welcome to the new peace ♥ lauren!

i've been working on this blog design for a little while now,

and i just adore it. it's tre "lauren". i hope you like it too!

the new look is a tribute to my new mindset, my mindset about blogging. 

i don't know about you guys, but sometimes i feel like blogging is eating up my social skills. {you don't feel that way? oh... well go ahead and skip to the ending then!} i'll post and then i'll read other lady's posts and it will be a completely enjoyable, yet one-sided interaction. and that just stinketh in my mind.

also, travis misses me when i blog.

poor guy can't get enough of me!

my thoughts on this are very unorganized... if i sound like a rambling lunatic please, don't mind me.

i guess my point is that i need to remember the reason i started this blog in the first place-- for me. for my family and i to read through these posts one day and remember the quirky, amazing, wackadoodle times we've had together. remember the love we've shared. i blog to document the little moments & keep them alive forever.

gosh. blogging is a good idea, huh?

i am so grateful for the blog community & my sweet followers, you make this even more fun. ya'll are freaking power ranger! bloggers seriously make the online world a nicer place to be.

mush peace & love

lauren
