the kitchen is now that top color

Hello my Lovelies.

I think that I pretty much have it all figured out.

Thank you for your kind words, your emails, and your phone calls.

I have been dissatisfied with my format for awhile and wanting something sleeker, bigger, better. I didn't see myself pulling it off and now I do. I have wanted to pull my children out of the focus, and zero in on the heart of the matter.

What the cuss is the heart of the matter?

It's this.

We have one short life. We need to live it with a grin whenever possible. We need to be our one true self. We need to teach that to our children and be their finest advocate for it. We should laugh and love first, risk and leap without hesitation, and always look squarely at the boogers that like to creep in and well, blow. We should always be learning and push push pushing. We need to stop comparing and offer up our quirks and color and fire.

We should definitely step away from the Joneses.

We need to throw it all on the wall. Our biggest dreams, our niggling fears, our silly desires, our inner child, our old soul. Mistakes and triumphs, both. Throw it and make it stick. Use duct tape if need be.

I'll be writing about all that. With kids. With dreams. With joy and faith and simplicity...

Are you in?

I'm all in.

I am switching to Wordpress which FREAKS ME OUT. I am doing all my own art work, which you haven't seen so much and will require learning photoshop (huge personal fear of mine). I will have a store with some unique items. I am MOST EXCITED to offer a real live newsletter that comes via snail mail...not to your inbox. Your kids will LOVE it as much as you will.

So that's where I am, with my big ideas.

I won't lie, it scares me to death.

I have a goal, and if my evil nemesis, HTML, doesn't interfere I should be up and running in a month or so.

In the meantime, I'll keep you posted!

xoxo
