I’m a Full-Time Culinary Blogger: Reasons My Phone is the ‘Center’ of Our Home

If anyone had suggested to me five years back that I would become an influencer, I would have found it hard to believe.

Cooking has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. When I was young, my grandmother would place a chair at the kitchen counter so I could stand on it, allowing me to observe and assist her. Preparing meals for family, experimenting with new recipes, and discovering delightful dishes have always captivated me.

Nowadays, I run my business, Big Delicious Life, from my home, mainly from my kitchen. I take care of all my photography and video editing, actively oversee my website, create content for significant brand initiatives, and balance being a full-time mom and homemaker. It’s still hard to believe that this has become my profession.

Technology aids me in balancing work and family

Technology is continuously advancing, and as a creator who depends on it for my business, there’s always something fresh to discover. From work to baby products, managing the home, and entertainment, technology plays a crucial role in my life!

I depend heavily on my iPhone. It’s my device for capturing photos and videos, editing with applications like Lightroom, InShot, and Instagram Edits, and sharing them with the public. My phone also serves as command central for the various applications I utilize to manage the household.

Google Calendar allows me to monitor multiple family schedules. I can operate our Roborock vacuum with a single tap to keep the floors clean for a mobile baby. Nest cameras and Yale smart locks ensure our home remains safe, secure, and comfortable. A Nanit Pro baby monitor enables me to check on my child’s sleep, and a Hatch Rest sound machine creates the perfect sleep atmosphere for her. I also prioritize self-care by scheduling fitness classes through Classpass. I utilize several tools and applications to streamline my life.

Technology offers the freedom and flexibility to manage my business, care for my family and home, and share my passion for food and cooking with the world. I truly can have it all, and by mastering the technology available at home and while on the move, you can too.
