I'm feeling super random today so bear with me...
First thing. OMG isn't he adorable? I LOVE this guy. Today we went to the Spar to
visit my aunt get a latte kill some time before we had to pick up Camden. As you know we LOVE the
BEATLES around here and Charlie has had this shirt since he was oh, probably 3 months old. It got too small so I did what every super turbo thrifty beatles fanatic would do and I
cut it off UN-ONESIE-FIED it. I now realize that this causes it to roll up slightly at the bottom, into a crop top, and last I checked
boys nobody should wear crop tops. So, this will be the last time Charlie Pete sports this particular Beatles
onesie crop top shirt.
I'm taking part in the
SITS blog improvement class all about social media strategy and how to market your blog. It's being spearheaded (is that the right word?) by Melissa at
Momcomm, who I have just "met" and I already think she's fabulous. So far we've talked about branding, which is really fun for me. One of the exercises was to ask one another in the class to tell us five words they think of when visiting our blogs. We're supposed to match this up with the five words we're trying to portray (on our blogs) and hope they are sort of similar. This part has been fun and if you have any input you'd like to share with me about this here blog as well I would LOVE to hear it. I really want to improve my blog, to make it a "place" people can't wait to come back to each day, so I am open to suggestions!
Oh! And coincidentally I received my business card order today! I ordered some business cards because I
haven't had a real job in forever am going to a
blogger conference in June, and thought it would be fun to share when I meet tons of other bloggers there! (Oh, and I like to do stuff in photoshop, so there's that reason too). They look cool, and I think fit with my "brand" that we're learning about today, so I think I did something right when I designed them! What do you think:
That's about it, except I just want to say "HEY!" to all my new followers, and thank you to all my
old loyal followers as well. You guys are awesome and make blogging really really fun for me. Thank you! (Ok, now apparently I'm in a random AND cheesy mood).
Very nice cards! And what a good idea too. Cute shirt that the little boy has on! What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteAnd I just realized that I have been grabbing the wrong button for your challenge. I was grabbing the "winning" button for some odd reason. I wasn't READING it when I grabbed it, LOL! So I sincerely apologize.
