The very first "Bex Loves..." has to go to the wonderful woman who designed this blog, Ashley at Little Leaf Photography & Design.
I have been reading Ashley's blog, Our Little Apartment, for over a year now and, at the risk of sounding a tad scary and stalker-ish, feel like we should be great friends. Ashley has a refreshingly realistic outlook on motherhood, marriage and life in general. Plus, her adorable son, Gabriel, makes my heart smile.
When I decided to actually go ahead and start this blog, I immediately knew that I wanted Ashley to be the designer. While I knew I would really like whatever she created, I never expected how incredibly easy it would be to work with her or how she would just "get" my vision. I started by creating a Pinterest board of colors I loved, patterns that caught my eye and designs I have used in that past (for wedding invitations, etc.). Ashley took a look at my ideas and came back with several header ideas, and while I loved them all, the one you see atop this page was exactly what I was looking for. From there we worked out the general layout of the website, tweaked a few sidebar issues and we were done. So easy!
I couldn't be happier with the outcome. The design feels clean, fresh, modern and...well, me.
My only regret? That Ashley doesn't live closer so I could utilize her photography skills as well -- seriously, check out her portfolio if you are in the Northeast Ohio area.
From the price, to the service, to the quality, to Ashley's overall friendliness and eagerness, I can't recommend Little Leaf Photography & Design enough.

Bex Loves...Blogging
Hello, hello, hello! Welcome to What Bex Loves!
The idea for this blog has been growing in my brain for quite a while. There are so many things I just absolutely love, from nail polish to websites to restaurants to books to experiences to...well, check back frequently and you'll see! (Or, better yet, subscribe to my RSS feed or like this page on Facebook!) I have blogged in the past and often felt at times it got a little too personal for me (and probably those who know and love me), so you probably won't read about every little thing about my husband that annoys me, but you may read about any magic tricks I found to stop his snoring.
My general philosophy about this blog is basically this: because there is so much negativity out there on the interwebs, you will never read a bad review or negative thought here. (Feel free to email me to see if I have an opinion on something not seen here though!) You may hear me bitch and moan sometimes on twitter...but I promise I try to keep that to a minimum.
I have a huge list of things that I already love to blog about, and can't wait to share them with you all. Want a sneak peak? Check out my boards on Pinterest. (Not a member yet? Need an invite? Let me know!)
Enough social media schilling...I hope you enjoy what you see here, and if you have thoughts, opinions or ideas for me, please let me know.
