Annnd….wait for it….
I’m BAAAACK!
After a whole month of the blog being down, and a phew months before of maternity leave from blogging – I am happy to say – I am back! And better than ever!
A month ago, I decided to redesign this blog as a project to keep me busy at night when the kids were in bed (and between feedings). My brain was coming back from the pregnancy hormones, and I was feeling creative. I started working on local machine, and when the time came to test something out – I logged into this live site. I checked what I needed, and moved on. While I was working and checking and working and checking – I still had the live site open in a tab on the browser.
Now, usually I am really great at distinguishing between local machine and live site – and really careful about it too – but when your baby is a month old, and going through a growth spurt, sleep deprivation messes with your brain. I got confused, and while testing something I messed up the database on the live site.. >_< When I realized what I had done, it was sooo far gone (and looked TERRIBLE) I decided the easiest thing to do was put the blog on maintenance mode and work hardcore to get the theme done. I thought that it would only take a week or so…
Meanwhile – a month later…
But that’s what happens when you have a new little one, a two year old, and a house to run! Plus, I was going to bed mega-early to catch up on sleep so my night time work time was only about 2 hours – not enough time to really get “in it” and code. It was well worth it though – because I LOVE my new layout and look. (I think) It concentrates on the content, and is easy for mobile devices to read. Also, I kept in mind that this blog is a brand – a detail I overlooked before – so a lot of time was spent creating a style guide…
But I am getting off topic of the scope of this blog – to read more of my design speak check out my personal design portfolio site blog. 
There are still a few tweaks to do, and pages to rewrite, but its presentable. Feel free to click around, and let me know what you think!
I plan on blogging a lot now that this is done – I have so many stories to share about baby EM and EL – it was a great holiday and has been an awesome couple of months getting used to being a mother of two. So make sure to subscribe if you haven’t already!

I really like it, too, Meg! The colors go together really nicely.
Thanks! The colors were inspired by a dress EM got from her great aunts that I love. =)
I love, love, LOVE it!! So beautiful <3
