Hi, it's me again. Can I honestly just slap myself for yet another rebrand? I know, I know... it's only been a year that I announced my other new blog 'October Rain' and here I am, not even a full year with Coffee with Claire.

What it's Like With a Public Blog
It's a been a few months since I've rebranded to October Rain and publicly and actively shared my blog again.

Me, sharing blogging tips?! HA! I have been blogging for quite a while, however, I don't do it on a professional level.
