Holiday Home Tour with Scotties

7.5 ft. Pre-Lit Flocked Birmingham Fir Tree 400 Clear Lights and Metal Stand

I wanted to take a break from holiday content to share all the good, bad and ugly that I’ve learned over the last few years. If you’re thinking about taking the plunge to be a full time blogger (or really, freelancing/being your own boss), here are a few tips and tricks.
