Unlikely Martha is Live

First let me say how is it September 1st already. Per my Blogiversary post, I stated  on September 1 I would be changing the name of this blog to better reflect where I am in life right now so Unlikely Martha has been born.  As I mentioned in that post I am very different person from who I was when I started this blog 5 years ago. From hating laundry to rushing to fold warm laundry fresh out of the dryer, from being a disorganized mess at all times to having to consult with my planner before making any decisions,  from whining every day at having to cook dinner to having well thought out meal plans prepared two weeks in advance  I would say my priorities have shifted and I think the name says it all.

Lashawn came by and took a few photos for my new site. What do you think?!

What to expect from this “new” site? Glad you asked, content will be mostly the same but at least once a week…or at least I am going to try to provide a fashion, home and recipe post mixed in with my personal life shares. You will find better photos, more writing and just better thought out and presented content overall. Same Mimi just a different name and a little more polished. All sponsored content I bring here will be well thought out and include brands that I think would be helpful to you or your families because they have been to  mine.

Well, I’m off to volunteer at the book fair at the kids school today. I want to say thank you for those of you that have been here and have supported this blog over the years and give a big hello to those who are new. Change is good, I’m excited to see what’s in store!

    I love your new name! I saw it somewhere on social media the other day and I thought it was a great name but didn’t know who it belonged too! I can’t wait to see what more goodness you have to bring us.
