Blog Update
Hi everyone,
Sorry for the long break in posting, we’ve missed you all. Thank you also for the words of encouragement and support! Unfortunately, we are still working with WordPress to resolve the ‘link’ problem. This has been incredibly frustrating, but has also led to a lot of brainstorming between the two of us.
We have loved working together and creating this blog over the past few months, and are so excited by any and all feedback on it. Due to Caroline’s new work and travel schedule (congrats to her for her new great job!), we’ve been struggling to come up with a way to keep youngDCliving up and running. After all, this blog wouldn’t exist or be the same without both of our inputs and contributions. As each and every one of you probably knows, one of the best things about blogging, in general, is that you begin to discover your own ‘blogging passions’ throughout the process. Neither of us are exceptions to this rule.
Since our schedules and jobs are making it increasingly more and more difficult to work on this blog as a team, we’ve decided to shake things up:
The New Changes:
www.bloggingoverthyme.com
I (Laura) have discovered that what I really enjoy sharing with readers the most are recipes, food-related posts, and my recently discovered love of photography! While this blog has been taking a short sabbatical, I’ve been in the process of creating a completely new site (self-hosted, much to my technology woes). While there is definitely some overlap with this blog, for example: sharing my life in DC, as well as some old recipe posts and restaurant reviews, you’ll also be finding some new topics and pages, dedicated to photography, as well as a more easily-navigable recipe page. In the past, recipe posts have mainly consisted of the food recipe itself, with a little bit of background on the recipe. In the future, I’m excited to share more of my adventures and (mis)adventures in the kitchen, as well as the stories behind them.
While I’m still in the middle of the process of moving old posts over (individually!) and finalizing the design of the site, I’d be thrilled if you came to check out the new blog. Check out my “About” page for a brief description and background on what it’s all about, as well as the meaning behind the name!
Technical Difficulties
Hello everyone! It appears that all links to our blog posts on all youngDCliving pages (excluding the home page) are currently out of commission. At the moment, all links will bring you a webpage saying “the link cannot be found.” As of yet, we’re unsure whether it is an issue with the WordPress server or an issue with the blog itself. Please stay patient while we figure this whole mess out! Or check out our “recent post” menu on the homepage, which still works! Thanks so much,
Laura & Caroline
P.S. Hopefully we’ll be able to figure out this (frustrating) issue soon and regular posting will ensue! Be sure to let us know if you’ve noticed any other funky techno happenings on the blog lately.
Scenes of DC: Birthdays Galore
The beginning of August always marks the end of a great celebration of family birthdays. Both my mom and I have birthdays back-to-back, followed by my great uncle the next day, and my cousin two weeks before. So many chances to celebrate and splurge! My own birthday was filled with great home-cooked meals, cocktails, a breakfast outing complete with a birthday pancake, as well as a near tornado. The last part wasn’t so much fun…I definitely didn’t want my birthday to be forever known as the day a tree fell on top of my house. Crisis averted, thank god.
Check out some of my favorite pictures from my special day below. In fact, I bought a particular birthday present for myself this summer that I am super excited about. Any guesses? Hint: It is directly related to our “Scenes of DC” series. Guess away!
