Hi Everyone, I want to thank you all for bearing with me on the re-design process and continuing to stop by and support my writing, dreams and creativity by reading this blog. You guys have helped me to get back to writing more frequently, which has started my creative juices flowing again. It also has given me the motivation to continue to better myself as well as to start taking care of myself more often, than not. These last few weeks that I have been writing more and trying to promote the blog, I've had the opportunity to meet new bloggers and moms out there, that I would not normally get to meet in real life. It's been great! THANK YOU BLOGOSPHERE. Each new comment and each follower boosts my little heart. So, I want to thank you all for that.

I hope to continue to get better at writing and posting by offering more topics and not just my words or pictures of my kids! Like little wardrobe feats (in reference to my post yesterday) and my upcoming, on the horizon, craft projects (in reference to this post). I also want to introduce Sponsor shout outs and spotlight posts as well as some tutorials on the blog , like some patternmaking/sewing projects and even little web design tutorials and a post with all the resources I use – but in the meantime, check out this design resource. Her code is responsible for that bunting over there to the right. Cute, right? So go check her out!

Had another great day today. It helped that I took the day off from work! I got my eyes checked (essentially the same Rx, except one eye but could of stuck with my old Rx) and ordered a new pair of glasses which I have been itching to do. Also went to see a chiropractor who wasn't pushy about having to go in for a gazillion sessions and feel slightly better. Went bargain shopping (one place was in the most unlikely of places - Sears! they actually had some cute clothes and they were 50% off! I was at Sears for my eye exam.) and scored 2 pairs of shoes, 5 dresses, one shirt, 2 pairs of leggings and even a pair of earrings! All of which were under $100 AND I could wear them after this baby is born too. I also managed yet another day not looking/feeling frumpy. Good thing to since I ran into an old friend of mine while I picked up lunch! So awesome..it was truly such a great day....

*oh just now - Charlie got me a scratcher that Jax had picked out - and it was a winner! A mere $3 but still - it was a winner :) Also Charlie said he was 5 minutes from getting a parking ticket because he forgot to move the car to the other side of the street - but luckily he had to do some work at the house and the parking citation officer was a few cars down, so he was able to move it!  It's the little things.

I'll have to post some photos of my bounty :)
