Motherhood, gardening, entrepreneurship, cooking,
blogging—Sheri Silver does it all. Mom of three and personality behind the
Donuts, Dresses and Dirt blog, Sheri has navigated her way through the
blogosphere for 4 years, and her online presence has never been so popular.
So what has fueled Sheri’s success? From her landscape
design business to her adventures as a mother, to her experiences in the kitchen
and in her community, it looks like Sheri has one rule: be fearless! Sheri’s
experience as a mom, a home cook, and an active member of the blogging
community has taught her to overcome initial hesitations and to eliminate any
expectations.
Starting anything is scary, whether it’s a family, a
business, or a blog—or all three. And starting a new career, one you know
nothing about except that it makes you happy—that’s scary too. That’s why Sheri
focuses on all things positive. Fear is just another hurdle that we don’t have
time for.
The key to happy bloghood, according to Sheri, is
“integrating what you love to do and what you naturally spend time doing.” Sheri
loves to cook, garden, and share her experiences doing both as a mom, so why
not blog about it?
Donuts, Dresses and Dirt isn’t just a blog. “It’s an
extension of me,” Sheri says. She loves to teach people about cooking and
healthy living, so you’ll find a big educational component on her blog. “None
of us have to be Martha Stewart, but we can aspire to elevate our own cooking in
any small way that we can.”
Sheri aims to help her readers do just that, and she’s
having fun while she’s doing it. She’s even making new friends. A section of
her blog dubbed Blove focuses on her discoveries, whether they’re new vendors
that she loves or new friends that she’s made. The blogger community,
particularly the female/mommy blogger community is a welcoming place, she
assures us.
Maybe it’s her fearless attitude or her infectious love of
her career, but Sheri is making the most of her bloghood, and we can’t wait to
see where Donuts, Dresses and Dirt goes next.
