We're breaking down each social media platform and chatting about how we use it for business purposes. Plus, hear our epic mom fails this week.

Episode 031: Social Media & How We Use it for Business

Join the North South Makers, friends and DIY bloggers Charlotte Smith (from the North) and Erin Spain (from the South), as they discuss all things making and momming. Whether sharing their favorite furniture hacks or discussing the best power tools for a rookie builder, Erin and Charlotte approach making with humor, practicality and a design eye. With 8 kids and ten years of decorating, building, and blogging between them, Erin and Charlotte are experts in the fields of breakfast cereals and power tools, not to mention features in magazines like Better Homes and Gardens and Parents Magazine, and television appearances on Rachael Ray, Flea Market Flip, and local news outlets. Grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine ... no judgment) and welcome to the conversation.

We have made the difficult decision to hang up our podcasting hats for now, and we want to say thank you so much to all of you for listening. This episode explains our decision, and although we are saying goodbye, we are leaving the door open so maybe we will be back at some point down the road. We appreciate you!

Episode 073: Haven Conference 2019 Recap

We're discussing things to look out for, particularly as a new blogger, and red flags you should be aware of. We also chat about ways to handle certain situations you may encounter, along with general ways to avoid getting taken advantage of. There are a lot of things we had to learn along the way that would've been helpful to know from day one, so we hope you find this episode helpful!

Episode 072: How to Not Get Taken Advantage of as a Blogger

We are discussing all of the many factors that come into play when determining what projects to tackle and when, as well as what blog content to focus on. This evolves regularly for us, so we are talking about how we prioritize everything. For example, much of our recent content was centered around the rooms we made over for the FrogTape Challenge.

Episode 071: How We Determine Our Blog Content

Today we're discussing ways to make a rental home feel like your own. Erin used to live in a rental home, which is the house she lived in when she started her blog. Charlotte is currently living in a rental, so this topic is definitely top of mind. There are so many more temporary ways to decorate nowadays, and so many more options than there used to be. Also find out which hilarious bubble solution ingredient Charlotte recently ordered, and what effect that has had on her Amazon suggested purchases list.
