I think most of you know that I have a recipe blog where I get to share all of my favorite recipes with my family and friends. I was having so much fun with it, that I got this great idea from a friend's recipe blog...join a food blogging network. I thought it would be a fun way to get more people to find the blog {and hopefully enjoy it}.
So today, all the red tape of joining the network came through and has been one of the featured blogs for the day...ten people were looking per hour instead of the normal 10 per day.
When I realized that I was getting all this extra traffic I started feeling a little self-conscious that I hadn't done anything to upkeep that blog in a couple of weeks.
So my afternoon today was spent updating the header and trying to improve the overall appearance of the blog. Whenever I'm feeling a little techie with all my blogging, I get a quick slap of reality whenever I peek at the HTML code in it. I know nothing and probably never will.
Now go peek at
the new look. What do you think? Is it improved? Was it an afternoon well spent? Do you have any more ideas? While you're at it, you can become a follower too!
It's not very often that I give into the call of the Golden Arches...especially at dinner time, but tonight I had a good excuse. It was the school fundraising night at Mickey D's, so I got to be lazy for a good cause.
Look what we found! Spencer had a little stowaway with him on his way out the door. Good thing we caught them or Spencer would have kept right on walking. ;) 
I wasn't sure the hours of trouble would be worth it. 
I've decided that the groundhogs just might live to see another year.
Our house has transformed into a veritable groundhog production line. We're all overdosed on sugar, our kitchen has frosting caked onto every surface, and we've still got cupcakes to frost. How do I get myself into these messes?
Because every Saturday we have to go to the church to make copies.
That means they get to run, jump, play, shoot hoops, and in general just be silly for 45 minutes.
Ellie had the magic touch today. She beat both Spencer and I soundly at bowling and loved every second of it. On the other hand, my score of 94 was about as high as I ever get...maybe I should keep the gutter guard up on all my games. :)
