Extreme Makeover, Blog Edition

As much as I loved my last look, it was time for a change

Something LIGHTER

Something INSPIRING

Something NEW

If you’re reading from a feed reader, you’ll have to click over to see, and as a bonus…

To celebrate the new look and my upcoming birthday (44 in 1 week – eek!), every comment to this post will have a chance to win a whole new blog look from me!

Leave an answer to the following question:

What is your favorite cake?

I think my favorite cake is my wedding cake – white chocolate cake with raspberry filling, and white chocolate cream cheese frosting – it was So yummy!! Pineapple upside down cake runs a close second though…

I will draw a winner at random on my birthday (August 3rd), and the winner will recieve a brand new blog design!

Some of my most recent work includes:

In addition to what you can see on Design-Chicky.

So come on over and comment, if you can’t use the makeover yourself, maybe you know someone who does!

Time to put on my big girl pants

I just joined the gym…

(Gulp)

You know what that means, right?

(it means I HAVE to go)

OTHERWISE

I will never hear the end of it…

The husband is giving me the whole “you start something and never finish it” speech

HMPF – I have NO idea what he is talking about…

um, are you LAUGHING??

Fine – I’ll show you ALL!!

BWAHAHAHAHA

Sweet Shot Tuesday

One of the things I wanted to do with the boys this summer was show them new adventures and things I remember doing as a kid. Following the inspiration of Whatever and Eighteen25, I made a list of things to do before school starts again (although mine isn’t as pretty as theirs yet). Last week we had our first fun experience:

Frosty and French Fries

Who needs ketchup when you have a Wendy’s Frosty?

I’m adding this post to “Sweet Shot Tuesday” on My 3 Boybarians -

Sweet Shot Day

Tonight we’re off to our next adventure – the boys first ever baseball game!

Last Day of School…

Well, it’s over now – yearbooks signed (who knew you needed year books in first grade?), gifts handed out (school secretaries are the best!), and backpacks emptied of 489 pounds of paper. Oh, and the person that decided the last week of school should be ALL half days? Thanks for making this week one of the most disjointed in history.

I decided to take a semi-retirement from design this summer, so I could take care of my oh so neglected house, and more importantly to enjoy my last summer with my boys before they are BOTH in school (wah!!) . I am actually looking forward to spending lots of time at the library, the park, and in the backyard. We are getting a little pool, shmancy new beach towels and lots of popsicles…do you need anything else?

Flipping for Summer

I am going to try something different this summer, and I hope it will get my blogging mojo revved up again – I won’t promise anything, cause you know how that works…

PS – I PROMISE I will post about THE cutest pillow in the world soon – how can I not???

Happy Mother’s Day!

Er…I’m only a few days late, right?

I feel like every time I post I am explaining why I haven’t been here, and I know you all are as busy as I am, and trust me I have MANY conversations with you in between posts – I think of things to write like:

Ooh, I should give a caring for curly hair tutorial (while in the shower)

Or

Mmm…this dinner would look yummy on the blog (while snarfing food at the coffee table between client chats)

Or

I should share this picture on my blog! (while I hopelessly search for the cord that connects the camera to the pc)

I still have to tell you about the LA mom Bloggers Brunch (SO much fun!), and a few local bloggy events coming up and oh yeah I get to do a mad experiment with a MOP (bwa-ha-ha-ha)

One thing I HAVE been remembering to do is stop and smell the roses…

Smelling Roses

How can I not stop when these beauties are a foot outside my door, practically begging to be enjoyed??
