ETA: I’ve received a lot of emails with questions about the ProPhoto 3 update and its features. I did a lot of personal customizing of backgrounds, buttons and date holder. It offers the opportunity for that within the template and comes with a few different pre-designed templates that are also nice. If you want to make it more your own, you just have to get a little creative and play in Photoshop!

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Whew! What a process to revamp the ol’ blog, I tell ya! I had been looking forward to the upgrade from ProPhoto for months. It came right at the same time that I was itching to change things up and give the business a new look and feel. So, let me know what you all think. The new template is pretty robust so there was lots to change and create anew. Luckily, Juliet started daycare this week, so I had my days free to lock myself up in my office and work away. It was an incredibly foreign feeling to have time to myself and the house… it’s oh so quiet! LOVE. Her first two days away were successful and she even seemed rather amped in the mornings to go. Then we hit day 3. Today. I knew we were in for it when she asked me repeatedly this morning, “you going with me, mommy, to daycare?” Fast forward to drop off…. a quivering little lip gave way to a full blown melt down as I attempted to leave her. Precious arms clamped around my neck with a terrifying death grip, tears streaming down her pathetic little face and hysterics in her shrill cry… it was just heart wrenching. Poor thing. This is all new. Up til’ now, it’s been day after predictable day with momma. I’m hoping when I go pick her up in a few minutes that she won’t hold it against me. Sigh my conflicted heart.

Here she is on her first day, reluctantly heading towards 10 new 2-year-olds and away from the comfort and security of mommy.

And one for the music file. I’m smitten. His voice. The lyrics. His hair. Seriously people. He’s got a bit of a Johnny Cash vibe going. Love this song.

P.S. I’ve started a Facebook Fan Page… see tab at left for link. I’d love to have you join!

It always breaks a moms heart when they get the quiver lip going. I hope next time will be better for her. SOunds like you are really enjoying the quiet time to get things accomplished. I could use some of that around here. That’s why I’m always up so dang late!

the blog looks great, love the colors, the date stamp, etc. Awesome. The day care thing…it WILL get easier. Pretty soon you’ll be the one crying b/c you’ll drop her off and she won’t even take the time to hug you good bye before going to join your friends. Promise. : )

Very impressive. Very very great!

Very cool new template. I’ve wanted wordpress for soooo long but I just can’t bring myself to try to figure it all out. And my four kidders are all at home…homeschoolin’. Yikes. ;) My lip would have been the one quiverin’

MICHELLE!!!! It looks fabulous!!! You did such a great job!!! Of course, I wouldn’t expect anything less from you, sweetie. :) Looks fantastic and I’m very very very excited for you! xoxo

LOVE the new blog… Excellent work. I wondered why you wanted a wood texture… now I know. This looks great and I love the tabs on the left. RAD.
