Change

This past week Opal Rouge turned 2.
This also means that I have been mommy blogging for 5 years now. There have been a few different blogs and a few different names, but I have been plugging along. I've met beautiful people and shared stories and commonalities with many people. I've loved it.
I want to say thank you for reading, contributing and subscribing for the last few years. Even though I would still write if no one read it, it's nice to know that people do! You have laughed and cried along with me, you have been my support and times and my refreshed point of view at others.
Thank you for walking along side of me during this journey into motherhood.
Over the last few months I have struggled with where to take the blog next. Though I love to write about my kids, I felt spend in doing so. I am no longer a new mother and feeling like my post are becoming redundant. Perhaps I have lost the vision I once had...or perhaps it really is time for a change.
I definitely am not suggesting that I am going to quit blogging all together, I love and share on o p! But it's time to shake it up, to change. I've changed over the last 5 years and it's only fitting that my blog does too. And though my family and I will continue to go to parks, make things, have birthdays and, in general, go on living life...you don't really need to know every detail.
So... Over the next few weeks Opal Rouge will be going through some serious changes and will be transitioned into (drum roll please...) a food blog. All of you know I'm a foodie, and it only seems fitting to focus on the area that I am truly passionate about. Along with recipes and general food DIY I will also continue the oh Hello Portland spotlight so we can showcase all the yum that portland has to offer ( and why don't we add a few more cities while we are at it). I'm excited to see what it can turn into and I very much hope that you will stick around for the journey.
Please be patient with the transition, though I am relinquishing the title of mommy blogger....I am still a mommy, and these precious little humans take time to grow.
All my love, Alyssa
