Every January, there is a pet blogger challenge. It's a great way to connect with other bloggers, take a look at the past year, and gain some inspiration for the new year. I'm so inspired by this challenge that I tried to do one for the fresh food community and it...
2019 was a year of learning and evolving both personally, with how I approach raw feeding, and the direction I'm taking my blogging business. I'm so thankful for all of my experiences, both good and bad, and I'm happy see 2019 coming to an end. #Kimberly2020 What is a...
Although I grew up writing in journals (that my mom read and lectured me about – jeez), I didn’t automatically leap into blogging when it became mainstream. I started my first blog, My Pet Impressions Photography, when I was trying to build a pet photography...
I've been blogging for more than 10 years. For the first eight years, I had a thin skin and was easily offended, but then I began to see a trend in the people I had a conflict with on social media and that helped me take a step back and look at my social media...

Did you see my post about The Seattle Pet Expo was last week? I received an invitation to invest in a booth in the 2017 Seattle Pet Expo, and I declined. It's expensive. This week was pretty uneventful. I've been having fun posting excerpts of emails I receive from...
