Social Media - How on Earth did we get along without it?

Thank you to BING Social Search for sponsoring my post about social media. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do.

How has social media changed my life? I think the better question is how hasn’t it!

Without social media I wouldn’t have this blog – which for me is way more than just a blog! I love being able to share my ideas with others and to get their feedback. When someone leaves a comment on my facebook page or my blog saying that I’ve helped them in some way it really makes my day!  Without social media I would never have had the opportunity to try so many amazing products and share them with my readers.  

It has connected me with lots of other Moms who have the same ideals as me. I remember when I was considering cloth diapering. No one I knew here did it, and at the time I didn’t know that much about it. Thanks to social media I was able to research and find out about a lot of different options, as well as connect with a lot of other parents who were going through the same journey as me! There is nothing like a little support to keep you on the right track!


From diapers to homemade household cleaners, it allows me to research things much more easily. I remember growing up having to spend hours at the library if I wanted to research a topic. With a toddler, this is impossible of course, so having the internet at my fingertips lets me find new recipe ideas, parenting tips, and more. A quick shout-out on facebook or twitter always generates some great advice!


We also love the restaurant recommendations you can get online now! When we’re going on vacation, it’s easy to see what other people thought of all of the local places to eat in that town. It makes it so much easier to try new places when you can see what other people’s opinions!

How do you use social media?
