Blog Trouble

I realize that some of you are having trouble seeing the March for Babies button at the top of my blog. I have heard that it is covered up by the pictures. Well, it does not do that on my screen. I figured out a couple of things.

First, I use Mozilla Firefox as my browser. There is very little that goes wrong with Mozilla Firefox. So, I highly recommend that everyone download Mozilla Firefox and use it as your browser! Seriously! It is free. It is proven. All of the cool kids do it... Wait. You get my point. So, go to Mozilla and download it today! At least check it out! It is very easy to use and has a lot of great features.

Ok. Enough about Firefox.

The other thing I learned is that older versions of IE do not view my blog correctly. So, if you plan on keeping IE as your browser (but I know none of you are going to do that because you were so convinced by my argument above) you should probably look into upgrading to a newer version. Not only will that help you with my blog, but it will also probably help you on other websites as well.

For those of you who don't want to do either of those things, but still want to help support the March of Dimes with a donation to help prevent other premature deaths, here is the link where you can donate through my husband, Andrew. (He does not have as much raised as me, so I thought I would share his link instead of mine.)

Big Bloggy Move

***This giveaway is now closed. The winner has been posted. Thanks to all who participated!***

The day has come for the Big Bloggy Move! While I am not moving locations, I have recently gotten a new blog design. Most people have seen it already, but for those who have not, I thought I would show it off.

Many thanks to Christy who is hosting this party and who gave me my blog makeover in January. Also, thanks to Revka at RS Designs for doing all of the work on my design. She did an amazing job and was very easy to work with!

I wanted to give you a little insight into the design. Revka put a ladybug in the header and also in my signature. When we were picking out things for the nursery for our daughter, we decided on a design with ladybugs. Since that time, ladybugs have come to represent Sydney. Whenever we see one, we think of her. Having the ladybugs in the design is a reminder of her and a reminder of why I started blogging in the first place. Thank you Revka!

In celebration of the Big Bloggy Move and to thank you for dropping by, I am hosting my first ever giveaway: A Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook. It contains over 800 slow cooker recipes. Along with the recipes, there are tips for using slow cookers throughout the book. It is brand new and in excellent condition.

• It is only available to participants in the US- sorry.
• You get one entry for commenting here.
• You can get another entry if you blog about this giveaway on your site.

Big Bloggy Move

I will be participating in the Big Bloggy Move over at After a cup of coffee... or two on Monday, February 11th. Although I am not moving my blog, I do have a new design (well, relatively new) that I want to show off. If you don't know about the move, head over to Christy's to check it out and see if your blog qualifies.

Also, come back on Monday and enter to win a brand-new Fix-It and Forget it Cookbook! It has over 800 slow cooker recipes! See you Monday!

My New Blog Design is Beautiful!

I am so excited! My new blog design is up and I love it!

Revka at RS Designs was amazing while working with me. She took all of my input and did exactly what I asked. She was very easy to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to redesign their blog.

You don't have to do a complete redesign if you don't want to. She does have some pre-made headers or templates that you can purchase for a reasonable price. Drop by her site today to see what she has to offer!

Thank you Revka!

Thanks again, also to Christy at After a Cup of Coffee...or Two for the giveaway that made this design possible!
