the end of 2011 brought a lot of inspiration for me and had me thinking a lot about the future of this blog and what i want to get out of this experience. for me, this has been a place about beautiful things, the things that inspire me. i want this blog to be a place where i build off my theory of decorating – that your life is a collection of layers – the idea that your life is a curation.

you collect things and people and memories and you put them in a place – in your home, in your heart, maybe on facebook, maybe on a blog.

so with this little dose of enlightenment, i bring you my current obsessions, geronimo balloons and confetti system, and let you know that there are changes coming for this blog this year. we’re redesigning your entire experience at her long way home and rethinking the editorial calendar to bring you what you want out of this blog and what i need out of this blog.

you can expect to see a lot of DIY projects, reviews, blogger interviews and guest posts,and of course design and fashion inspiration. you can even expect to see some actual food posts this year. above all you’ll really get to see me, the things that are important to my life and i hope that you’ll join me on this journey and that you’ll enjoy the ride taking the long way with me.

and remember dolls, every day is cause to celebrate!
