Blog Critique

My new friends over at Truly Lovely hosted a blog critique.  

I was matched up with bloggers that had not read my blog before and they gave me feedback. Being that I still consider myself new to blogging since I started a few months ago, (I still consider myself a "new" mom too and my daughter is almost 2) I welcomed the feedback. From the feedback, I gathered great new ideas for this little blog of mine. I blog because I love to write and, like my journals, this will be fun to review later. Since my blog is out there for people to see, I do enjoy it when someone has found my own little corner of the world and sticks with me! 

Positive Remarks (Yes I high-fived myself on each one):
1. Good photos
2. Interesting Blog Subjects (yeah!!)
3. No ads
4. Fun to read writing style
5. Good mix of photos/text

Room To Improve/Some of the recommended changes:
1. Choose a font that is easier to read
2. Change the blog description to describe the blog (it was just a quote before)
3. Move the follow by email and search up higher on the blog
4. Choose a photo for the header. (still trying to figure this out)
5. View more than one blog per page.

I've already implemented several of the recommended changes, most of them were fairly subtle,  and am still trying to figure out the rest:)

Another bonus was discovering these gems:
