Good on you for having a spruce up - I love the results so far!<br /><br />Hmm, you know who I am.<br /><br />I love your mix of topics. I'd like to know more about you, your values and what makes you tick.<br /><br />As for improvements, one I would definitely like is a 'Home' page tab up the top so I can navigate to your latest post quickly instead of having to scroll right down to the bottom to find 'Home'. I'd also love an 'About me' page up the top which sums up who you are and why you blog. <br /><br />Have fun tinkering!

But I am rediscovering blogs again and loving it!<br /><br />I always like that your blog is varied and there are snippets of different parts of your life. Love hearing about the girls, recipes and just daily life really. I like the white and freshness but a new header could be fun. <br />I'm doing a bit of a makeover too, must be that time of year! xxSimone - honeyandfizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13262417401953983884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-23872511576551407882012-08-23T16:45:29.711+08:002012-08-23T16:45:29.711+08:00No need for any content change, I love reading all...No need for any content change, I love reading all your posts but a blog spruce up and redecoration is always a fun thing (and much cheaper than redecorating a room!)

I mainly read through reader but I think your blog looks great, always nice to change it up though I'm hoping to revamp mine sometime soon too. If I don't comment often it's normally cause I don't get much time to read anymore and sometimes feel a bit silly commenting on 3 week old posts.

Wow, the time has flown by.....I think I have been a follower since near the start, but my blog reading time has been dramatically reduced lately so I generally read and don't get a chance to comment (although I am trying to more)!<br />I think the posts I read the most are your general parenting ones....I know I'm always looking for ideas to play with the boys/how other mums juggle kids etc.<br />A freshen up is a great idea.

Your blog is all about you and I enjoy reading your posts, especially when you add such cute little pictures of your girls - Sophie striking that little pose, too cute! Also I love that you are from Perth too, it does add to a familiar feeling I have when I read your blog. I'm pretty sure I started reading back in 2009 when I started following blogs, I always check your blog for updates & have taken inspiration from a lots of hints & tips along the way, not to mention a few links too! Those little floral paper bags from Etsy,(a Singapore store I think from memory) that were so cheap. I can't bring myself to use them as they are just too pretty! I have 2 boys & 2 girls so of course I enjoy reading your parenting posts! Look forward to a little refresh of your blog, but definitely feel confident in keeping up your style on your blog.x.Kate Torrancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05440255725418922298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-4938871849017719182012-08-17T19:56:24.958+08:002012-08-17T19:56:24.958+08:00Hi Ying, so lovely of you to say hi!

I would agree with Vanessa in that your banner is a bit blurry for me too, but I love the colours you've chosen.<br />I also love your decorating style, so always love to see what you've been up to :)<br /><br />Hope you have a great rest of the week <br />xBiancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15419937677624234868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-51715672426383172562012-08-16T17:52:05.397+08:002012-08-16T17:52:05.397+08:00Hi Amanda, I think yours was one of the first blog...Hi Amanda, I think yours was one of the first blogs I started following! I've particularly enjoyed your decorating/renovation posts and I love hearing about how you manage your days with Grace and Sophie. It's easy to get stuck in a rut as a parent so it's nice to hear how others do things a little differently. I was going to say the only thing that sticks out for me is the banner which appears a little blurry on my screen.

I like a bit of all the subjects you have mentioned, I think that's why I followed you. I do agree with the lady who mentioned the pale blue..yellow doesn't show up very well either. I've found that I have to go for a couple of shades deeper than what I originally plan for, to make more of a visual impact on my blog.

I can't remember how I found your blog but I keep coming back as I am a fellow West Australian and like it when you talk about places you have been in and around Perth. Also when you mention something I like and I know it is available here in WA (blue vase from Freedom!) I like that your blog is visually uncluttered and I enjoy the variety in your posts.Cheers, MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-85242308273507978902012-08-16T11:30:15.670+08:002012-08-16T11:30:15.670+08:00HI Amanda,

The photos of clean and organised rooms in your house gives me a sense of calm! Ha ha - probably because that is what I am looking to achieve in my own chotic world! Any tips on organising your day and how you manage to keep calm and carry on I would be interested in also :) Thanks for the inspiration, Cassie Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-36470267312876432442012-08-16T10:42:30.633+08:002012-08-16T10:42:30.633+08:00Hi Amanda.

I like the honesty and natural tone of your writing. I don't have children, but I love reading your posts about Grace and Sophie - very sweet and heartwarming. I also love cooking and food, so recipes are always of interest to me. And I think your blog is very easy to navigate and has all the key elements: a search function (though you may want to move that up toward the top of the page, above or below Contact Me), categories, archive. Look forward to seeing your new look!
