    Love the list Lauren! For blog ruts I pull out my trusty journal of posts that I want to share and document and take a cue there. If an idea pops into my head it goes directly in there, so it’s like a never ending list of inspiration for posts.

    A few of these stood out to me. Having Alfie (my dog) write a post for me would be hilarious. I’ll have to get on that. Let’s hope he’s cooperative and can type fast.
    I like the interview your significant other, too.

    Last year I had planned on doing “share one photo per hour” of the day, but I never got around to it. Marking this one in my to-do list too.
