be shorter for small item reviews, but still contain useful information (I hope) to help you decide on if it’s worth it to you or not. I am looking forward to giving this new approach a try, and can’t wait to get started!

Hope you’re having a great start to the New Year! Let me know your thoughts on this new approach and what you’d like to see for reviews, workouts, or recipes and I’ll do my best to provide.

An at-home dad on a mission to keep it real when it comes to food, fun, and raising a healthy, happy family.
