I wanted to stop for a moment, to say you’re doing an amazing job! Just wanted to get that off my chest before I begin our day. I need to make two errands for The day, with one being Target!!
However, I instantly remembered my last melt down in Target and the anxiety kicked in…. so with being said , I know I am going to make Target the last stop.
I laugh…. bc what parent has not had a Darling Kiddo loose all muscle movement , laying out in the middle of a store!?! ( If you know, then you know 🙃)
If your’re not surf boarding your kiddo out of their favorite store, are you really parenting?
Hey Friends , Hey! It’s been a while. A very loonnng while. But to say the least I’m back, refreshed and ready to write on my own blog, again. For my friends that did not know and wonder where I’ve been. Mommas been workin’! No, but really when I started freelance writing for other bloggers and small businesses, what I thought was going to just be a “little” side hustle, turned into a full fledged job! So, with that I just didn’t have the mentally ability to write for my own blog.
I am still writing for other bloggers and small businesses but have now narrowed down my clients to select posts. This will allow me the mentally ability to write for my own blog, as well.
I am also still doing Pinterest Management for entrepreneurs and I also work at an amazing Consignment Boutique, that’s brings me incredible joy, a Darling atmosphere and Dashing co-workers and shoppers.
So, Momma was just tired and needed a break. And unfortunately, my own blog was neglected. But friends, I’m back!! With more chaos, more tricks, hacks, and resources.
So grab your wine, tea, or water and let’s continue documenting sustainable chaos. #chaoscoodinators, let’s go!

Be Your Own Motivation and make sure to love yourself and treat yourself to a TIMEOUT.Happy Birthday The EDIT Chaos! I’m super excited to say that today marks my blog anniversary that I (officially) published this blog. Although, the thought of blogging entered my mind years ago, I however did not believe in myself years ago. I, remember sitting on the floor in my bathroom crying, while feeding the baby to write my VERY FIRST blog post. I felt defeated and exhausted with everything that was going on in the world and my life.

I was very happy with how far I had come, but unsure with my emotions of gratitude. I remember thinking to myself, I can do this, I can write a blog. I wanted so badly to write and to express my feelings, to share my cries, my knowledge, to have someone to (talk) with. I had this feeling of emptiness, but also a feeling of grate-fullness. It’s hard to explain. BUT, throughout the feelings I decided to write. Although, I do not have A lot of published posts, I DO have a lot of journaling. Some I will share, eventually and some that is just for me. Those that are just for me, I wrote in the mist of ALL my emotions. Writing the sh*t out was my form of self care. It was my TIMEOUT. Time, to think, to cry, to laugh, be grateful, find peace, but most of all, find Myself!

Fiverr is a great place to make money from home. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s an online market place where anyone can sign up and sell and buy services, known as ‘Gigs’ from $5 upwards. Trust me, there will be a Gig that you can sell onFiverr to make money.
DON’T PANIC if you can’t do any of these. This is just a tiny example. There are many many more Gigs created and sold regularly. To get an idea, browse around and take a look at the type of products and services people are selling. Some are just plain crazy and some are so simple, anybody can do them.
Plan Your Gig
To get started, you need to plan your Gig. The key here is to let your imagination run a little wild and see what you can come up with. Make a list of skills that you have or ideas you could use and run some searches on Fiverr to see who else is doing something similar, how much they charge, how many reviews they have etc. This will give you an idea whether there is a market for your product or service.
Don’t worry if somebody else is already selling the service you want to sell, that’s a good sign that there’s a market for it. You just need to make sure you stand out from the crowd.
Think about what you are good at or what you are interested in. If you feel you have no skill, then learn one. There are so many Youtube tutorials available these days that will teach you a skill in no time. That being said, many of the Gigs on Fiverr don’t require much skill at all so it really is open to everybody.
Once you’ve taken a look around Fiverr, familiarized yourself with the Platform and set up your freead, it’s time to get started.
At this point, if you are still unsure of where to start, you can learn from someone who is already making big money on Fiverr. This is something I always do, learn from someone who is already doing it!
Create Your Gig
Once you have decided on what you want to sell then it’s time to create your Gig. Keep your title short but punchy and carefully choose your words for your Gig title. Here are some good examples of the type of title you should think about:
I will create 3 amazing Pinterest graphics for you in 24 hours.
I will create a professional CV to help you land your dream job.
I will create a stunning line illustration.
I will create the perfect instruction manual for your product.
Create Your Gig Image
If you take a look through the Gigs on Fiverr you’ll see that some images stand out better than others. Use these to inspire you to create your own image.
Either way, you need to make sure that it looks professional – this will be your shop window!
Your Gig Description
Again take a look at other descriptions to see the type of things that people write. This is an important part of your Gig and you want to get it right so don’t rush it. Your description is what will help somebody decide whether to spend money with you or choose somebody else to do the job.
Sell yourself! Write a confident description that makes the customer feel that they can trust you to do a great job in the time specified.
Imagine that you are the customer and ask yourself the question, would you buy from you?
Tags
Once you’ve written your description, fill in your tags to ensure that your Gig will come up in the Fiverr results when somebody searches for those keywords. If you are unsure what tags to use, type in some keywords in the search bar and see what Gigs appear. This will give you an idea of whether your keyword description is correct.
Delivery Duration
Next set your delivery duration. This is the time you promise to deliver your service in. Make sure you can deliver confidently on time.
Getting Orders
Once you have set up your Gig you are ready to start taking orders. However, don’t expect the orders to just roll in, you may need to do a little more work.
Here are a few ways you can increase your chances of getting your first orders.
Set up more than one Gig.
Promote your Gigs on social media.
Get some friends or family to order gigs from you and leave you great reviews.
Create a lower price Gig for services to help land your first Gig. Then increase your services after you are confident with your turnaround.
Use Buyer Request (This is essentially the tool that helps you to find buyers who are looking for the Gigs you are offering. You can then send them an offer). This is one of the best ways to get your first orders on Fiverr!
Getting Paid
Getting paid is really easy. When somebody places an order with you they pay Fiverr, then when you complete the order, Fiverr pays you 80%.
So that’s how you can start making money on Fiverr. Once you get going, how much money you make is really up to you and the effort you put into it. It’s a simple business system that anyone can have a go at for free so why not give it a try!

Hey, you HEY!! Why are you not thrifting? It’s great for the environment, saves you money, and helps support the local community. I’ve listed a few things that I believe are reasons to start thrifting.
Thrifting helps our environment, plain simple. As someone with a fashion degree, this has always been a very important reason that I try to limit my consumption (or find sustainable ways to repurpose clothing). The BEST and most sustainable way to shop is by shopping secondhand! Whether that’s Goodwill, Salvation Army, a local thrift shop, Plato’s Closet, etc. you are helping the environment.
If you didn’t already know this, the fashion industry is the SECOND most toxic industry right behind oil/petroleum. You probably would’ve NEVER thought that to be possible! I remember seeing the entire creation and consumption process in the documentary True Cost and if you need any more motivation on top of this post, you need to watch it. It really allows you to think about our actual wants vs. needs
You’ll also be sad to find out that most of your clothing that’s donated to Goodwill, or other big chain secondhand stores, is sent overseas to be sold. This hurts local economies and takes away from artisans who need to sell goods to survive! Buying from these thrifts shops helps to keep these items out of landfills and out of resale markets in third world countries.
HUGE reason. Kids grow in the middle of the night, really you kiss and tuck a 2feet tall person into bed and wake up to a 4feet tall person. Believe me, I’ve seen this happen. Secondhand is always a great option for their growing bodies. You can find some great secondhand clothing, if you take the time to look.
I know that a lot of people think of Thrifting as old ragged, ugly clothing. But if you give Thrifting a try, I promise you will find some great treasures. Hey, you might even find your next side hustle! “One closet purge, is another closet treasure”-Closetevict
