Right now I am in the long process of moving this blog into a Wordpress one since I've heard it's a lot easier and more functional to use.
I will of course still have this site up and running but for all the newest updates you can check out my new site here: http://thepaigeturnerblog.wordpress.com/
Please bear with me while I'm still under construction and am working out all the kinks in the system. It would also mean the world to me if you could subscribe/follow the new blog! Thank you all so much...
