On blogging and some plans.

20130705-135

Hello you guys. I am back:). Hope your Ramazan and Eid were amazing and blessed. It is good to be back:)

Recently I have spent a lot of time thinking about blogging and what I want to share here in the months ahead. I am enjoying this journey a lot. I don’t know where it will take me, but I want to continue and see what it brings. Thank you so much for reading and for following along. It is an honor for me that this voice of mine can connect with you and that you take the time to read it. I can't even describe the sweet messages and emails I receive from some of you readers and that keep inspiring me.

I have a confession to make. I need to find a new name for this space as I don’t like it at all:\! It was a completely random one that I choose many many years ago when I started sharing some crafts etc and then when I returned I just thought it was easier to continue here. BUT I think it is time for a new one. If some of you creative people out there read this and have suggestions, I would LOVE to hear them since my mind goes blank every time I sit down to come up with something unique :\

Also in the plan is a blog redesign, something that is simple and pretty and that makes it easier to find ideas and previous posts for the readers. I have just started planning it so there is still sometime before things get finalized. I am after my husband to do it for me but since he is pretty occupied I would love any links on some good web designers that have experience in blog designs.

As far as content is concerned, I am planning to have a regular schedule for posting so you readers know when to expect new posts. As for now, a regular post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday seems doable and one that I will plan to do. I also want to include more guest posts and introduce some amazing people, businesses and their stories. Other than that this will still remain pretty much a lifestyle motherhood blog, that aims to inspire. With bits of decor, mom and baby style, DIY ideas, inspirations and random thoughts :)

Other than that, if you guys have any ideas or suggestions, I would love to hear them :)

Much love and thanks for reading.

Update: I know i said, I'll be posting every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. But after trying and stressing out over it, i realized I cant keep a fixed schedule for right now. Instead, I"ll be posting 2-3 times a week. Thanks so much for following.

  2. I LOVE YOUR BLOG'S NAME!

    But, if you really want to change it than it can be 'Mama's Mints', since you love being a mom and Mamas usually have mints in their purses at all times :D
    Or, 'Spiralised' because 'spirals' are mostly used to represent creativity and your blog is just the place where this name would fit best.
    Or, 'Art-a-lot' or 'craft-a-lot' or 'imagine-a-lot', the first two are self-explanatory and the third one because “Everything you can imagine is real” (Pablo Picasso). I love the quote I just wrote. Haha. That rhymed :D
    Or, A Pile of Thoughts. I guess this one is self-explanatory too :)

    I'm glad you're back at blogger :D

    P.S. I still stand firm with my statement of loving your blog's name.
