First Blogiversary Day 1: New Layout and Survey!

Happy Monday, everyone! I am so happy to announce that this is a very special week here on the blog… Wednesday will be my one year anniversary of my very first post! So naturally I figured a week-long celebration was in order. Shall we start with a schedule of events? :)

Let’s kick off day 1! First things first, you probably noticed the site looks totally different today! Celebration #1: Blog makeover!  I have wanted to do this for a while so I figured blogiversary week was the perfect time to launch the new look. AND I LOVE IT! For those of you who are curious, the original theme I used was Socialike by elemis and made all modifications myself. I am still tweaking a few things so bear with me if things look a bit wonky for a few days! :)

Celebration #2: A super quick survey and an opportunity to ask me any questions you have! The survey is very short/easy (I promise you will be done in less than 2 minutes), totally anonymous, and gives me an opportunity to know you (my readers) a little bit better. I would really appreciate you taking a few seconds to fill it out so I know how people feel about the goings-on here at Our Cozy Cubbyhole.

Finally, I am giving you the amazing privilege (haha sarcasm…) to ask me anything! Want to know when I find time to blog/do projects? Want to know Bo’s most embarrassing moments? Want to know why I put our lives out there on the internet? Now’s your chance to ask!

I will recap all results and answers to your questions on Friday!  The survey/question form will stay open until Thursday night.

Okay… it’s survey time!  Thank you for helping me out!

Santa Claus & Ho-Ho-Ho & Mistletoe & Presents to Pretty Girls

Ten points to anyone who got the blog post title reference! ;)  It has been an absolutely crazy few weeks but I am finally here today to share our Christmas decorations! Walker and I got the tree and put up the decorations on Sunday while listening to Christmas songs and watching Christmas movies. It was a very festive day.  :)

Our tree is about 4 feet tall and is filled with colored lights, our fun zoo animal ornaments from last year, an owl ornament we got for our first Christmas together, the ornaments my parents gave us last year, a few fun ornaments (Charlie Brown and the Beatles), and our new guitar/bass ornaments for this year! We also busted out the Christmas song book and put it on our music stand for all to enjoy.

Most of the lights are the same as last year (around the door to the kitchen and around the living room window/door), with the addition of another strand by the stockings.  We have the same “Let It Snow” snowman on our front door from last year because the idea of snow in Los Angeles is STILL humorous to us!

Anyway, I will stop blabbering and start posting photos already. I will be back EVERY DAY next week for Our Cozy Cubbyhole’s BLOGIVERSARY!!! Yippee!I will be linking up my holiday decorations with Decor and the Dog’s Dare to DIY: Deck the Halls link up party on Monday so be sure to stop by and check out lots of other holiday decorating ideas! :)
