Hey party people!
I’m excited to share some plans and changes for 2014.
It’s hard to believe that I left my full-time radio job almost a year ago. All I ever wanted to do was radio & it was hard to walk away from it but it was needed for many reasons (you can read about that here). This year has honestly been really tough, in a lot of ways. It’s been a year of growth, of failure, of searching, and discovering. Through it all, I learned a lot.
I immediately got busy DOING after I quit my job. I wanted to prove that I had what it took to be a great voiceover artist, on camera host & actress, social media content creator, and blogger. Problem was that I was doing so much and not taking the time to strategize, to plan, to take time away from work.
This year is going to be different and this is where YOU come in. I wanted to give you a heads up so you knew what will be going down in the next month.
When I quit my job, I wanted to be able to share as many ideas with you as possible! That’s why I decided to post 3+ times a week, showcasing new projects, tips or recipes. The problem I realized is that I felt I lacked some quality in my posts because I was rushing and I didn’t have the time to dedicate to fine-tuning other blog-related maintenance. One of the biggest frustrations I have with this blog is that it is soo hard to find past projects. That must change. But in order to do that, I need to carve out some time to dedicate to making this blog a better experience for you.
So my focus will be on giving you better content and making this blog more helpful. That DOES NOT mean, however, that Parties for Pennies social media will be silent! Oh no! A TON of fun stuff going on on social media! Follow along, share your parties, inspire others, and be inspired…maybe even a little entertained. #PartiesforPennies

Onto numero 2…
Total blog re-design is coming, hopefully this month, so if there’s something you hate, would like improved, or LOVE…speak now or forever hold your peace!
I’m here to help make parties less stressful for you & your wallet! And I’ve got some exciting plans to help do just that. Make sure to follow Parties for Pennies on social media or add your email to “subscribe to the newsletter” to get the first updates on when this will happen.
More video tutorials are coming your way too! If there’s a project you would love to see via video, let me know!
Thank you, in advance, for your patience as I try to get all this stuff in line. You are the fondant to my three-tiered cake. 🙂
p.s. This is YOUR official invite to the party… join in on the Parties for Pennies Facebook page, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram & Bloglovin!Â

Best of luck with the blog changes! We evaluated our blog last summer and made some changes, in the long run it was a great decision. Blogging needs to be something you love to do. You are very talented and your blog posts are always very inspiring. Looking forward to following along in 2014! 🙂

Heidi I too have enjoyed your blog and look forward to it in 2014! The only thing I would suggest is like you said above, make it easier to pull from past projects if there is something we loved on your blog that was say for example last year. We love your ideas! God bless you!:)
