new around here!

First and foremost, new blog design! Hooray! (If you're reading this from your phone, scroll to the bottom and click "view web version" to get the full effect.) Brielle from Ready or Not Design did my blog makeover, and she was so great to work with. She worked hard to make sure I was 100% happy, and didn't even complain when I changed my mind about the social media icons FIVE TIMES. Thank you so much, Bri! We're still ironing out a few little kinks, but I love how fresh and new everything looks around here.

Next up, you might have noticed I switched my comments from the regular blogger commenting system to Disqus. I held off on this for way too long, and I have no good reason why. Disqus was installed in 60 seconds tops, and it's so much easier. Now people reading on their phones can comment! And it's easier to get the replies I type to you! And it's easier in general! If I could go back in time and pick one thing to tell my future self, it would be to switch away from blogger commenting immediately. (Actually, I think I'd tell myself to not eat out on November 4, 2012. You're about to get food poisoning, Brooke! Don't do it!)

And third, I have a quick little survey about this blog that I would LOVE my readers to take. It's only one question and should only take a few seconds. The answers will help me create content that you love the most. Click HERE to take it, and thank you so much in advance!

P.S. The picture above was from this blog post about magical unicorns.

Did you take the survey yet?

Happy Monday!
