Hey There! Welcome to Owning Kristina!

Do What You Love
Things might look a little different around here since your last visit and that’s because THEY ARE! I decided to chart a new course and write about the things that I love to do. I’ve also decided to make this more of an open blog, which means having more guest posts. So if you’re a dreamer, foodie, artist, or knowledge seeker—share your story! I, and others out there, love to try new things, so please, don’t be shy.

Take It From The Top
Each week, I’ll post to one of my pages at the top. If you like the post, please comment. If you’d like to post, please shoot an email to owningkristina@gmail.com.

You Know It’s Time to Change Up Your Blog When…

A Change Would Do You Good
According to Cheryl Crow, “A change would do [me] good.” So, after many months, here I go, Cheryl. I’m picking up what you’re putting down.

I changed my blog theme yesterday; I’m not sure if I like it. I’ve been wanting to change my blog for awhile now and have just not found the right theme (i.e., a look & feel that I actually like and can easily customize without having a computer science degree). Since I’m a visual chick and need to see before I buy, I’m gonna test drive a few (or more) this month and see what sticks. If you see one you like or, if you have one you could recommend, lemme know!

In the interim, here’s a Top Ten on how you know when it’s time to change up your blog:

10. You’d rather clean your oven than write a post

9. You pay people big money to leave comments

8. You make the “Worst Blogs of 2011″ list

7. You start to rant

6. You get a phone call from Tosh.O

5. You get paid to NOT be an affiliate

4. You suddenly realize that people would rather read a book

3. All your posts are pics of your pet

2. Grandma has stopped reading your posts

and the number one clue that it’s time to change up your blog…

1. You find yourself writing lists because you’ve run out of things to write about
