Hi everyone,
I am very happy to share this newly launched Growing Your Blog While Managing Your Home , by Jacinda Vandenberg. This e-book has already stolen my heart. I was very excited to get a copy of this e-book to read and review.
From the title you should be able to guess what this book is about. It has a main title with 4 important keywords in 2 big aspects:
Growing Blog
This book tells us how to grow our blog by writing a great content as a king and employing nice design as a queen. Jacinda gives some clear and holistic explanation about how important content is and how to build strong ones. There are also some tips and information about how to get more from the themes and design the are employed in a blog.
Once the blog which is considered as a machine of products (content) is ready to go for a productive factory, Bloggers need to be ready to make it grow. When bloggers have an intention to monetize the blog, this book gives some ways how to do that in some simple and well structured points. I really love this part, indeed as I am just a newbie in the blogosphere. I think, even if you are a veteran, this part should be able to be a comprehensive checklist to maximize the blogs.
As a new blogger raised in a developing country outside the USA, I didn't really understand about some logistics and legalities of blogging world. I just followed what others have done. Growing Your Blog While Managing Your Home gives some legal stuff information which is crucial for all bloggers to understand.
There are also some blogging resources available at the end of the book to equip bloggers.
Managing Home
This book is specifically intended for mommy bloggers  who often struggle to keep balance between the homemaker role and the blogger role. Jacinda gives some tips how to set priorities between blogging and homemaking. There are some time saving home management tips for mommy bloggers to give more time in blogging without leaving the homemaker roles. This aspect is really important for me who sometimes cannot set good limit between blogging and homemaking.
I don't want to talk longer anymore.

Adelien Tan is a mother of three awesome boys and a wife of a great husband. They are a home education family who live in Surabaya, Indonesia, where home education is still very rare. English is her foreign language, but She tries to use it in blogging.
Looks like a good book!
It is an awesome book that answers a lot of questions about some things and terms regarding blogging world and managing my time between blogging and everything.
The more I get into blogging the harder I find it is to balance everything. I’d love to read about how someone else does it and the tips they have. I’d also welcome any time management tips because that’s something I’m really working on.
