My daughter’s birthday outfit from yesterday. She’s always trying new things and collects photos of her outfits for her “fashion blog”.

What’s new is how she put this together and it looks so conservative but then she adds a pink leopard hair band and a tan knit beret and she knows how well it works and gives it that stamp of her style onto it.

The boots were on sale at Target and she wanted them because they were so similar to my new boots from my birthday.

Instead of just letting her go with would fire the sake of being weeks, I’m starting to offer suggestions but I also defer to get final judgment. I dint want to discourage get but I also don’t want her to think everything she chooses works when sometimes it doesn’t.

Title and Tagline

Title and Tagline

These are things I always have trouble with so any suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

I’m happy with my title: Griffins and Ginger Snaps.

I’ve always used a variation of my name our my online user name and I really wanted to get away from that. I love griffins and collect them so that was perfect. I also love alliteration and I think I might have been baking ginger cookies when I was creating my blog.

The tagline, however (an experiment in my writing) definitely needs some work. I wrote about so many topics that I have a hard time pinning down a one sentence description. In the past I’ve used single weird sentences:

Teacher. Writer. Parent. Friend.

But that seemed kind of hokey.
Whittling it down to simple opinions or travel or life advice or any other descriptor seemed to short change it without actually emphasizing the variety.

My tagline is a mess.

Maybe some readers can tell me what they get out of coming to my blog and that might help me nature my space down a bit.
