I would love to dive in and give it a super instant clean sweep, because I know it needs some major organization! But it's going to be a huge time investment to completely overhaul this little baby of mine.
So I set a goal to tackle one or two things off the blog update list each day. Most will hopefully be seamless or help you with your navigation, or minor things like sidebar updates and changes to my graphics. Those smaller things won't be getting a special blog post to point out the change. Others are a bit more dramatic... like me changing my hair color!
A new hair color means that I needed a new profile picture! So now I have one {thanks Emily!}
And the all important page header!
I am excited to whip this blog into some serious shape. Just consider me the Jillian Michaels of IHeart Organizing. Only, with blonde hair.
Thanks everyone for understanding as I work to make this a prettier, happy place for all of us!
I was wondering when we would see a new profile pic! I've noticed on photos you share that you look completely different! Love it :) How friendly is your smile!! :) :)
ReplyDeleteLove the new header too - very nice. Can't wait to see the rest of the changes take place :)
Love the new header a whole bunch. But WOW the new hair color is gorgeous! Both the cut and color look amazing on you! Very, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!! Both your new look and the new header! I love the longer bang, makes your look more sophisticated. Can't wait to see all the changes to your blog (and a few tutorials on technique would be welcome too). You inspire me everyday...keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteLooks great. New header and your hair looks fab. New reader to the site in the last few weeks and I love it. My hope is to become a tenth as organized as you are and I'll be one happy chick. :-)
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! I love the blonde on you!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the new header is perfect. It's still colorful while remaining "clean". Also, your new profile picture is beautiful. You look great with either hair color but I am loving the blonde.
ReplyDeleteI love the new header! Very refreshing:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the blonde but you seriously can rock both colors. <3 How lucky are you?! :)
ReplyDeleteYour new hair color is great. Suits you to a "T" (for terrific). You're brave to work on updating the blog but don't worry about us, we'll hold on and enjoy the ride.
ReplyDeleteI love the changes so far! And your hair looks super cute.
ReplyDeleteYou are ambitious in all that you do. Good luck with the blog makeover.
ReplyDeleteI was reading your blog when your new pic uploaded. I clicked a link and suddenly you were blonde. Back button...brunette. Forward button...blonde. I did this a few times just to confirm I wasn't crazy!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and I'm glad you updated your picture! Now your sidebar matches current blog posts and we won't have to wonder about the hair colour. :) Did I say I love your blog?
First off... you look awesome as a blonde... though you rock both colors effortlessly! The header is great too!! Love the changes!!!

ReplyDeleteLove the new makeover--on the blog and the author!
ReplyDeleteLove the new header and picture! About the header, I totally agree with a previous commenter who said that it is colorful and clean, and to me, the cursive font adds whimsy and fun. I think all of those are great representations of your blog and home! I'm excited to see the other changes as you roll them out! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for updating your picture! I'm new and I kept seeing you in pictures and figured it was your maid or someone who helps you do all the wonderful things you do! Haha...there goes all my excuses...appearently it was you!
ReplyDeleteHey Jen! I love your blog. You are just too sweet.
ReplyDeleteI think the new hair color is awesome. You look great - not that you didn't before, just better; younger. Blonde suits you!
Great work!

I'm glad to see the new picture on here. I too was seeing you as a blonde and wondering why your picture had you with red hair. Problem solved! I am ready to see the new changes.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what color i like best. both are very beautiful. do you think i could do blonde? lol.
ReplyDeleteI love both hair colors, just curious which one is your natural color? I'm naturally a dark blonde, and I've been thinking about trying a slightly darker light brown color...nothing too dramatic!
ReplyDeletePERFECT! As a brunette, I can NOT believe that you look that amazing as a blond!! Kinda makes me what to try it out! (I'm totally chicken, though.)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, LOVE the new header. Your new hair is cute, too. :)
ReplyDeleteYou look terrific!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing! I love the hair. You are so lucky that you look great in any hair color. I wish I could make a big change like that. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe blog facelift is darling and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your new hair color. Even the cut is so fresh and stylish!!!
ReplyDeleteYour hair (and blog!) look great! Love the changes.
ReplyDeleteLove it all!!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic Jen!
ReplyDeleteJust saw your post at Odeedoh! Nice job! I was looking at my reader thinking hey that kid looks familiar..........I've been reading you for about a year and I love your tips. Thanks for sharing all you do!
ReplyDeleteLove the new header and the new hair!
ReplyDeleteLove the new hair! You look awesome as a blonde! Love all the blog updates too!
ReplyDeleteLooks great so far! And you look like a totally different woman with your new hair color. :)
ReplyDeleteHoly camoley you do not look like the same person! You look fab as a blonde, though!
ReplyDeletelove your new cut and color. its very sleek but fun. welcome to the blonde world!
ReplyDeleteI crazy love the new look...It makes you look younger...I'm getting ready to leave brunetteville and embark my journey in blondeville...Love a change!!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah...love the new blog look as well :)
Love the new fresh look to your blog and adore your new haircut & color. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI have an organizing dilemma that I'm sure others have also. In one word - recipes. Being a pretty organized person myself, my recipes drive me bonkers. I already have several binders divided by category, a binder for our family's most favorite recipes, cooking magazines from over the years, recipe cards in a pretty basket, print outs from blogs, cookbooks and then there's the recipes that I make straight off of the computer (and forget to print!). I like to try new things for the most part, thus lots of recipes. Guess what drove it all home was yesterday, my dd who is home from college for a couple of days said - make that really good pasta salad dish that you made last summer. I spent a lot of time throughout the day racking my brain trying to figure out where I found that recipe. Time for a recipe overhaul - need to access it all in one place! So, I thought of you and wondered if you had any more recipe organization tips since you last shared your insights with us. Would make a great post .
Thanks for all of your amazing ideas!
Looks great! yep! You look great with either color! Awesome blog. A favorite of mine. thanx for all ur hard work!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I seriously heart you all to pieces! xoxo!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the blonde hair!!! You were pretty before...but you're beautiful with the blonde hair!! Are you a natural blonde?? Because you look it!!
ReplyDeleteHi Natalie!
ReplyDeleteI was a blondie growing up and eventually it started getting darker and darker and became so much maintenance to maintain it that I went brunette. I agree, I love the blonde more though! xoxo!
