This is so helpful, thank you @melody495!
I wound up adjusting per your initial recommendation so now the two blocks (text and photo) don't overlap - see attached photo. You've been so helpful I really appreciate it!
I think my site is all set and done now (I checked spacing and layout on all devices - large screen, computer, ipad and cell!) but if you have any interest in taking a peek I'd love to know if you have any suggestions or if it's good to go! allthethingsbyautumn.com password: allthethings
