November 2018 Blog Traffic & Income Report

November 2018 Blog Traffic & Income Report Hey There, Gretchen here, with Fit Mom Journey’s 15th income report! Over the course of these reports, I’ve written them in many locations – from Disneyland, to more remote locations like Missouri State Park Campgrounds. While the places I work change very frequently – in November we were only home for 8 (!!) days, the ability to be able to give back in the form of healthful recipes no matter where I’m working is not lost on me. My goal is to provide you with the best ketogenic recipes and resources, and I… Read More

Keto Berger Cookies

Keto Berger Cookies {THM:S, Low Carb, Ketogenic, Sugar-Free, Grain Free} If you’ve ever lived in Maryland, you probably already know what a Berger Cookie is.

I’ve only had Berger Cookies once, but they left a lasting impression because they were absolutely amazing! Berger Cookies were started in 1835 when Henry Berger came over to the United States from Germany and opened up a bakery… Read More

October 2018 Blog Traffic & Income Report $9,939.20 Hey There! Gretchen here for my monthly traffic and income report for Fit Mom Journey.

How To Start an Email List As a New Blogger

How To Start an Email List As A New Blogger They say an effective way to start an article is to use a scare tactic, so here’s one: Did you know that your traffic from Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, and even search engines such as Google could end completely one day? It can happen. Search Engine algorithms have changed before, making bloggers lose 2/3 of their traffic. StumbleUpon shut it’s doors recently, and it was sending me a few hundred views each day. And with all of Facebook’s troubles, they could definitely shut their doors – or at the very… Read More

Baked Cauliflower Mac & Cheese Casserole

Baked Cauliflower Mac & Cheese Casserole One of the things I’ve missed the most since going Keto, is Macaroni and Cheese. You know, the stuff out of the box, that no low-carb substitute holds a candle to. It’s comfort food at it’s finest, but it’s really doesn’t fit into my Ketogenic macros. Now, I’m not going to tell you that cauliflower is going to taste exactly like pasta, or that this is a perfect substitute. But it is delicious. It IS comfort food. It IS satisfying. It is great on it’s own, pair with a delicious smoked brisket and stevia… Read More
