WordPress, Elaine.
Elaine, WordPress.
Yes, we’ve just been introduced, so please bear with me while I figure this out, k?
So… WHAT DO Y’ALL THINK of the new place?
I am pretty much in love with my new design, I have to say.
Thank you so VERY much to Krysytn from Krizzy Designs for moving all my stuff over and for helping my new blog design dreams come true.
And when I say helping I mean doing ALL the awesome background work to well… make it work! If you ever need someone to re-do your site she is your girl!
I will admit, big change is not really my thing. Everything over here looks different. But then, that can be a good thing too. While it is all new to me of course some things are the same and similar thank goodness.
So yes, I’m embarking on this new blog journey but of course it is still ME, right here, writing, taking photographs and raising these great kids. So take a look around and tell me what you think.
I hope you all love it as much as I do!
And thanks to everyone who has already made such great comments!

Congrats on the fabulous new design and migration!
I’m hoping to finish my Blogger-to-Wordpress migration this week – it’s only taken me 2+ years, so what’s a few more days.
Elaine says
ha! You’re so cute, Lollie! Good luck with it. And thank you. 🙂
Momo says
It’s lovely!
Elaine says
Thanks! I like seeing your face here… 🙂

I drank it all. 😉

Cool, Carolyn, I will do that, thanks!
Julia says
I love the makeover!
Leighann says
Gorgeous new look! So fresh!
scrappysue says

Elaine says
Thanks, Sue! And I guess you would have to define “expensive”… 😉
Greta says
I love it! It’s bright and cheerful and YOU.
Elaine says

dude mom says
Hooray! So pretty. And you used my most favoritest blog designer EVER! Go Elaine!
Elaine says
Thank you, my friend! And I did? Wow, I must have been channeling you while thinking about it… 😉 xo
Theta Mom says
Welcome to WP! Looks fabulous mama!! xo
Elaine says
Thanks and THANKS!! 🙂
Leah says
Love your new look! I just made the switch not so long ago – it takes a bit of getting use to – but it’s all good!
Elaine says
It does… but I agree. I’m glad I finally did it! 🙂
Kim@Co-Pilot Mom says
I LOVE IT! It is awesome!
Keely says
Lookie loo AT YOUR NEW HOME!! It’s gorgeous. Enjoy the purtiness! It’s like getting all dolled up or redoing a room- you can’t stop checking it/yourself out. 🙂
Elaine says
Exactly. And thank you, my dear! 🙂
Nancy Collins says
As I told you before, I love the new look! I’m jealous.
Kat says
It looks fabulous! I just love it. It looks so happy and somehow soothing too. Does that make any sense?
Krystyn rocks! She did a great job!
I’m not big on change either. Really bad at it, actually. Even something like changing a blog is stressful to me. You should see when my husband insists I get a new phone (and I don’t even have a smart phone or anything). I’m crazy.
Love the new blog! LOVE it! 🙂
Emmy says
It looks great! One of these days I just need to make the jump
Elaine says
You do, yes I agree. 🙂 And thank you!
Ilene says
It looks gorgeous! I moved to self hosted WordPress back in May and have had no complaints! Enjoy your new home!
Elaine says
Thank you. And that’s good to know. I was so nervous but I think it was a great move!
thedoseofreality says

Elaine says
Thanks, Ashley and yes, I think I am already settling in quite nicely… 🙂
Rosey Rebecca says
Quite honestly, I can’t even remember what my blog design looks like so I don’t really recall what your site looked like before. BUT I can tell you that I LOVE the new design. It’s pretty fabulous.
Elaine says
ha! Thanks so much, glad you like it!
Shell says
YAY for wordpress!
I love the sunny yellow.
Jackie says
It looks amazing!! Simple…. clean…. fun!
AnnMarie says
Coming here made me feel happy instantly. It’s so bright and cheery. There’s nothing like a new look to make you feel renewed and refreshed. Love the picture of the kids holding hands.
Elaine says
Thanks so much AnnMarie! I hope you’ll come back to visit. 🙂
erin margolin says
I know I already told you this on the DL, but I’m in love with your new look — it’s SO you. the yellow is so inviting and warm, just like YOU! I can tell how happy you are in your new home. I’m so excited for you– CONGRATS, Elaine! xo
Elaine says
Thank you so much, my sweet, sweet friend. xo
