Welcome to the new and improved Mommyland!

If you’ve been to Mommyland more than once you’ve probably noticed the new look. That’s right people, I bit the bullet and hired a real designer to redo my page. Normally Bill does all my design type stuff but he’s just too busy now and I thought that Mommyland deserved a real design.

So who is the creative genius behind my new look? Nicole from Tech•mom•o•gy Designs came up with everything with little more from me than I liked the colors from the old design and I wanted the Apple logo somewhere in my header. At every step Nicole showed me what she came up with and was very patient as I asked her to tweak a few things here and there. When something didn’t work right, she fixed it. After a few short days this is what I had and I have to say I’m thrilled.

It feels good to have a page I can be proud of. I want to write more thanks to the new look. I’ve spent the past two and a half years bouncing around between different free templates and none of them really said anything about me. I think the new look captures who I am and says a little bit about me.

But wait, there’s more.

The design part is complete, now it’s time to move on to updating the rest of the page. I’ve made a few updates to the about me area already. The Blog Roll is going to get a total overhaul and possibly a new layout. To keep things new and fresh I’m going to rotate through some of my favorite blogs and feature a new top 10 each month. Hopefully you’ll learn to love all the amazing bloggers who I love and am inspired by.

If there is anything you’d like to see from Mommyland, please let me know. I hope you enjoy the new look.
