good bye belle squeaks…
…Hello Paper Doll Tales.
It’s been two years. 209 posts. 1,298 comments. 62,976 site visits.
What started as a sleepless night’s whim when Little Friend was just a slip of a pip-squeak has grown, matured, and deepened into a blog that can’t squeeze into its old clothes anymore.
Now it’s time for Belle Squeaks to don some new digs big enough to fit Little Friend and Little One.
All the same, I don’t like good byes. Not a bit.
So can we skip the soggy tissue part of this closing chapter and rush headlong instead into Hello?
As in…
….Hello to Paper Doll Tales
Hello to more of the same {Little Friend adoration, inspiration, rumination} and hello to some new things {look, feel, focus, and of course, Little One}.
The fabulously talented and long-suffering Nicole at The Pixel Boutique has spent hours and hours getting the design of Paper Doll Tales tweaked just right, and now I’m ready to whip the curtain back for the big reveal.
Will you follow me over to Paper Doll Tales? (I really, really, really hope you will.)

{For those of you following in a reader, update your RSS feeds here.}
And now, I’ll just say a teeny, weeny, tiny good-bye to Belle Squeaks followed by a robust HELLO to Paper Doll Tales!




Your blog is amazing! I hope to one say aspire to be half the mom you are.
Sad to see Belle Squeaks come to an end. It name was a great choice and you did an even greater job writing it. I always looked forward to seeing a new “Squeaks”. Now I can

Loved this blog…loved the name “Belle Squeaks”….loved the emotion you captured in each of your stories….looking forward to your new PAPER DOLL TALES. You are an inspiration to all young mothers.
