Blogging is a real voyage of discovery. There’s no user manual and so we gain a lot of our knowledge from our peers. With this in mind, I thought it might be useful to share a few of my favourite things in my blog life.
Here are my favourite tools and services that help me grow my business (a couple of these are affiliate links, but all of these are things I actually use and love!)

- For online organisation: Trello
- For social media management – Twitter : Social Oomph (AM-AZ-ING!)
- For social media management – Instagram – GRUM (double amazing!)
- For designing beautiful graphics, PDFs, Workbooks: Canva (also free!)
- For editing photos on my phone: Lightroom (such a serious timesaver!)
- For high quality, free stock photos: Kaboompics
- For creating and editing videos: iMovie (free with all Macs)
- For brainstorming, feedback, tips, networking, support etc: My Facebook Group for the Mamaprenuer Revolution This is such a supportive group.
- For a FREE online productivity course: My Project Productivity course
- For regramming on Instagram: Repost App

I have just downloaded canva and am loving it so far
Looks like I have a date with the App Store tonight. Thanks loads
Can you let me know Aby more information on the website hosting (TSO HOST). I’m looking to change web hosts as my current server is pretty slow. What package do you recommend for a blog full of images/content etc.
