Blogger in Focus: Working Mother of 2

Blogger in Focus: Working Mother of 2

I’m Haneen, 27 years old, mommy behind Working Mother of 2. I’m Lebanese moved to UAE 5.5 years ago and now living and working in Sharjah. I have a 2.5 years old daughter and a 10 months old son.

Working Mother of 2

How did you start blogging?

I started in November 2015 when I found myself advising expecting and new moms & answering too many questions on motherhood, experience with my kids, deliveries, balancing life between family and work so thought why not giving it a try. Plus, writing is something I love since ever. And thus Working Mother of 2 was born.

What do you write about?

Working Mother of 2 is mainly about my personal experience with motherhood journey. I only write about things I’ve been through, things I tried before & things I’ve learned since 2013 when I had my 1st baby. My primary goal is to help mommies out there in a way or another as I’ve been through it all and maybe what worked to me, will work for other moms and the things I’ve learned might be of benefit for others. So why not have each others’ backs, support and share our experiences and get to learn from each other. Read more

How did you start blogging?

When we moved to the UAE in 2012 it was the first time I found myself not working full-time, and a stay at home mum! I had long had a desire to be a writer and express myself more than I could in my previous accounting job in London but couldn’t quite find the right outlet; freelancing was near impossible without a portfolio or journalism background.

A B & Me Blogger in Focus: The Thrift Trip

Merry Christmas everyone!! Obviously this is a scheduled post. (I’m probably still sleeping right now because hey, it’s Christmas!!) Anyhoot, while I’m enjoying the rest of the day with family, here’s our Blogger in Focus for this week. The last Blogger in Focus post for 2014!! 

AB&ME_TheThriftTripName: Joy Caasi

Blog: The Thrift Trip – www.thethrifttrip.com

 

How did you start blogging?

I initially started on Tumblr with a few decent followers way back in 2009 and shifted to another platform (Blogger) in 2010. My mentor at the internet industry in the Philippines encouraged me to start a blog and buy a domain name and so I did. I documented my island life when I moved in Boracay last January 2013 and took blogging with me here in Dubai when I moved December last year.

 
What do you write about? 

Other than my personal ramblings and hole-in-the-wall finds, I write about thrift traveling and how to enjoy life simply with the company of people who inspire you.

Tips for new Bloggers? 

Invest in a good domain name if you plan to really move forward in blogging. It’s also decent to have your own, personalized email address.

What are the challenges you face with blogging?

Finding your niche when you move to another place. It took me a while when I moved to Dubai and blogger groups on social networks helped a lot.

What do you do outside of blogging?

I’m a Digital Marketing Executive on weekdays and a hobbyist on weekend – either I take photos, search for places, make sure that my weekend is filled with activities to make sure I’m busy (it gets boring in Dubai sometimes).

Blogs you recommend my readers should read/follow? 

I follow Design Love Fest for DIY ideas, Tricia Gosingtian for travel and fashion, and Secret Squirrel Food for food (she has great Instagram photos of food)! I also follow Pinay Flying High, Fork It Over Dubai, My Fash Diary and Find Me A Break for Dubai Blogs.

3 Random Facts about you

  1. I eat a lot – friends and colleagues can justify my (bad) eating habits. I find happiness in things that go in my tummy.
  2. I easily get fascinated with anything vintage (cars, doors, windows, kitchen pieces, accessories, etc) and ancient cultural heritage.
  3. I think I’m a born artist without knowing it. I appreciate visual arts and can make good ones too (I paint my heart out whenever I’m in the mood).
