A Long Time Coming

Dear Reader Friend,

Notice anything?

If you’re reading via a reader or by email you’ll have to click through to the site… Red & Honey finally got a makeover! Freckled Nest Design and I have been working together since last summer to create a new and beautiful space here, and I am blown away by the end result. I love it. It’s simple yet beautiful and unique, designed just for me, and I am honoured!

I will be updating a few things over the next while (some new tabs up top, new category labels on the side, and a bit of refocusing my purpose). I will continue blogging as per usual though, and I hope that you will continue to join me.

You will notice that I have a new tagline, “the art of valiant homemaking”, which is where my heart really beats strongly and passionately. I love talking about the practical side of homemaking and mothering, but always with the aim of encouraging other mamas to not only fulfill that role of homemaker, but to do it well and with passion and a counter-cultural joy. It can be so easy to see these years as ones to trudge through and survive, but to truly thrive? Well, that requires valiance and is truly an art-form. Hence, our purpose.

On the practical side of things, I will now be beginning to look into opening up some space for sponsored ads. My rates will be very low to start, and I will be posting more info on that soon. Feel free to contact me if you are interested.

I’ve got a great giveaway and a few posts up my sleeve for the next few days, but first I’d like to hear from you…

What are your favourite kinds of posts around here?

A) Recipes / Nutrition

B) Parenting

C) Practical Homemaking Tips

D) Pregnancy/Birth/Breastfeeding

E) Spirituality

F) Natural Living/Crunchy Stuff

***

Welcome to the new Red & Honey, and as always, THANK-YOU for being here.

Love always,

Beth

      You know, I already do feel more inspired in my blogging, and I think it’s totally the beautiful new space. Only another blogger would understand such things, haha!

    Loving the make over! My favourite part is the lace along the top. All those categories are fantastic, but I’d have to say my personal preference is Natural Living/Crunchy Stuff. Just keep doing what you’re doing!
