Hi, I'm Donna and I've been blogging here at Blog By Donna for almost 12 years. I started out as a "mommy" blogger but as my son got older (now 17), I've evolved into a lifestyle blogger... blogging about recipes, health & fitness (recent Keto lifestyle), financial tips, the occasional fashion and beauty topics, and much more. I'm so glad you're here, hope you will stick around for a while, and visit often! You can check out my About Me page to learn more!
