Bloglovin!

Hey guys!

Well, as you've all probably heard by now, it's been said that Google Friend Connect is leaving on July 1st.

I'm not very happy about this, the number one reason being that I worked so hard to get all of my followers, and I love each and every one of them.  But you know what?  When it comes to actually reading posts, I like bloglovin a lot better!  It's really simple to use, and there's not a 300 blogs limit that you have to follow. :)

So, if you would like, please create a bloglovin account if you haven't already.  Once you do, all your blogs that you already follow with Google Friend Connect will automatically go to your Bloglovin account, all in a matter of minutes! (Gosh, I sound like a TV commercial! :D) So, please click here to get one. :)

Have a great day!

Love,
Hannah

~Sarah 

Emma's Interview:

4. Summer or winter? Fall or spring? Hmm....you know, I really like fall! Not too hot, not too cold....cozy nights in front of a fire. I remember when I was little and my uncle would come home from Thailand, and we'd all go to Grammy's house and have supper, then Grampy would start a fire and we'd sit on the couches and Anna and Ethan and I would always do some crazy show-then it was finally time to go and Grammy would give us hot cocoa for the road and we'd drive home through the dark--sorry, I'm rambling:)

5. If you could change your name, what would you change it to? Oh, hmm, that's a hard one! I really love the name Vivian though. My great-grandmother's name was Vivian and that's what I'm going to name my first little girl--Vivian after my great grandmother and Lorraine after my mom! Vivian Lorraine.

6. What is your dream vacation? That would have to be traveling all around the United States and visiting all my blogging friends that I haven't met in real life.

7. What is your favorite book series? Oh, that is SO hard!! Well, I really love the Janette Oke books but then the Mitford series is really good--I'd say those two!

8. What is your favorite movie? Oh, darn, another hard one! I'm not sure if this counts as a movie, but I LOVE The Waltons! It's a 9 season TV show from the 70's and I LOVE it!

9. What is your favorite color? Pale rose pink with robin's egg blue.
