Relationships Change as Fast as People Change their Facebook Profile Picture

So for the second time this week I have logged onto Facebook and suddenly noticed that a friend of mine

has changed their profile picture and there is a NEW MAN in the pic.....

I am not talking about them suddenly getting a boyfriend, I am talking about them going from one man in the profile picture to a new man in the picture.

This sometimes really CONFUSES me....maybe I am simple minded, maybe I am behind times, heck I don't know what I am, but I am confused.

The simple fact is you cannot jump from one relationship to another, it just don't work...you have to have break between men/women.  Your heart has to heal!

What I don't understand the most is how someone who has a beautiful family, can suddenly drop everything and walk out the door for someone else.....In the past year I have watched other families fall apart, people fall apart, and lives be destroyed for "lust".....what is sad I have not just seen this in one or two families, I have seen this in numerous families.

I can assure you men and women the grass may be greener on the other side, but the cow is often fatter, and the shit is deeper....it is as simple as that.

If you marriage or relationship is falling apart, STOP what you are doing, PAUSE your life, and take a look at reality.   Some relationships are not salvageable, I get that, but maybe your marriage or relationship is not able to be saved, but the damage you do while you are ending it can be stopped or lessened.

Personally I feel that couples should be required to go through counseling prior to divorce or custody cases....I know this seem far fetched, but as a mother that shares custody with the the father of her children, I can say it would have been a whole lot easier to do if I did not have to mull through the pain of the what he did, what he didn't do, and oh shit his new girlfriend is in the car with him...I'm not ready for another woman to be influencing my children....

You see parents, in the long run it is not about you, it is about your kids.  It is about bridge or GAP you build between the family.....so the next time you go to change your Facebook profile picture/relationship status, STOP think about who it is going to impact, see if there is any way to slow down the pace, stop the damage, and salvage what bonds you have with your last profile picture/significant other.

Behind my lense in Marble Hill, Missouri

So by now many of my friends have noticed, I am working on the City of Marble Hill and Visit Bollinger County's Facebook Pages.  I have always wanted to spend my day wandering around my hometown with my camera, but never found an excuse to do this....Today I had the excuse, I need photos for their pages.

I thought I knew everything about Marble Hill, or what there was to see, but to my own reality I am as clueless as any other visitor....Seriously folks I found some real jewels, that even stumped me!

Bollinger County Courthouse

To say that I have never actually read the sign about Marble Hill in front of the Bollinger County Courthouse would probably shock you, what is worse, today was the first time I have ever even noticed the sign that explains our deep history.  Sigh....this is almost embarrassing for me! 

Alma Fisher School Building

I have always seen the little red building sitting behind the old Massey Log Home, but honestly have never paid any attention to it.  Did you know that Alma Fisher School is setup to look as school would have looked 100 years ago....I am sad that I have never visited this place before!  

Holly's Where you find your Wear

Now I have visited Holly's Where to Find Your Wear before, but never with my camera....When flipping through my pictures, this photo caught my eye.  I had to remind myself that I was in Marble Hill, I had not visited a big city!

Jer's Restaurant

I stopped in at Jer's home of the mile high pie and I met one of their everyday patrons...she was just a charm and a doll to let me photograph her.  She spends her morning, doing the Lord's work, she writes Bible verses on the papers and leaves them for others to read.  Her charm, her zest for life, and her happiness made my day seem priceless.  

The Trading Post 

I laughed when I first saw this couch, as my mother use to have one just like it, then Heather Mize with The Trading Post showed me this Royal Oak couch was actually manufactured at Royal Oak Furniture Manufacturing Inc Industrial Park in Lutesville, MO.  As many know years ago (like 20 or so) Marble Hill and Lutesville, MO were known as the "Twin Cities" and then they merged....so technically this couch was made in Marble Hill like 40 or so years ago.  Classic! 

Deb's Awesome Pizza 

 Okay, so it was near impossible to shoot this photo without taking a bite out of this burger (this chick likes to eat).  I found this burger at Deb's Awesome Pizza in Marble Hill....I wish I could share how awesome this burger smelled with you!.....sigh, I am hungry!

Lodging in Marquand, MO

Disclosure:  in the past I have been compensated visits to these places, however, all thoughts and opinions are my own....Thanks 

Sometimes I feel like I get asked the most unusual questions, but then again I am unusual, so I guess it comes with being unusual....hey, that almost rhymes!

Yesterday, I was messaged about lodging in Marquand, Mo......word is out I am HUGE fan of small towns and Marquand is one of my "favs" (all small towns are my favs).

Anyways, I have spent a lot of time in Marquand, MO.....I seriously should be the Grand Marshal of their parade (JOKING).   So folks do consider me the go to girl for Marquand information....I don't mind and fan or not, I promise I will give you my honest opinion.

There is in fact LODGING in Marquand, Mo....yes that tiny town of 204 (I believe that is what I saw

the other day on their sign) in fact has 2 Bed & Breakfasts and 2 Campgrounds for folks to visit.

The Belmont Inn - I have had the pleasure of visiting the Belmont Inn in Marquand, the story about the Belmont is captivating, the house is beautifully decorated, but you want to know about staying there....Let's just say I would stay there again in a heartbeat and I would feel comfortable enough to take my little monsters with me.


Aunt Kat's Bed & Breakfast  - I have also had the pleasure of visiting Aunt Kat's B&B.....what can I say, I like to visit places!  Aunt Kat's also has a unique story, small town family just wanting to add more to the community.  Aunt Kat's is a bit more modern than the Belmont Inn, does offer river access, and like the Belmont I would return again in a heartbeat and take my little monsters with me.

Castor River Ranch Campground - okay campers, if you have not heard about Castor River Ranch, where have your ears been.....just kidding, I only discovered this place when they showed up in my Facebook feed....however, I will say if you have an RV/Camper you must check this place out.  I ventured out there last weekend for a swim with my little monsters and was amazed.  The campground is small, but it is so clean compared to many other places.  The beach area for kids to play is very very clean, and they offer all the amenities you will need....they are a "full-hookup" campground.

this is NOT my camper...just incase you are wondering! 

DD Highway Campground - now hold onto your seats...because I have NOT visited this campground YET....they are still on my Marquand bucketlist.  I have drove past this campground and can tell you it looks clean, friendly, and is right on the river.  This is what I do know they are a full hookup campground, with tent sites, showers, and restrooms.  For more information call 573-783-2426.....if I beat you to it, I will let you know what I think!

Memories from St Louis Science Center in St Louis Missouri

Yesterday as I dropped in at the local grocery store I ran into one of my avid readers and her family, they were all headed to the St Louis Science Center in St Louis, MO for a last minute back to school trip.  Shamelessly all day yesterday I stalked her Facebook account to see photos, comments, and updates about her day with her family at the Science Center.  I LOVE when I get to see other people enjoy and share about places that I have been to.....I will add it looked as if her gang was having a blast!

It has been 8 months (almost to the day) since I took D-man to the St Louis Science Center for his 5th birthday (wiping a tear) I still look back at the photos and think about how much FUN he had on his special birthday trip.

The St Louis Science Center is the perfect "little boy" trip....seriously!  Their minds will be opened, their energy will be burnt, and I forgot to mention most of it is FREE.......

Photos From Our Trip in December 2012:

Should I hire someone to handle my Facebook Page....

I was recently asked by a local businessman asking me why he cannot get as much interaction on his Facebook page as I can on mine and if he should consider hiring a marketing firm to handle his social media.

I quickly explained to him that social media should be handled by someone that is dedicated to your business,  you need to think of social media as your personality being presented to your customer 27/7.... I think I had the poor man scratching his head...so I later emailed him a list of answers to help him out!

I feel for small businesses in today's time, especially those owned by an older generation and are trying to stay up with the newer generation.  There is the risk of being to "hip" for your older clients and not hip enough for the younger generation.

Here is what I later answered the local businessman:

Marketing firms are great, I think they could get your Facebook page up and going, but I would look closely to who you hire.  I would want someone that would be at my beck and call, someone that would take the time to sit down and explain how to use Facebook, someone that would spend some time in your business getting to know YOU and YOUR CUSTOMER!

I then told him to consider this for his Facebook Page:  his business was located in a town with a population of less than 900, his local school more than likely had a business club or something of that sort.  Look for a teenager that is pursuing a career in marketing, media, or just loves to be on Facebook.   Get with them, talk it out with them and see if you can slip them some money for helping you with your Facebook.

No Luck there....then look for a local blogger, or social media guru (like me), someone that he (or his wife) follows on Facebook  and talk to them.  Many folks love to make a few extra bucks and lets face it running a Facebook Page is not that hard (I secretly admin several).

If still no luck, look within his own business, maybe he could purchase a book on Facebook and someone with his own business could take control over his Facebook.

Then I explained if all else fails then I would consider hiring a marketing firm to handle his Facebook account.

Of course this left him standing with tons of questions, like how much to pay, what do I have them post, how do I know if they are doing a good job.

Pay for Facebook????  Everyone charges a different fee, some charge by the month, some charge by the post.  I personally charge both ways depending on each individual page I am running, some pages are high maintenance and some just want me to look over the page and make a few post here and there.

What do they Post????  Here is the real trick to Facebook, what do they post.  The key to success with

Sample Post I did for the Town of Marquand, Missouri.

Facebook is the person making your post has to LOVE your business as much as you do.  They have to be able to portray YOUR PERSONALITY 24 hours a day.   I have personally became so mad at local businesses for the sheer fact that they come off as buttheads in their Facebook post and I know they really are not....I often have to remind myself that someone other than the owner is running their Facebook Page.
When I am hired to work on a Facebook Page I take a few days to get to know the person I am working for, I then look back over their past social media presence, and then I begin to write some post.  My goal is to always put the business first, even if I know I am going to work harder than what I paid to work.  I know many local and small business owners don't have the money to put out in marketing that large companies do.  In fact many of them can barely afford a newspaper ad let alone to hire a marketing firm to do all their advertising.

A Facebook Page I started on 07/23/13

How do I know they are doing their job????  The first thing is to NEVER lose power over your Facebook, make sure they leave you on as an administrator and do not hire them unless they are willing to take the time to TEACH you how to operate and understand your Facebook including where to find your stats.  In your insights you will be able to see the number of people being reached, the number of likes, new likes, and interactions....Here is where you better be getting what you paid for.  If you are not seeing drastic changes in your Facebook after you have hired someone (especially within the first few weeks) then you better rethink your plan.  I have seen people hire someone and pay good money for them to run their Facebook and the page only increase likes by 10 or 15 over a few months time.....that is BAD.

My last and most important piece of advice is DO WHAT YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH.....your gut instinct it far more important than my advice.  I never want anyone to make the mistake of doing what they are not comfortable doing.

Have a Social Day :-)

Using Social Media in your neighborhood....

I hate to tell someone to ditch all the expert advice, because truly all social media specialist have good advice, but does that advice completely fit your needs. 

I was bombarded with questions last week by a fellow blogger that was asking how to get readers to their blog post.  To be brutally honest, I had no clue what to answer back, I have learned that I must process everything to have a true solution. 

To my fellow blogger, here is what might help….

It is not what you say, but how you say it!  Unless you are bitterly angry, person negativity is normally not, what you want to hear.  So watch your tone on your social media post! 

Do you have conversations with your readers?  I keep my both personal and business Facebookpage public, so readers feel they can communicate with me.  The key to my success is being there for them, I get email, messages, and comments all the time asking for advice. 

Know your target area! I cannot SCREAM this enough, know your target audience.  If you are local and are trying to reach local readers, understand that local readers do not always enjoy the same conversations as folks 1000 miles away.  This is where you have to be very careful about what “advice” you take from the experts.  I follow many social media and blogging experts; I read their post and many I agree with.  However, I also believe I have convert that advice to reach my readers…..I am local and must speak like a local.  (note…I love my local people).

Do you know how to tag people in your conversation?  I giggle at this, but I have seen so many post and think why didn't they tag the business they are talking about in their conversation?   On Facebook to tag a business page you must first LIKE the page and then use the @ symbol to tag the page.  Example you want to tag my page:  Go to my business page Adventures Among Us, LIKE my page, then in your status type @Adventures Among Us in the status and my page should be highlighted.  NOTE…this CANNOT be done through a scheduling app; you must do this on Facebook.  Business pages can tag other business pages, but must first LIKE the page as their business page. 

Tweet, Tweet, Tweet….Do you have a #hashtag?  I have probably been asked a billion times what #TMOM stands for, well TMOM is the hashtag that TravelingMom.com uses to trend on Twitter.  I am the Missouri Traveling Mom, therefore I tweet my travel related post with the #tmom hashtag.   I encourage people that want to trend to either find a hashtag that fits them or create one.  #justmakessense

Keywords!  I have this pretty easy, I write about Missouri Traveling, therefore, my keywords are usually the place I am talking about.  However, if you are just writing about random things you need a focus set of keywords. 

Last but not least…Give it some TIME!  I have been blogging off and on for 7 years, but I really got into blogging a little more than 2 years ago.  Getting readers to your page can be frustrating, but with time, if you have “interesting” content then you will find people landing on your page.

Facebook Revamps News Feed…..WHO CARES?

I have read about a billion plus post today talking about Facebook changes….Facebook does this; Facebook does that, Facebook….blah blah blah. 

By the time, all the post went up by USA Today, Fox, and every other social media expert, Facebook was already planning changes again. 

According to USA Today they quoted Mark Zuckerberg saying “We want to give the world the best personalized newspaper that we can”.  Well there you got it folks; you just learned what Facebook is truly meant to be.  

I am not an expert on Facebook, but I am a social media junkie, I probably check my social networks fifteen times a day.  Every day I see dozens of post, some humor me, some annoy me, and some well I really want to ask WHY THE HECK DID YOU JUST POST THIS?????

People ask me daily what is my best advice for Facebook.  I really cannot give them what the best tips are for them, but I can tell you what has worked for me.

Be HUMBLE – Have a piece of Facebook Humble Pie!  Seriously, who wants to see you constantly bragging about your success?  Are you that successful?  I cannot stand it when I see a business put their statistics up….really we can see how many people like your page and is commenting on your status! 

Be REAL – Computers are not reading your status.  If you want to reach, real people then talk to them as if they are real people!  Hello, how are you doing?  I am so glad you landed on my page, now what can I help you with and please do come back….well that is a good way to make them feel!

Have some HUMOR – I have seen some boring post…I often wonder if people are sleeping when they post.  I am known for crazy photos, often my tongue hanging out, or talking about the crazy things my kids do.  People find humor in my silliness, they connect with how I feel, and well they get a FREE LAUGH! 

Put OTHERS First – I cannot believe how many people forget to RESHARE, COMMENT, and LIKE other people’s post, but do not do it themselves!  Today, a fellow writer Procrastinating Mommy shared my latest Missouri Traveling Mom post; she had no reason to share that, except that she is kind!  Shout out to her, I appreciate the extra traffic and will return the favor! 

Be YOURSELF – Have you ever seen that person in public that you think looks somewhat familiar, but cannot place them….then you realize they are your Facebook friend, but look very different.  Yes, people are faking Facebook as if they are a dating website.  To each their own, I guess, but if you are using Facebook for social media gain, then you need to put yourself out there.

  

KNOW your TARGET AUDIENCE – This is the biggest fail of social media users, they do not know their target audience.  The number of likes or friends really means nothing if all those likes and friends are not your target audience.  I write about travel, family, and how crazy my kids are, therefore, I would not target young college kids or better yet college boys (although several like my page and I have no clue why).  Know who you want to reach and engage those that are similar you to you, and remember to talk on the same level as that target audience. 

Well here is my Facebook lesson for now Folks!

Have an Adventurous Day!

Sugar Buzz Bakery in Cape Girardeau Missouri

It is a Foodie Friday; my kids are hyped up on sugar from the Sugar Buzz Bakery in Cape Girardeau, MO.

We found a tiny piece of Heaven right here in @VisitCape! #tmom #travel #food via beckydavenport

  

This is probably the one of the few times I have allowed my kids and my taste buds be influenced by a commercial, but we saw this place recently on a commercial and immediately Lesse screamed “Mom, we must try it!”  I agreed, as we had to be in Cape Girardeau early the other morning and well what better way to kick off a holiday weekend than with Cupcakes for breakfast.

Our affection or addiction to bakeries, cupcake stores, and sweet shops happened months ago while Lesse and I were on our Mom and DaughterRoadtrip to Chicago.  Lesse had only one place she wanted to visit in Chicago and that was Sprinkles!  Now every time she sees a bakery she tells me “mom I wonder if it is as good as Sprinkles” well Sprinkles being world famous and on the Food Network, it is hard to compare. 

Why Your Business Should Instagram

Come on ride the @Dart..woot woot! #tmom #ftcdallas #dart via beckydavenport

A few weeks back I put up my post What the Heck is Instagramand days later I hopped on an Airplane and was off to Dallas Texas for theFamily Travel Conference only to learn more about Social Networking, and what it can do for you. 

I know we sitting here in the Midwest and Social Networking seems to be just too time consuming.  I get it, I just spent the last 20 minutes scheduling my Tweets, and Facebook status updates for the next week.

Back to Instagram and what it can do for you, Instagram is fabulous, or Facebook wouldn’t have just bought it out.  Now what can it do for you?  Well first make your photos look amazing, I discussed that earlier, share them promptly, but as a local business Instagram can really draw people into your business. 

Example (we are after all the “Show Me State”)  say you are running an Antique Store and you happen to have this fabulous whatever it is come in the store, you can snap a picture of this fabulous item, pick your famous #hashtag, and instantly bomb multiple Social Networks with one click!  Bam!  This makes you a Social Networking Diva or Rockstar!   Instagrammarks the location, you can gain follower, and guess what you can carry on a conversation…..that is just too fabulous for me! 

Now what if you are not an amazing little Antique Store, well what if you were a clothing store, a jewelry store, a bakery…some of my most famous photos are food!  It does not matter who you are all it matters is that you get creative and you get out there to promote yourself. 

Happy Instagraming!

Online Survival Guide by Becky

Who needs an office? I have a coffee table! #workfromhome via beckydavenport

After the bazillionth time being asked by an 80-year-old farmer what the heck is a blogger and what do you do?  I have decided to start posting random questions that I get asked and tips that will help our community get social, get attention, and most importantly help bring in revenue to small businesses.

When I started Adventures Among Us, a thousand or so blog post ago, my original goal was to let people know what was going on in our area, where the cool places are, and fun things to do as a family.  I don’t claim success with that, but I do know it is working.  However, from the get go I saw a bigger need than just me telling people.  People need to be able to find the information, understand the information, and get to the source.  Well I live in the most rural area in the world….just kidding, but I do live in an area that is technology challenged.  Many of the areas around me have poor cell service, poor internet service, and just like myself struggle with keeping up on the online world. 

With that said I have expanded my mission, I have been told that it would be crazy to do this for free, but in reality giving a helping hand has a bigger reward in the end.

Now what the heck is my MISSION, I am going to periodically, randomly, sporadically share online tips for businesses, bloggers, readers, and anyone else that works via online world.

I will disclose I AM NOT AN EXPERT…I will be sharing how I screwed up, what I learned from my mistakes, advice I have received from others, why I dislike certain things, and how to’s on things I learned the hard way.   

I had thought about starting a new blog for this, but then that is just more work for me, and well I am LAZY, plus many of my readers are interested in blogging, social networking, and other things, beside my local travel adventures.   So here we go, you will randomly see post with a label Online Survival Guide by Becky this label will link you to other post that I have put up about living a life online. (there is also a link to the left of this post)  

With all that said, I am NOT an expert, so if you have a tip, question, advice, or criticism feel free to share with me….I am game to talk and learn to survive!

Have a good day,
