Can you believe it? 2016. You may have noticed a change to my blog. A year, a new logo. I wanted something fun and colorful. I’m lovin’ all the watercolor stuff that is out there right now – so why not a watercolor logo too? I was back and forth with what direction I wanted my blog to go – I don’t want a blog where people come just for giveaways but a place where you can actually learn something.
Hello 2016
I’ll continue to have reviews and some giveaways but it won’t be the sole purpose of my blog. Reviews are time-consuming – using the product, taking pictures, editing, writing the blog post, sharing on social media. Its a lot of work and honestly I just have too much stuff! I’m only going to share products my family loves. The post will be less review-y(that is totally not a word, I’m sure) and more organic.
I’v probably mentioned this before but I work full-time outside the home and it really takes a toll on me. I’ve really felt burnt out last year. I forgot why I started a blog and really got to a point where I didn’t want to do it. Just imagine working full time – driving about an hour each way to work, coming home to cook, bathing the kids, helping with homework, getting them ready for bed, then blog until midnight- 1 am. I was exhausted – mentally. physically exhausted. I took a little blog break over the Holidays to relax and reflectI’m going to work on loving what I do. Doing more DIY, house projects, and just sharing life.
- More DIY
- More experiences (like traveling!)
- More family
- More of what I’m doing personally – what ebook am I reading, what exercise am I currently loving, what has been my favorite recipe, etc
- Connect with YOU!
- Most importantly, enjoy life!
I hope you’ll stick around for the ride!
XOXO
