What the Redhead said
Blogging

New Year = New Blog!

Happy New Year everyone! I am excited to start this new year with a sparkly new blog. Move over Redhead Babyled, there’s a new kid on the block.

So here we go, a new blog, a new design (thanks Zoe!) and a slightly new direction. The aim of this new space of mine is to veer a little away from babies – as LP and Little Man are definitely not babies anymore. I want to do more food and lifestyle posts to vary the content a little bit but deep down this will be the same space it has always been – me, writing about… stuff.

I’m looking forward to this new chapter. I don’t see this blog name changing ever again and that’s exciting for me – it will be great to have a permanent space that can grow with us as a family. I’m planning on updating the header image every year or so, whenever it starts to feel dated but apart from that I’m looking forward to this new start.

Here’s to a new year and a new blog – What the Redhead said.

New Year = New Blog!

    Ahhhh, I love it Donna. The new name is great, it’s still you just a little more grown up, if you get what I mean. And the new design reflects that too, with the nod to your old name and design, but a more fresh lifestyle feel. x

    Looks great, love the name and great that you’ve found a blog name that’ll be able to grow with you. Waiting on Zoe to get back to me on tidying up my blog, so hopefully she’ll be able to do as good a job on mine as she’s done on yours.

    Happy new year
