Welcome!

Hi. I'm Dawn. I am married with two active kids, a boy and a girl. I enjoy reading, photographing family activities, and preparing home-cooked meals. My education is in business, my working background is in accounting, and I love creating spreadsheets to organize just about everything.

I started blogging in 2013. During my blogging journey, I realized how much I enjoy digging into the technical side of blogging and helping other bloggers to understand analytics and the behind-the-scenes workings of WordPress.
