It's now 2014, a year that is going to be an exciting one here at Hermione's Heart. I'm making some changes that I hope you will enjoy.
First and foremost is the addition of the weekly Sunday brunch, as I permanently take over the hostess's chair from our good friend Bonnie, who, I'm very sad to say, has retired from blogging. I have to admit I'm a bit nervous. It was one thing to host the odd brunch during the course of a year, when I knew Bonnie was responsible for the other 50 weeks. But now that I have to come up with a suitable discussion topic each week, as well as two mouth-watering food photos, the task seems a bit daunting. Nevertheless, with your help we will carry on the brunch tradition. Brunch will begin on Saturday and last through the weekend, with a recap on Monday.
I don't want to forget about the faithful weekly contributors to Complete the Caption. That feature was first invented as my own version of a weekend get-together, without seeming to be a brunch copycat. So I came up with something to appeal to those readers who prefer pictures to words. There are one or two regular participants who, as far as I can recall, have never left a comment on any other type of post. I won't abandon those faithful and hysterically funny contributors. Complete the Caption will be appearing on a weekday, starting next week.
From the Top Shelf will also be staying on as a regular weekly feature, appearing after the brunch recap. Wednesday Win and Friday Fail may not appear as regularly as before, because I want to write more personal accounts about Ron and me and our life as spanking enthusiasts. That's my New Year's resolution!
I welcome any comments and suggestions about these changes, whether good, bad or indifferent. I'd love to hear your suggestions for future brunch topics. This blog is written for you, and I want to make it the very best it can be.
Happy New Year everyone!

I'm so glad you will be retaining "from the top shelf" and "complete the caption" ... as you should :) I very much look forward to reading more personal accounts from you. I always enjoy your accounts :)

Happy New Year Hermione & Ron.
Whatever you do is fine with me and I will be here. I think I comment at least 85% of the time I visit.
Thank you for taking over for Bonnie, she's left us in very capable hands.
We shall look forward to all the new changes as well as the few things which will stay the same. I personally love your real-life spanking accounts the most of all so I will especially look forward to those!

While most sorry that Bonnie will no longer be a part of the regular group, I am appreciative to know that you were willing to pick up where she left off. I have always enjoyed reading your thoughts and perspectives and look forward to new thoughts in the New Year. Wishing you the best.
Hey Hermione...I don't often contribute but I do lurk a lot on the brunches, complete the caption and several others. Good luck with taking on the extra work. I think you will do a wonderful job!

But I can see your point. So I hope once in a while you'll will include them in your fine blog. May you have a spanking good time, in your new up coming important duties.
