I’m so happy to have my friend Denise on the blog today! She is the first person who ever introduced me to blogging and the person who first believed that this might be my sweet spot. Six years and so many happy memories (and so much work!) later, I am so indebted to her for opening up this wonderful world to me. She’s been through an incredibly tough two years and I’m so happy to see her writing again. I know you’ll extend her a warm lifeingrace welcome!
When I first started blogging, I did not have a tagline for my blog. Honestly, I did not even know what a tagline was. Maybe you still don’t know what a tagline is.
A tagline is a brief description or recurring theme of a blog, typically found under the title. Taglines have been used in marketing for years because catchy phrases stick with people.
I vaguely remember someone talking about taglines when I attended the first Blissdom way back in 2008. Who knew the importance of such things in the early days of online journaling? Who knew that one day millions of people would be living vicariously through the lives of everyday people and developing friendships with folks that they most likely will never meet IRL (in real life)? I sure didn’t.
When I started blogging in 2006, I thought my title said it all: Living Life Creatively. It would be years before I realized what made my creative different from everybody else’s. And when I did, I added a tagline.In today’s world of social media, where folks flit and fly around looking for a place to land, a tagline may very well be the hook that reels them in. I don’t know about you, but I need to land or be reeled in from time to time.
I am sure that some popular blog writers have chosen their taglines carefully with marketing strategies in mind; but at least one may have picked the first thing that popped in her head. (see below)
I truly am inspired by my fellow bloggers’ taglines; and just to prove it, I have set what I think are some pretty realistic goals based on them.
I plan on saving the world, one room at a time while creating space for my soul to breathe by buying fabulous for less and enjoying the adventure of the good life on a budget all the while remembering thatit does not have to be perfect to be beautiful which sounds like I will be taking a risk, making a memory, living it up, and writing it down as soon as I finish plowing through life in the country . . . one calf nut at a time.
I would really be thrilled if someone could share her talent by setting my goals to music so that I could remember them when life gets crazy. It would also make an awesome YouTube video.
Taglines are a lot like commercial jingles. Some just have the power to haunt. You shouldn’t underestimate their power.

Ok, this post really has me thinking today. I am a new blogger and I have had a question or two from those close to me about my tagline. My blog is Patina House & Studio. I am a homemaker and Artist. I wanted my blog to be a reflection of both. When I was trying to name my blog I was looking for my tagline at the same time and they both evolved simultaneously. Im really not sure which came first. I wanted my blog to be about my life and how Faith has carried me through it. I have had a rather challenging life but still smile. My tagline is – “Exposing the beauty of a worn and weathered life”. And that to me also defines a Patina. Patinas are absolutely beautiful, but only got that way because time has taken it’s toll on them with the natural exposure to the elements. Well, I feel like my life is absolutely beautiful despite the natural exposure to “Life”. Good times and bad.
I really would appreciate ANY advice I could get on this. It’s certainly not a tagline that any search engine would find. Could you please give me your input?
Thanks
Hi Gretchen – One blogger to another, I LOVE your tagline! It made me do a search for your blog, and I’m so glad I found it!
Oh my gosh Kim!! You just made a huge smile spread across my face. I cant believe you saw my pitiful blog. I so desperately want to get the hang of it. Thank you so very much for those sweet words!!!
PS- would love your blog address!
{Kathy} I’m a blogger/writer too. I adore your tagline! Keep it!
Gretchen,
Your blog is beautiful. I think the tagline is perfect for the message you want to get across.
You asked Kim about her blog – if you click on her name it should take you to her blog.
Good luck with your blog – I will definitely be back to visit.
Gretchen, I love your tagline! It is a great definition of patina. 🙂 Denise
Awe Denise, THANK YOU!!! Thanks for an awesome post today!!!
Hello Denise 🙂 Thank you so much for visiting today. Is that grandbaby ADORABLE or what?!!!! KA-UTE! Thanks for the share about taglines. I’m a blog reader, not writer. I started to set one up & did not complete it. Decided at this stage I enjoyed reading more than writing-
What an awesome home office you have created. I hear you about it being functional- that’s what I have too- It is used regularly.
That’s a perfect cabin- Glad God sent you to it-Keeping you and your family in my prayers-
Thanks for sharing-
Dearest Edie:
I love reading your blog. You are a beautiful writer and your words speak to and encourage my soul. I have shared many of your posts with friends and family.
Thank you for introducing me to Denise today. She is delightful and I have added her to my must read blog list!
If I don’t meet you on this earth, I will enjoy sharing eternity with you!
Hugs and Kisses!

Great post. I am so impressed with the choices on some of my favorite blogs and how well they describe what the blog is about. Ichose “Finding beauty in the ordinary, blessing in the extraordinary” for mine.
This confirms what I already knew! I need a tagline. I have had taglines of sorts, but I have changed them from time to time. I can’t seem to land on the one catch phrase that I know I’ll love enough to keep. Some days I’m not even sure I want to keep my blog name. Although I love it, I’m not sure it really speaks to who I am or what my blog is about without an explanation, but I’ve had it since 2011 and to change seems like it would confuse people who are already followers. Lots to thank about! Thank you, I think 🙂 Also, browsed around your blog. So much there – I’ll be back. I love the fabric birds!
Cool! More to think about as I contemplate my next move. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi!
lifeingraceblog.com, Thanks for the time and heart you put into posting and moderating.
I recently published my ebooks and training videos on
https://www.hotelreceptionisttraining.com/
They feel like a standout resource for anyone interested in hospitality management and tourism. These ebooks and videos have already been welcomed and found very useful by students in Russia, the USA, France, the UK, Australia, Spain, and Vietnam—helping learners and professionals strengthen their real hotel reception skills. I believe visitors and readers here might also find them practical and inspiring.
Unlike many resources that stay only on theory, this ebook and training video set is closely connected to today’s hotel business. It comes with full step-by-step training videos that guide learners through real front desk guest service situations—showing exactly how to welcome, assist, and serve hotel guests in a professional way. That’s what makes these materials special: they combine academic knowledge with real practice.
With respect to the owners of lifeingraceblog.com who keep this platform alive, I kindly ask to share this small contribution. For readers and visitors, these skills and interview tips can truly help anyone interested in becoming a hotel receptionist prepare with confidence and secure a good job at hotels and resorts worldwide. If found suitable, I’d be grateful for it to remain here so it can reach those who need it.
Why These Ebooks and Training Videos Are Special
They uniquely combine academic pathways such as a bachelor of hospitality management or a master’s degree in hospitality management with very practical guidance on the hotel front desk job duties. They also cover the hotel front desk job description, and detailed hotel front desk tasks.
The materials go further by explaining the reservation systems in hotels, hotel check-in, check-out flow, guest relations, and practical guest service recovery—covering nearly every situation that arises in the daily business of hotel reception.
Beyond theory, my ebooks and training videos connect the academic side of hospitality management studies with the real-life practice of hotel front desk duties and responsibilities.
– For students and readers: they bridge classroom study with career preparation, showing how hotel management certificate programs link directly to front desk skills.
– For professionals and community visitors: they support career growth through questions for reception interview, with step-by-step interview questions for receptionist with answers. There’s also guidance on writing a strong receptionist description for resume.
As someone who has taught hospitality management programs for nearly 30 years, I rarely see materials that balance the academic foundation with the day-to-day job description of front desk receptionist in hotel so effectively. This training not only teaches but also simulates real hotel reception challenges—making it as close to on-the-job learning as possible, while still providing structured guidance.
I hope the owners of lifeingraceblog.com, and the readers/visitors of lifeingraceblog.com, will support my ebooks and training videos so more people can access the information and gain the essential skills needed to become a professional hotel receptionist in any hotel or resort worldwide.
Either way, thank you, lifeingraceblog.com, for maintaining such a respectful space online.
