Welcome Back! Picking Up Where I Left Off
Well, hello again and welcome back! It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, but I’m picking back up now with an old and fresh site all in one! This site will be a continuation of my Blogger site but I’m moving back over to WordPress. It gets a little confusing so allow me to give you the condensed version.
My “The Ways of Her Home” blog was on WordPress and in more recent years began to have some glitches and lots of disappearing photos. I then started a very basic blog on Blogger called “Her Lovely Common Life” to test that blogging platform and see if I liked it better than WordPress. In some ways I did but it felt limited. Since I’d been blogging at WordPress for 11 years, I decided I preferred the familiarity of WordPress, but I liked the new message and direction of “Her Lovely Common Life” on Blogger.
The solution? Close “The Ways of Her Home” on WordPress and move “Her Lovely Common Life” from Blogger to WordPress.

I completely understand that our life seasons and interests change and therefore the content we gravitate toward changes as well.
I’m super excited to get back to blogging, especially here in the middle of autumn! It’s my favorite time of year to blog. I have some ideas for posts but also have given my content much thought over my long break. I want it to be meaningful and encouraging to those of you who stop by and read, and I welcome any feedback you have to offer.
So, welcome back, friends, and I look forward to many visits with you here at my little blog home. Consider your seat saved at my table. The tea is brewed and the scones are warm!
A special thank you to Madelyn Victoria Co. for being my unfailing tech support and getting my blog moved and set back up. If you have any website or social media needs, please contact her!

Well Denise, if this isn’t the sweetest encouragement! Thank you so much for your kind words and for continuing to follow me….no matter how many times I move my blog, lol! I’m grateful to have you visit here and, as you mentioned not too long ago, visiting in person someday would be such a sweet blessing. I’ll pray for that!
Alinda! I love your blog and am excited to continue to catch up with you here.🥰
Aww thank you, Kelli! I hope we can catch up in person soon. My boy was just asking yesterday when we could meet up with y’all again. Let’s look at November! 🧡
So glad to have you back!
You’re so kind, Ashley! I’m glad to be back and I’d just like to say that you have some beautiful children! I so love reading about your sweet family. 🥰
