{Changes aren't so simple}

Okay, y'all. Time to huddle.
So lately, I've been wanting to redesign the blog. Well, not lately. I've wanted to for a long time but I wasn't really sure what I wanted and I didn't want to pay to have it done until I figured it out. Here's the thing. When I started this blog, I started it because I was reading a lot of personal blogs about family and normal life, and at the time, I was in an acting conservatory feeling really disconnected from those things.   So the blog was born to help keep me connected to normal life, relationships, family, etc. Then, I left the acting conservatory and felt really disconnected from creativity and art and I started exploring design and lifestyle blogs, and suddenly felt the need to go more in that direction because I missed participating in that world of creativity and collaboration.

And now, I feel like there is a happy little marriage between the two. Somehow, they have met in the middle and both are equally important to me in life and therefore, in said blog.

Lord, this feels like I way bigger deal than it is.

I want to change my blog name. There I said it.

I've outgrown it. I want this blog to be about much more than just myself. I want it to be about inspiration for everyone, not just the simple gals of the world. Because sometimes things get complicated y'all. And to be perfectly honest, this is the first thing that made me doubt my blog name:


Seriously. When I watched this episode after I had made my blog, I knew somewhere deep down that this name would never work. If you know me at all, you know that I am for sure, a Katie girl. And yet here I am. Blogging as "A Simple Girl." (Not that I don't love the simple things in life :)) 

 I'm excited about all of the pending external changes. However, the content will be the same, friends. So no big changes there. I'm in the midst gathering inspiration and working on a redesign with one of my all time favorite bloggers/graphic designers, Alaina from Live Creating Yourself. Eee!

I'll let you all in on the new blog name and what not soon. Anyone else changed their blog name out there? I feel like I'm going through a breakup. 

Talk to you all soon :)

  1. I revamped my blog a couple months ago! New name, look, purpose - everything. It was so fun and was exactly what I needed! Good luck! Can't wait to see the changes! :)
