Hi Friends!

(Stick with me please…I have a simple action item I need from you!)

I want to chat with you about something that’s been on my mind…

I miss you! I miss connecting with you in ways we used to in the comment section here on Dine & Dish. I miss sharing happy things with you regularly, and I miss providing something more valuable for you to open in your inbox. I want to offer you something in your inbox you look forward to, not a piece of email that you roll your eyes at because it’s “just another blog update email”.  I KNOW how full your inboxes are and how meaningful something of value can be to receive.

So, inspired by my dear friend Bree (who sends my favorite piece of email each week), I’ve decided to start a separate way to communicate with you through email. Taking the place of my Happiness Reports, I’d love to send you a little happy note each Friday to start your weekend. These notes will include carefully curated links of value to things that have made me happy, pretty pictures, small blog updates, and a chance for you and I to connect through email in a way we haven’t before. I want to ENCOURAGE you to hit reply and chat with me as well! We’ve been friends for a long time…I think it’s time we get to know each other a little better, don’t you?…

The post The NEW Rock Your Happy Newsletter – Your Action Requested appeared first on Dine and Dish.

Hi all! Just a little housekeeping post this morning. I recently found out that with some recent blog changes, I accidentally messed up my RSS subscriber feed and unintentionally dropped most of my subscribers. This means, if you subscribe to Dine & Dish via RSS feed like Google Reader, it’s possible you haven’t been getting my updates.

I’d love it if you’d re-subscribe to Dine & Dish via RSS. You can do so by clicking here… I promise not to tinker around with anything else without a professional at my side!

While we’re at it, did you know that you can subscribe to Dine & Dish updates via email? These include a weekend recap as well as post updates during the week. It’s my favorite way to stay in touch, simply because I love the beautiful email template Alison with Polish Your Blog created for me. Subscribe HERE to email updates and check it out. Allison is super talented, so if you are looking for someone experienced in email template design, I highly recommend her!

Of course, I’m also on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest. Let’s connect there as well if we haven’t already!

Oh! If you are a brand or business interested in partnering or advertising, I have a new media page (also designed by Alison) I’d love to share with you. Email me at kristen <at> dineanddish.net or contact me through the form above.

As always, I truly appreciate your support of Dine & Dish. I hope some day, we can connect in real life… wouldn’t that be fun?
Thanks again!
