If you have been following Laugh With Us Blog for a while then you understand that I started the site as a business with the hope of adding income to our household.

Burnout
Not too long after I started my blog I was sitting with the two seasoned bloggers that I knew. One of them asked the other, “Have you burned out yet?” “No,” answered the other. “You will!” exclaimed the first one with authority.

My laptop crashed!
What does a blogger do when her laptop crashes? Well freak out of course. I’m pretty sure I lost everything and though there are a few files on there I really wish I had, none would be worth paying a lot of money to recover. Mostly it’s just a bummer. The laptop was mine, and… [continue reading]
