Change is underfoot. For some of us, school is just around the corner. For others, it’s around the corner thats around the corner, that’s behind the other corner. The point is, things are moving forward.
Even if your school doesn’t start until September–these are the last days. The last days of summer.
Hurray!!!!
Wait, am I the only one cheering? I’m sorry. I’m the girl who gets giddy at Staples looking for No. 2 pencils and three-ring binders. I had to contain that excitement as a kid because I knew it was dorky. Now I just embrace it. I’m just a dork, standing in front of a Staples store, saying I love a good pencil.
I look at the beginning of the school year much like I do the beginning of the New Year. Hustle bustle, resolutions up to my ears, and organization! Labels–color coding–fresh pens. Aaaah. Can you smell it? Can you smell the glorious scent of new paper?
Oh wait. We’re going paperless now, aren’t we? Shoot.
Well, maybe you are going paperless. I’m not sorry to say that my love of paper knows no bounds. As much as I organize my iPhone apps, I still feel better having a paper planner with highlighters and asterisks around important things. And maybe the occasional sticky note–you know, for the really important stuff.
I foresee this love of paper being one of the things that teenage Coco says in exasperation: “Oh MOOoooOOOm! You’re so old fashioned!”
Hmmph.
Moving on.
So yes, I’m excited about school starting because it allows me the momentary fantasy that my life will become more organized.
And maybe that’s just a pipe-dream, but I do know that blogging is always better in the Fall. If you’re a blogger, you’ll know what I mean. People are more apt to read blogs in the fall rather than the summer. Plus, there’s all these fun things to talk about like school, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Woohoo!
Which brings me to the point of today’s post. I would like to get on a better blogging schedule. It’s been sporadic over the summer, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s summer. But I do hope to be a bit more scheduled this fall. Which is why I’ve started eating Activia now.
Ahem.
So. I need your input. I need to know what you want to hear about. Here’s my plan. I’ll blog on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Monday will be a kickstarter–maybe something funny or inspirational, k? Wednesday will be a vlog about whatever the heck I want to talk about (I’m like, SO into vlogging right now!). And Friday is up for grabs.
I’m trying to figure out what you guys like. Do you like fashion? Food? Hearing me whine about my first world problems? Open up my deepest and darkest? Act like an expert and show you how to do stuff? Tell you about the latest and greatest I’ve discovered? Once upon a time I even did home decor stuff {gasp!} Come ON! Tell me!
Please. Input. I don’t know what you want. I’m just a girl, standing in front of my blog, asking you to love me. Or read me. Both, actually.
Now, while I have your attention–go follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and ESPECIALLY Youtube!!
Ok, lovelies! Please give me your input. It is ESSENTIAL to me at this point ????
I have been following your blog for a while now because I think you are pretty funny!! So I think you should blog about whatever you randomly discover and include some food posts too, also maybe some book recommendations! I always look forward to seeing your new posts, keep it up!!

you are getting more witty than ever! you are alright in my book! just be real and i will keep reading!
I like food…but really I just enjoy reading everything you come up with. You have a great writing style – so friendly and funny and lovely. Just keep up the blogging and I’ll keep reading. ????
Okiedokie. I shall try to do more food posts. But that means I have to stop serving cereal for dinner and start cooking haha!
I love the Notting Hill reference. ???? I just started reading your blog because I’m friends with Candace and Laura who talk about it all the time while our girls do gymnastics. I love food ideas because I hate to cook and even worse I hate shopping and meal planning so anything that has to do with those two things and how to make my life easier, I’m down for. ????
Well hi there! So you must know an awful lot about me if you’re friends with Candace ????
epic cook indeed!
All I really wanna do is zig a zig ah.
Wait…you don’t like my fashion posts? hahahaha thanks for becoming such a great supporter of my blog! I will aim to be myself in every way possible ????
Personally, I enjoy reading about your first world probs! Ha, you have a great way of making them humorous and it’s just the way to make me laugh! I think you are somewhat cynical (?), like me, and obviously not a neat freak (pic from FB), also, like me! Plus, I thoroughly enjoy bacon! ????
Ok, more of that then for sure! Thanks for the encouragement ???? And yes, I am not a neat freak haha
do you really want to know what i want you to write about? why is it so hard to get a basic commitment from any one one here after all ive been on here for a few years now?
I enjoy the deep, heart changing stuff. I am an introvert after all. In reality though, I would read anything your write. I vote for letting your light shine and sprinkling it with quirkiness. Love you!
Thanks, Karee! You inspire me to be more deep and heart changing ???? Wish I could have a slice of your brain for those sort of posts–you should start a blog!
You know how much I love the good deep stuff, Hilary! But you are so fun to read and watch that anything you do is worth a look!!!
School walk through is Tomorrow (actually today I suppose) and first day is Wednesday! GASP! And yes- I am anxious to get a routine down with my blogging and reaching and writing…
Thanks for always supporting me, Chris! You always encourage me–no matter what.
I’m a catch-all kinda blogger – whatever is out there, I enjoy reading. But what I like the most is the open and honest bloggers, that keep it real ????
Me too. The minute something starts smelling fake I book it.
