When I sat down two weekends ago in our sunny little den, I didn’t expect that when I left the room a couple of hours later, I would have changed the focus of the blog.
That was not at all the plan.
It looked all innocent: coffee in one of my favorite mugs… the laptop and iPhone and a legal pad on the library table. Me, all comfy in leggings and a big sweater and my favorite plaid scarf.
The scene was set for cozy, not for transformation.
I’d been seduced by Amy Porterfield’s Online Marketing Made Easy podcast episode about creating a content calendar cuz I adore structure.
And I was settling in to listen and take notes. (It was extra delighting me that I was being a student here in our schoolhouse.)
And then it happened.
I listened to the episode, took 7 pages of notes, and created that content calendar.
And in the process, I realized I’d like to expand the scope of the blog.
So I’m gonna.
Here’s what to expect in the months ahead…
A continuation of…
- Bookish commentary
- Posts about self-improvement
More…
- Notes on home life: the domestic pleasures and blunders
- Notes on travel: the delights and mishaps
- Lists of my favorite stuff

So join me here for talk of books. And living the best possible life. And coffee. And pizza. And the floundering ongoing search for the perfect vintage home decor items*…
So, my fellow bloggers… How have you changed your blog over the years? What changes made you and your readers the happiest?
