Happy Friday!

How was your week?

After four years of the same general layout and design, I’m so happy to debut a new look for PJandThomas.com today!! While I liked the simplicity of the old design (more of a standard blog look), I really love the feel of this new one. The new landing page that you come to when you first get to our site allows you to see more posts all at once, along with letting older posts (and our most popular ones) stand out.

For reference, here’s what's it looked like before:

Also after four years, the orange is officially gone, and in its place a more sophisticated red (which feels especially appropriate as we welcome the holidays) takes over as the main “meta data” color on the site. We don’t have a website designer (which is probably blatantly obvious 😂), which means it’s just me. I’ve learned so much about web design over the years and playing around with different templates, fonts, layouts, etc. has been a lot of fun.

And speaking of red, Taylor Swift’s re-recording of Red comes out today!! And you better believe I stayed up until midnight last night to listen to the 10 min version of All Too Well as soon as the album dropped. So incredibly good and nostalgic and beautiful. Highly recommend giving this album a listen if you haven’t already!!!

And speaking of the color orange, we probably have about a week left of fall foliage in our area, so I took them in as much as I could on our walk around the neighborhood yesterday. If I could somehow make fall last all year long, I would in a heartbeat. I don’t think I would ever tire of these colors. Would you?

Today is for picking up the house (which has never been messier, I’m sure of it), taking a trip to the grocery store with Anna, and shooting a fun holiday campaign we’re both really excited about. A busy day to ring in the weekend but those are secretly my favorite days anyway.
