I have a confession to make –
I’m horrible at managing my time.
I run a successful home business as a blogger and freelance writer, can meet and exceed deadlines, yet, I never know what to make for dinner.
I’ve got healthy snacks covered and even lunches (and even the best lunch bag for kindergarten).
But, dinners.
That’s a tough one.

Hey moms!
It’s me Elna – the blogger behind Smart Mom Ideas.
But, I didn’t start this blog. Cathy, a blogger friend of mine, did. I helped her out with creating this blog and the content and while she loved managing this blog, she found it hard to keep up with it and monetizing it.

Figuring out what to eat and then seeing if you have all the ingredients for that meal is a challenge for moms. Am I right?
My kids are in this picky phase lately and trying to feed them healthy kid snacks are always hit and miss.

UPDATE April 2021: This blog is now over four years old and has been getting over 100,000 pageviews/month for years. It has had many, many, many viral posts, and these days I barely spend more than a few hours a week on the site. It generates a completely passive monthly income through ads and affiliate marketing and some people may even consider it a job-replacing income. All by following the steps in this post…nothing more! Yay for blogging!
This blog was started not too long ago (less than five months ago) and I can’t believe how much it’s grown!! I also have met other mom bloggers in this niche and actually had 2 viral posts!
See, I’m not some super duper expert blogger, although I’ve had some success over the past year or two; I’m a stay-at-home mom who decided to start blogging (freelance writing at first, actually) when my twins turned one, and I was facing going back to work. I wanted to do something to be able to stay home, and working online seemed like the best choice. I needed that connection and fun by being a SAHM.

Are you a stay-at-home mom with no time?
That’s me for sure.
I have a toddler son and I recently became a stay-at-home mom.
But, I’m finding I have no stinking time to do anything.
