Good morning!!
You guys. Today is a very special, sad, and exciting Friday all at once.
I have been talking about a new site and new blog domain for months now, and the day has finally come. As (most of) you know, I will be switching over to a new platform to blog, but I am only doing so to improve the type of content you have already grown to enjoy and follow.
I love Housewife Glamour – and it’s been a great three years – but my focus on healthy living content has become clear, and I need a better fitting name to back it.
Thanks to your reader survey responses, I gathered that more than half of you were on the same page with this decision. For that reason (majority rules!), I finally took the plunge and went for it. Come Monday, everyone who types in housewifeglamour.com will automatically be redirected to the new site!
What you need to do to follow:
From what I understand… nothing. It will be a lot easier for you to follow by bookmarking the new domain, but that’s really about it!
All of the Housewife Glamour social media channels will be transferred to the new blog name’s handles, so you won’t need to re-follow anything there *fingers crossed*. I think (hence think, not know) the same will apply for Bloglovin’, but don’t quote me on that. Those of you who subscribe by email might need to re-subcribe, but I’m not quite sure about that either!
The good news is that you will definitely be able to find me Monday at 7 a.m. E.S.T. by simply typing in housewifeglamour.com.
Sadly, Housewife Glamour will officially be coming to an end later tonight. It will be in maintenance mode over the weekend and the new site will go live first thing Monday morning!
Saying goodbye to Housewife Glamour is very bittersweet. It’s more than time to move forward, but this little space on the Internet has been really good to me. You guys have been incredibly awesome too!
As we close one chapter and open another, I wanted to dedicate this edition of Friday Favorites to my personal favorites from Housewife Glamour. Don’t worry, there will still be a link up at the bottom for your favorites too.
Thank you all for joining in on this journey and enjoy the throwbacks!

Housewife Glamour will be missed, but I am so excited to see your new site! Looking forward to checking it out on Monday.
There is a part of me that will certainly miss it too. Thank you for all of your support, Lauren! xo
Excited to see the new site! It will still be the old you, just a new name 🙂
Exactly!! 😉
For bloglovin’ you just have to e-mail the address on customer service/contact page and tell them to switch the URL on your account and it will switch everything over. It was really quick when I did it last month!
Awesome, thank you for the tip! 🙂
I’m excited to see the new site!!! And isn’t it cool to be able to go back and look at so many amazing things over the years?!
That’s a perk of blogging for sure!
I voted to keep Housewife Glamour- but I am excited to see what you have in store!!!!
Aw, I know… it’s sad to see it go but I know you will like the new space!
I’ve only been following HWG for a few months now, but I am super excited to see your new home on the internet!!
Thank you Kerry! I appreciate your readership!
Switching urls is definitely a huge change but it’ll be so worth it if it’s something that you feel you really need to do!
Can’t wait to see what you’ve got in store for us 😀
HUGE! I’m really excited to see how it all turns out. Thank you for coming back and reading!
I can’t wait to see what you’re going to reveal! Yay for a facelift–it always feels so good, eh? 🙂

I heard through the grapevine awhile back that you were working with Jeff (who also designed my site), and I have been SO excited ever since to see the transition. I know it is going to be FANTASTIC!
Jeff has been amazing! Such a great recommendation 🙂 Thanks so much!
Congratulations on the new site! I can’t wait to see it and follow as you transition!
Thanks Ellen! <3
I think it is so awesome that you are taking the plunge and changing your blog name! I have wanted to do it for a while, but haven’t yet worked up the motivation to go through all of the changes :/ I can’t wait to see your new site!!! 🙂
Thanks Rachel! You know… I debated back and forth for years. Seriously. If you feel a new name would help you grow, go for it! You’ve got nothing to lose 😉

Aw, thank you so much Ashley! I know… I did too ;( but, don’t worry – all of these archives will still be around and accessible! Thank you for following this journey of mine! xo
Such a great recap and perfect way to end HWG. I can’t wait to see the new site!
Thanks Leslie!! 🙂
I’m SO exciteddddd. I can’t wait for Monday. I might need to seek outside help after all. Were you really pleased with your person who helped you? I’m so tired of trying to work on things on my own. I’ve given up!! haha See ya later Housewife Glamour. Onto bigger and better things 🙂
Thanks so much, Char! YES, I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone asking – I sent his info to you through email, remember? Hire him! 🙂
Good luck with transiting to your new site! That’s very exciting. All of your recipes look delicious! So ready for the work day to end and dinner to be had. Have a good weekend and we will check back on Monday 🙂 Winks and Eyerolls
