Mollie & I started this blog in July, after we had just graduated college. We wanted to do something creative but we weren't sure exactly what. We were in a bit of a "transition phase". Mollie was finishing up a summer class & working in our college town, and I had just moved back home & started an internship. We weren't really sure what our "next chapters" would be. But we thought a blog would be a great place to get our creativity going. & after a lot of brainstorming & learning, our little blog was born :)
Well, fast forward 7 months and we're living our "next chapters". Mollie moved to Atlanta to live with her sister, brother in law, and her adorable little nephew. She started working at a boutique & exploring her new city. She seems to be having an amazing time & I am so proud of her! Meanwhile, I'm still here in St. Louis. My internship turned into full time employment & I'm enjoying my time back home.
Somewhere along the course of the 7 months (actually it was during month 1) I fell in love with blogging. The creativity, the inspiration, the photography, the community...I could go on forever. A few of you may have noticed that over the past few months all of the posts have been signed "-O" (that's me, Olivia). As of 2013, I'm going to continue this blog solo. I thought about moving to a new blog, but for now I'm comfortable here. Maintaining a blog is a BIG commitment. As many of you with blogs know, you have to really fall in love with it for it to be worth it. Oh, and "M" will always be my best friend, so don't worry about that!
Just wanted to share this with you. Thanks for reading :)

I'm looking forward to seeing what's coming next! I've got the same feeling about blogging - I'm learning so much and it is encouraging me to do and try so many different things.

Blogging is definitely a large time commitment and one I still struggle to find time for. I'm glad you will be continuing on.
