Friends, I hope that you are having a great week and an awesome kick start to your weekend. Its Saturday where I am and I started the day out with something spectacular. Breakfast.
Now if anyone knows me at all you would know that I dont like breakfast. I had a bad experience one time on a girl scouts trip (yes, like 10 years ago!) and havent been able to get it out of my head. Breakfast is just a meal I dont mind skipping! But my friend Joanna suggested that we go out for breakfast today, and for some crazy reason I accepted her offer...and guess what? I loved it. I love breakfast! We went to this restaurant in the city that sells 'the best' eggs benedict. I wouldnt know if it was the best, since it was my first time trying it! (I can hear you gasping now...!) "What?! You've never tried eggs benedict?!" but seriously - I avoid these breakfast meals like the plague. I really enjoyed it though - whats not to like? So breakfast..I think I'll stick by you from now on. And girl scouts bus trip that made me barf up my entire breakfast in 1999? I forgive you, and im over you!

This week has been a week of html learning, falling asleep near the computer, and trying my absolute hardest to get some inspiration. I decided to go back to my original template, the three column. What do you guys think? There is still so much that needs to be done, its about 25% complete..but I like it alot more I think. I have a question for you readers though, do you like my writing being in one big chunk in the center like this or did you like it when it was spaced between pictures? I see this big chunk on a lot of blogs and I like the 'clean' look of it, but I dont know what its like for a reader! So I need your input! <3 I hope you all have an amazing weekend, kisses from down under! x

  1. I'm not big on breakfast either. I usually only eat pancakes or waffles. Basically, all the carbs!

    I'm loving the polka dots! And I love the three column layout. I think I prefer the writing between pictures. It sort of breaks things up a little, I like it. I don't know, that's just me though. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! :)

  2. The layout is looking awesome!! It's so crisp & clean and just all together lovely. I know it's a small thing to love but I really like the comment button. hehe (: Oh and as far as the text goes, I think I prefer it spread out between the photos, but it's not so big a deal to me either way.

    Anyway, on to the post. You look SO cute and that first picture is my favorite! How do you get your photos to look so dreamy!? *sigh* so inspiring. xx

  10. I cannot believe you've never had eggs benedict! Oh my goodness me! (:

    Breakfast is amazing, I wouldn't be able to function without it, even if I only have my little bowl of cornflakes.

    I'm terrible to ask for advice on how to space your writing 'cause I find when I'm in a different mood I like it all spaced differently. I suppose if it's a story, like what you had today it works better all in one place.

  11. I love the new layout! I'm not sure about the big block of text/spread out issue.. I never know what to do either!

    Your outfit is so adorable. And going out for breakfast is so fun :) hope you're having a happy rest of your weekend!!

  17. Cute outfit ;)
    I practically live from breakfast foods. Cereal dinner is my fav :D

    I don't have a preference re the big chunks vs writing between pics. I break mine up because I sneakily think that picture browsers might read the odd sentence and get sucked in when they'd just TL/DR a big chunk of wordage. No idea if that really works though :D
