<\/p>\nI have some pretty big news that I am really excited to share with you all today! News that I have been debating over for quite some time, and that also makes me pretty nervous!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am\u00a0rebranding my blog.<\/p>\n
There! I said it! And I am so excited to finally share it with you!<\/p>\n
And while to some it may not seem like a big deal, as someone who spends a ton of time, energy and even a little money on this blog, it\u2019s a big leap.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I have posed this thought on Instagram a couple of times in the last month, and some feel strongly that I should keep my name, some are open to a change, and some are excited for a change.\u00a0 For those who are skeptical, here is my why:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
My blog started out about seven years ago as a baking blog. Did you know that?! It was called Lady\u2019s Makes and Bakes and showcased all of the things I made. It was small, pretty private and was just a place for me to house my work.<\/p>\n
Then, we had another baby, and I put the baking business on the backburner because my time was more focused on my babes.<\/p>\n
Still needing a creative outlet, I found myself blogging more and more about motherhood, so before deciding to really delve into the blogging world and buy my own domain, I changed the name to Lady\u2019s Little Loves.<\/p>\n
My husband has always called me \u201cLady.\u201d It was a nickname he gave me when we were dating in college and it is what he still calls me to this day. In fact, I truly cannot think of a time he has called me “Shannon” to my face.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Lady\u2019s Little Loves was primarily a blog about motherhood that also dabbled in craft projects, recipes and other little things I loved.<\/p>\n
As the years went by, and my blog grew, I found myself having to spell out my blog name to people when asked about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s \u2018L-a-d-y-s-littleloves\u2019 not \u2018l-a-d-i-e-s-littleloves\u2019 and I know that\u2019s confusing because there should be an apostrophe in \u2018ladys\u2019 but since you can\u2019t use those in domains, it can be hard to remember the spelling\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
It has just gotten a little old having to spell and explain it.<\/p>\n
And when you first hear the name of my blog, it can be assumed it\u2019s specifically a mom-blog.\u00a0 Over the years I have found a true love of home d\u00e9cor, and that is where my blog has happily landed for quite some time now. While I still share things I love, or \u201clifestyle\u201d tips (Including all things motherhood!) I wanted to find a name that defines all that I am and what I enjoy sharing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Enter the name, Living with Lady.<\/p>\n
To me, there is no question how to spell it. It sounds nice and is inviting, which is exactly what I want, to invite you all into our home!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
So there you have it!<\/p>\n
What do you think?! Do you like the look? I really tried hard in keeping the layout the same so you all knew where to go when navigating around.<\/p>\n
I also need to give an enormous shoutout to my friend, Taylor, who built this beautiful new site for me. I believe she is a gift from God to me during a time when I was confused where I wanted to go with this little gig. She knew my style, she listened to my ideas, and she helped me tremendously with a smile on her face. And she DREW OUR FREAKING HOUSE! Can you believe that?! I just absolutely love that our house is now my logo and so entirely grateful for all she has done.<\/p>\n
