And this is owned by none other than Niko of ARTsy Niko, a working mom and a part time blogger. Huh?! Did I say part time? Well, I don't think so, because this lady is maintaining nine blogs!

A Walk Through My Notebook - Reviewed

A Walk Through My Notebook as the title says seems to be the owners online diary of her experiences and thoughts about everything under the sun. I can imagine the owner having a cup of coffee in a coffee shop with her pen busily writing down her story. Surely, the choice of ones template reflects as that of the owner. And this one for me is a clear example of it.



The blog is clearly a popular one having visitors from all over the globe like United States of America, Canada, Italy and many more. You can also exchange links and badge if you want to get to know her more. An Earning Online tab is also located at the topmost part of the blog which I think links to her another blog that deals with earning online.

113Tidbits - My first encounter

The 113Tidbits is owned by the blogger Tony Greene aka "tonyknuckles". It is my first time to visit his blog. He is a 42 year old student that is a freelancer and a blogger at the same time.

First impression of the home page is more like a business site. The template used is plain white with the use of blue font. It encompasses masculinity and his seriousness of having to be in this blogging world. On his sidebar you can see different advertisements ranging from Adigitze, Amazon, Google Ads and different hot stuff which you can buy online. There are also categories on the top most page like Moneylinks, which I think talks about sites that you can earn from. It also has tabs for Fashion, Watches, Gold, Android and Videos. 113Tidbits can also be found on Facebook and Twitter. Enjoy browsing and learning new things from his post and get hold of the latest gadgets from his site.

WAHMaholic...the "IT" designer

When I started to blog, I always get bored with the template that I am using. I always change the theme and sometimes ended up frustrated because I can't get the design I want. The design of the blog or the theme is very important factor as it leaves a mark to the readers or visitors who dropped by your site. So, if you the owner is not excited to see your site, what more your readers and followers? When I am given the chance to have my template changed, it was really a blessing for me.



The design of this blog is courtesy of the genius and artistic talent of Kaye of the WAHMaholic. She is really a pro when it comes to designing blogs and the likes. When you visit her site, you will be amazed on how beautiful her site is despite of the simplicity of it. I love the combination of the colors that is very pleasing to the eyes. You can browse through her projects there and be mesmerized. She also offers her readers and followers free buttons that you can just grab and place in your own blog. Or if you want to have your own customized design you can just contact her as she also do designs for a very reasonable fee. Visit her and experience a different level of blog design.

Another Baby of sis Bambie is the My Thoughts, My Heart, My Turf. This is the host blog where I won.

She is a simple lady with simple wants and needs. A lover of R&B, Acoustic, Alternative and EMO Pop makes her a music lover as well. Reading through her favorite movies like Serendipity, A Walk to Remember, Love Affair and many more, illustrates that she is also a romantic gal.

As she is a freelance writer, you can view her Odesk profile too located on the sidebar of the page.

Love her and get to know more about this very interesting lady by following her on Twitter and adding her up as a friend on Facebook.

Bambie....The Princess Within

I have known Bambie of I am a Princess..all the girls are from her contest which I've won the first prize. From then on we frequently exchange messages and her blogs became my favorite must read. Being a simple person makes her loved by so many in the blogging world. She is a very talented and creative writer having to write a gazillion words everyday, which I must say I can't do...So I really admire her outpouring talent and intelligence.



The site is colored purple with a simple design that epitomizes the owners simplicity as well. The sidebar have different forms of advertisements such as Adgitize, Entrecard, Google Ads and many more. And if you are looking for online earning opportunities, you can simply scroll down as the list of the sites are also enumerated there.

You can learn a lot from it and you can get to know more of her through it as she relates her personal experiences, opinions and views to the subject matter being written.

Hire Filipino Writers Reviewed

Another blog owned by Mommy Rubz is the Hire Filipino Writers blog. As I click through the link, a page which talks about Mommy Rubz will caught your attention. There are no other pages to click on and the site has a business like approach. So I can say that it is really made that way so that advertisers and the likes will have the impression that she really means business. The sidebar lists a number of services offered by the owner like Site review, Text Link Ads, Banner Ads, Host Giveaways, Social Bookmarking, Blog Hosting, Wordpress Setup and Blog Migration.

Her about me page tells all about how professional she is able to manage 40 blogs all of which have their own domains. I really can't imagine how she is able to update all her blogs and do all the business thing, and for that I really salute her. How I wish I can somehow have 10% of her talent so that I can be successful too in this world. I am really impress with her accomplishments. So if you want a very reliable blogger to handle your needs just go to Mommy Rubz and she will do the rest in no time.

Filipina Mom Blogger Reviewed

The Filipina Mom Blogger is owned by non other than Mommy Rubz. She is a mother of three beautiful kids and known to blogging world. She is a loving mom and will do anything for her children.

You can easily find what post you like to read as it is listed in categories like announcement, contest and giveaways, moolah musing, promos and freebies, online finds, tags and memes, and many more.

My Most Memorable Experience As A Blogger

Two years ago I wasn't aware that someday I can have my own blog and writing my views on it. I have tried to have not one but six blogs with different categories only to find out that it wasn't easy maintaining one...hahahaha!!! So naive of me! So, I have merged it and came up with one. And eventually through much exposure and reading other blogs I have added another three. The lhafang, simplysassyseth, mom's free will and this one the As Sweet As Candy are all my babies. They are all special to me but one stands out from them and it was this blog. Why?

1. This blog is the one to reach 100 plus post.
2. This blog has a page rank 2.
3. This blog has the most followers.
4. This blog gave me the most dollars!!!!hahahaha!!!

In connection with that, I have also met a lot of people that some became my friends and online buddies. Reading through their posts makes me feel that I am part of their lives. For two years that I am not that in touch with my friends, I am able to share my opinions and experiences with them. Blogging opened a lot of opportunities for me to earn and learn. It gave me a sense of belonging and the freedom to write whatever I want to.

And to answer the question of what my most memorable experience as a blogger, hmmm....I think it was when the time sis Bambie held an online contest and it was that time that I am also new to this stuff. I can't believed when I won the first prize!!!It was the first time that my heart pounded so fast. It was the first time that the smile on my face never goes away. It was the first time that my hands was so cold because of excitement. Ooohhhh.... I will never forget all of it....You will never really forget your firsts....hehehehe...
