Notice Anything Different?

My blog just got a MUCH needed facelift thanks to Lisa from The Blog Whisperer. She did an amazing (and fast!) job changing up my space! Plus, she has even answered my other billion questions so I could learn more about WordPress and do a few other things.

So what’s new here?

Over on the right, you can now subscribe by e-mail! There are several blogs that I subscribe to and I LOVE this feature!

Google Friend Connect is back on my blog, well until it goes away in March.

I am slowly adding a blog roll to the side of my favorite blogs! There are some great ones listed with even more to put up (as soon as I get the time!)

At the top right, you will see my new social media icons- check them out, too!

Let me know what you think of the new look!

Blog Stuff

New year, some new changes around here! First off, notice a few more tabs at the top! Be sure to check out my Project 365 Blog and show me some follow love. On the right sidebar, you will find my most popular posts, what is on my reading list so far, and my labels for posts. I will be tweaking a couple more things here and there, and adding some stuff, so stay tuned! :) And if you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them!

changes!

Notice anything different? :)

My new layout was designed by Laura at Laura Edwards Design. She did a BEAUTIFUL job! It is perfect, much more concise, organized,  and I hope you all love it!

Unfortunately, I haven’t had much time to blog because my little man has a double ear infection. :( We have been to the pediatrician twice in the last 3 days. He hasn’t been eating well and has been very crabby. He is on an antibiotic (finally) and so far this evening, seems more like himself. The OTHER reason why I haven’t been blogging as much is because my BFF Sheana is visiting for the weekend! We had a fun day (besides an unexpected, but necessary trip to the pediatrician) and I love having her here to visit!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I will be helping the little man recoup and enjoying my company!

de-cluttering and learning

Now that I am staying home and feeling more like myself after having Brayden, one of my biggest tasks around home is to de-clutter. I feel like I am drowning in a sea of unnecessary items (even though others think it’s no big deal!). Last week, I cleaned out my part of the closet, got my maternity clothes boxed up and ready to go, and have several things to go to Goodwill. Yesterday, I found the left hand side of my desk. Today, I decided to tackle my blog.

As much as I loved my old layout, the sidebar just went on forever, and I didn’t think it was as organized as it could be. Bear with me, I am still learning blogger. I need a new header and I am not sure how to go about doing it, so I am researching as time allows!

Any advice, directions, critques, etc are greatly appreciated. Honestly. My goal is a 3 column layout but I am just having a hard time figuring this all out…

A new look!

Thanks to the wonderfully talented Bryn at Newlywedism’s, this blog has a gorgeous new header and better overall theme. I am so in love with it! Bryn, thank you so much! It’s absolutely perfect!

coming soon!

A new look for back to the basics. Bryn at Newlywedism’s has designed a new header for me and it is simply stunning! I can’t wait to share it with all of you when it is completed! :)

blog help part 2

I have found a great site to help me change this blog, but I am having some troubles…hopefully tonight I will have some time to figure it out! In the meantime fellow bloggers, have a look at this site. It’s fantastic!

blog help…

Hi. My name is Julie and I am technologically challenged.

I REALLY would LOVE a 3 column layout…and some help. Anyone?

Please?

needing a facelift…

Not myself. This blog. I see all kinds of inspiration on other’s blogs, but I am not sure how to make them happen for mine….like a cool header, pictures of books I am currently reading, updates on my favorite blogs, etc. This is a call for help. Maybe on our little trip this weekend I will have time to sit down and work some of this stuff out. I could use some advice though! :)

getting this blog organized…

Slowly but surely I am organizing this blog with labels…stay tuned!
