My New Summer Look
5:39 AM
You may have noticed that things look a little different around here. Remember how I was hunting for a designer to spruce up my blog? Well, I found one - the fabulous Jeri Lyn. She hooked me up with a new header, a coordinating background and the cutest button ever. If you want to freshen up your blog, I highly recommend her. She posted instructions on how to grab my button - so please do! It's too adorable to keep to myself.
Now that I've got my fun summer look, I've got some other surprises coming up. Remember the reading challenge I mentioned? Yep, I'll be announcing that soon. I also have giveaways, interviews and, of course, reviews. So, definitely stay tuned!
Summer's been in full swing around here for a few weeks. The kids are bored out of their minds, and I'm feeling tired and lazy - something about having all my children home all day just makes me want to nap all day! Anyway, I hope you all are having a great summer filled with lots of great books. Happy reading!

This is sooooo cute! I'll add your button to my blog when we get back from camping. (I'm supposed to be packing, but so hard to leave the computer.)
ReplyDeleteI hear we're all getting together in Utah this summer... sounds fun.
Your new look is very cute! You should also be proud of me because I was able to do the button thing ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the new look! It's so sweet and friendly.
