Yes, you are at the right blog (if you were looking for mine, that is. . . ). My new blog design was installed over the weekend, thanks to Elizabeth at TMC Designs (you may also know her blog, The Mustard Ceiling). She was great to work with—fast, professional and made the whole process really easy on me.
You may also notice I’ve changed the subtitle on my blog from this:
To this:

Why “design. simplified.”?
When I decided to change up my blog a little, the word “simplify” kept coming up again and again. In fact, it’s been coming up in lots of areas of my life. Considering the fact that I’ll soon be a mom to five, simplifying may seem a little far-fetched at this point. But, I’m making some changes—blog and business related—that I’ll be sharing tomorrow.
Until then,












it looks great, and can i just say what a stunning photo of you that is!

Love the new look. I am always looking for ways to simplify. Anyone who is a mom to more than two kids, which I am holding at, is a superstar in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteYour picture is beautiful and I love your updated about me caption. I can so relate to the hanging on the leg thing.
Best of luck in your quest for simplicity and the rest of your pregnancy!
