... not BAD changes.
Just... move-the-blog-along changes.
Because I'm bored.
I'm bored with writing once a week (ahem, if I'm being good) about random nothings that we do. Might have done. Thought about doing.
Or random crap I wish we had the moolah to buy.
Because obviously, judging by the SERIOUS LACK of comments, you're all as bored with me as I am.
SO.
I'm implementing a few weekly, monthly features. BUT.
I want your opinions.
I have admitted to myself (and my husband along with me) that I (read: we) are serious cinephiles.
So I'm going to post after every new movie we see. I'm going to TRY to post after every new movie we see. And I mean in the theatre and rented.
Or on HBO.
{think: Cinephile Says...}
You get the idea. So far this summer, I could post about Thor, the new Pirates, and Priest. Oh, and then some. Seriously, big ole cinephiles over here.
Like, Michael Bolton-type shizz.
In addition to that, here are a few of the other features I'm contemplating:
** Toddler Tuesdays: because one weekly post on L's activities will be better for *all* of us.
** On My {Digital} Bookshelf: an update about my current reads. I'm thinking once or twice monthly on this one. I think it could be fun to keep track of my progress with reading this year.
** Nailed It: I am NOT about to turn this into a nail polish blog, but I do indulge and paint my nails ALL the time. It might be fun to post when I try a new color?
** Pinnable Me: ONCE weekly post featuring my favorite pin by me and one favorite pin from a friend on Pinterest. Keeping each week's post to TWO only.
** Edible Wrap-Up: An end of week post featuring our favorite meal from the week.
That's what I'm thinking about right now.
Of course, I will sprinkle in posts that are unrelated to any of those mentioned above. When those posts are warranted.
I will continue to throw in the posts about stuff I'm lusting after, crap we're up to, home improvement, but I feel like the blog is in the doldrums.
I can't just post when we've done something EXCITING! YAY! or when I've completed a project.
... because that's clearly NOT keeping you all entertained.
Also, if I don't remember, someone remind me to add a survey so y'all can vote on features you'd want to read. Or not. Whatever.
Fair warning: if you don't let me know what you are/are not interested in, I'm gonna go with my instinct and that may not be on point.
7 kind words:
I think those are all good ideas, and really, I don't think your blog is boring at all! Mainly because I like to just keep in touch with my favorite non-related family :-) <3
I like all of your ideas, but if you're going to tell us about yummy stuff you two make, you'd better give us a link or a recipe!
My apologies. I am a terrible blog commenter. Even those blogs I read and I wish that I could become their best friend, although they are complete strangers in another state. I don't comment. They have no clue I exist. ha! I am a lurker.
Anyhow, I love your ideas. I am most excited about your Nailed It, Pinnable Me, and Liam postings! I do love to see his antics-- sweet boy. I promise (hold me to it) to be better about commenting. Blogging is so fun and it's not necessarily for others, but it sure is nice to get some positive feedback on your happenings. I need to be better. I admit.
Love where you're headed... excited to read along. Love you friend.
oh I like the style aspect with the nail polish.. which I love! I also like the movie idea.
I have been MIA from all blogs - was slammed with work and then was on vaca, but we shall be going to the movies on Monday... so any good movies out there (I really have no clue whats even showing) post before Monday!!!
Fabulous plan for a blog overhaul- not that I was ever bored with your choice of topics but I am certainly a fan of trying new things.... Love the idea of toddler Tuesday- since I have never met your little man I need to settle for living vicariously through your descriptions of his latest antics.... Also loving the thoughts of on my (digital) bookshelf- always up for hearing reviews of what's happening in the literary world and as food is up there on my list of favorite things the edible wrap up sounds pretty darn good too! Looking forward to seeing how you change your blog

I LOVE all of these ideas!! Since I have changed/updated my blog I have been thinking about doing a weekly and/or recurring topics.
By the way, I am going to be doing a post on it, but since you asked I wanted to let you know sooner that I got most of the new things on my blog from http://www.inkobsessiondesigns.com/ She is so helpful, has amazing stuff, will customize and is so much less expensive than anywhere else I looked. I am slightly obsessed with her.
Cant wait to see your new stuff!
I am LOVING the new ideas! Esp the Pinterest, nails, read, food.. well, pretty much all of it. Can't wait to see what you have to share! :)
