Beautiful photography, integrated with good writing. Really fun travelogue/ sightseeing.The way you put together the photos and the descriptions makes me feel like i'm there myself seeing/ tasting it. Your tabs and categories are great for browsing around. (+ I love the goldfish widget!)

My own blog is very pedantic (no matter how I try not to be!), and heavily focused on an obscure textile craft...

Written in a clear style. I like the "kid wrangling" as one of the tags. Suitable for younger kids, but for kids in 20's, you might have to retire that term later!

I'm not just a model, I do many many other things. That's why it seems discombobulated, because I don't really theme my writing in this blog. It's about everything. I am starting another more themed blog soon, but I'd like to keep it separate to avoid confusion.

10/10 I LOVE your layout and the image is your own creation from my understanding correct? Very animated and attention grabbing.

I also love your tangents, it's funny how you transfer from one topic into the next, it's chaotic but very funny, so it works. :D (lololololol) haha!
I'm also a bracket-a-holic and a multiple lol'er

For the theme you're using, which I never find terribly inspiring on anyone's blog, you've done well. Though I think you could do a bit better with the widgets in the side panel, for instance use image links instead of text ones, to match the rest of the content.

You write very similarly to how I think. I like that you have so many pictures in your posts, the theme is clean, makes it easy to focus on the entries.

Layout; 9/10. Great layout, clean design

Content; 4/10. The posts don't seem to have any common train of thought... Have you thought of trying to think of a theme for your posts? Like, various ins and outs of being a model? I think it would be much more interesting to read if you were to write more about what it's like, how you prepare, how you get jobs/shoots/ads, annoyances on the job, etc etc.

Just ideas, don't hate me! (trying to be constructive!)

10/10 for content. Love it. (in fact, after this post Imma follow you!)

8/10 for layout. Its nice, don't get me wrong, but maybe you should start using the "read more" feature (it cuts off the post where you tell it to so that people can click to read the rest). Honestly, I'm probably only saying this because I literally just discovered it and am in LOVE with it, but it makes the page look a little less looooong and a little more cleaned up.

I've been in this slump for like 2 yrs or more maybe feeling the same way and it's really changed me. I CAN say that I'm finally starting to feel better because I needed the realization that people are always going to be crap but I can choose who I really want in my life. I can choose everything. I know it seems like there's no end to the BS but there is, you just have to see the silver lining at some point, and it'll happen in the right time for you. I think one of the most intense and oddly beautiful things in this world is that people are so shitty, but we still continue to live everyday, usually with our best foot forward, despite the muck. Keep plugging along!

:D

you've found your topic I can see that. :D Good.
there is room for improvement, meaning, will your blog stand the test of time? I've seen blogs die out very quickly before, so if you're back in a few months or so, your rating is sure to be higher :D

I love how personal this blog is. It takes a lot of courage to share our personal struggles. This blog is honest and true!

The layout is great and I love all the do's and don'ts.

I think there is a lot of info in the sidebar, but otherwise a great blog.

Sorry. Your background image needs to be edited, your header image is stretched, and the images you use in your posts need to have the text wrapping around them, or they need to be larger.

Your sidebar needs a lot of work as well, maybe some photos, but definitely a Blogroll / Links widget or two and a Recent Comments widget would look great. And don't be afraid to add some videos to illustrate your stories.

The actual writing is interesting and honest, and you respond quickly and intelligently to comments...

The blogs aren't really my thing and they aren't talking about something I can relate to hence the lower rating.

That said, I really like the layout of each and the use of images. It also comes across very clearly the pride you take in your family - which I think must be the intention :)
