Blogiversary 6: Your Questions Answered About Our Journey

Get ready to cringe — it’s time for our annual (and always delightfully awkward) Q&A video. As we do every blogiversary week, we asked you to send in personal (non-decorating) questions on our Facebook page last week. After receiving more than 150 submissions, we sat down one afternoon while Clara napped and answered as many as we could, then edited it down into a 20-minute video. In this candid session you’ll discover:

  • Whether we’d ever let readers vote on our decorating choices
  • Which blog post we regret writing
  • Our take on snarky message boards
  • Whether we might reverse our no-swag policy
  • What we would change if we won the lottery
  • What our neighbors think of the blog
  • Whether we regret our blog name
  • Which ceramic animal I’d save in a zombie attack
  • How we prevent the blog from taking over our lives
  • Whether our marriage is perfect (spoiler: it’s not)
  • Why I probably won’t cut my hair super short again
  • Whether I still own just one bra
  • The much-anticipated possum-in-the-basement story

So if you’re curious (or mildly entertained), enjoy the video below:

There you have it — another year of us rambling about personal stuff, mythical horse-sized ducks, and mysterious mammals in our crawl space. Did anything surprise you or spark a new question? We might not be able to answer every follow-up in the comments, but feel free to ask — your questions could become next year’s fodder.

Psst — want more awkward? Here are our previous Q&A posts from 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Before we go, a quick note about you: each year we love learning who you are. On Friday John will turn your responses into a nerdy infographic (last year’s even featured Beyonce, so it’ll be tough to top). If you’d like to contribute, please take a moment to fill out the form below.
