Blog Re-design!



New Re-design! HOORAY!

I loved my blog design before, but lately I've been summer dreamin' and since I live 5 seconds away from the ocean, I thought, "why not?"

It all began on Sunday, the day Tyler and I take our usual "beach picnic" break. Our break consists of books, no shoes and a big blanket for sprawling out!  As I was sitting on the blanket admiring the scenery (and breeze!), I realized what a beautiful place I live in. Don't get me wrong - I've always known I live in a beautiful place but I've never really taken full advantage of living in a beach town! With the wedding and moving to Florida during the holidays, it's been the last thing on my mind.

I want to change that this year.

Hence, the new design: more posts about beach life, more bikini's, more palm trees, snorkeling, bicycling (get the full scoop on Instagram @kaylynweir). You know, beach stuff! Coming from Mississippi where we have lots and lots of tall trees and woods, I shaped my blog around owls and mushrooms. Really woodsy…woods no longer! Bring it, beach!

It's really starting to feel like a whole new year with new changes and new jobs. The excitement is almost unbearable!

Ps. Today is the first day at my new job! Nervessss!! Say a prayer for me!


2014 Blog Plans



Since I work from home, I've been begging Tyler for a place where I can store office supplies, feel inspired and get comfy. Seeing as though our bedroom is the brightest place in the apartment, we decided it was a smart idea "build" our office next to the bed. Oh, the joys of apartment living! I dream of an office where I have 500 square feet of bright space! Maybe in our next home...

As you can see, I totally painted all over the walls! Ha! My goal in these next few years is to travel more, so I drew travel quotes everywhere. I don't know how long the quotes will stay on the wall (i'm already thinking of painting over it) but it's definitely inspiring. For the office, I still need pillows for the chairs; a few rugs; cute office supplies; lamps; wall art, etc. So much to do!


I wanted to take a moment and thank you all for reading this blog. I get so much enjoyment out of sharing my life with you and following yours. What would we do without internet!?!? I don't even want to know.

I'm the type of gal who does her best work when goals are set. I've been thinking about where I want this blog to go, and the changes I want to make. Do any of you have "themed" days? For example, Monday is DIY, Tuesday is Recipes, etc. etc. etc. What are your thoughts on this? Pro's and Con's? I've been thinking of doing it to keep myself accountable, but sometimes I feel that I'll be forced to write about something that doesn't inspire me.

I can tell you that I am going to try very, very hard to blog every day. Now that the wedding is over and the planning has ceased, I feel that I have a lot of time to create more content, and that makes my heart happy. I'm going to start two new threads and repeat them every few weeks or so. & that is "Kaylyn Exposed" where I will share things about me that you don't know; and "New & Old" where I talk about things new and old in my life whether it be experiences, materialistic things, etc.

Are there any changes you wish to see on the blog? More DIY, less DIY, more fashion, less fashion, recipes, personal stuff??? Constructive criticism is always appreciated! I'd love to hear your thoughts.



Again, thanks for being a reader. I love you people.
