Giggles-n-Gulps

Previously, I have referred to my children as Matthew and Rose to provide some semblance of security on a public blog.  Embarrassingly, I nearly called them by those names the other day…oh, yes…I rolled my eyes at myself.  So I am going to change my security tactic to using their first initials.  Less confusion for [...]

So whatcha think?  I’ve been wanting to change the blog design for some time now, but it took a good bit of googling to find one I liked and required minimal work on my part to switch the widgets over easily.  Fortunately, that search resulted in having several neat designs ready to go when the mood strikes me!  Yea!  [...]

Hi there!  I have a friend who has a new blog just for moms called Simply a Mom.  In it, she is going to provide ideas for activities, recipes, frugal living (don’t we all need that these days?), and encouragement (I need that every day!).  With summertime coming and all the kids heading home from [...]

Apparently, it has become a tradition in the blogging world to write a “100 Things About Me” post when you reach your 100th blog post.  Since I am such a rule-follower (ahem, most of the time), I intend to follow that tradition.  (Unlike SOME friends, who I won’t mention but she is up to her [...]

I said I would change my blog theme at the first of every month, but I needed a mental break from screaming kids, and decided to look at new blog themes to prepare for April and found some beautiful butterfly blog themes.  This one caught my eye and I couldn’t help [...]

Many of you know about my passion for postpartum depression ministry.  A friend of mine, Sue McRoberts, has (with 2 other accomplished women) launched a new blog to minister to new mommies and I can tell you it has blessed me already!  Sue wrote The Lifter of My Head, the first Christian book about postpartum [...]

Ok, so not officially until the middle of March, but really who is counting when you’re desperate for beautiful weather and rays of sunshine and fresh air?  Not to mention a NEW blog theme?  Don’t you just love it?  Whoever thought of combining the color purple and daisies into one blog design was pure genius I [...]

Ok, so I’m really just having way too much fun with this Wordpress theme stuff.  I found this theme and did a little tweaking to fix it for my blog and am using it for my February theme.  Although, I must admit, it might be a bit much for me to use for the whole month [...]
