Welcome To My New Home

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Sit down and grab your drinks.  Welcome to my new home!  I’m settling in quite nicely now.  Harriet, over at CreativeBlogMe, did an absolutely awesome job for me.  Don’t you think so?  It’s amazing.  She was so incredibly patient with a very non-technical person.  It was quite a switch over.   I love how my banner is on the top and the bottom.  I love how I have so much room for my posts as well.

Now the Google Friends doesn’t seem to want to listen but that seems to be happening everywhere from what I’ve seen.  It just wants to say there is no subscribers but there are if you click on it.  Especially since most of you are on it.

Finally everything seems to be settling down.   Except for my subscribers.. have you noticed yet that I am not in your google reader or that you are not getting emails from me?  I need you to resubscribe to me.  Really I’m serious we had to change the RSS Feed.  So what I need you to do is unsubscribe from me and resubscribe if you want to keep reading me.  pretty please.  I don’t want to lose anyone in this transition.

Harriet is even going to run a giveaway to help me out as well.  I literally went from over 500 subscriber to 5 subscribers.  Talk about freaking me out.  I was spooked.   All I could think was I was going to lose all my followers.. all the people that I love to follow myself.

So while I was moving, I had technical issues because my blog was shut down for over a week.  Talk about scary.  I was terrified.  Harriet wasn’t even suppose to start working on my blog at that point.  She was in Orlando.  I hope she had a good trip because she did start to help me out while she was there. 

I figured I had plenty of time to catch up on all my favorite blogs.  That didn’t happen!!  My computer decided that it had time to catch up on someone’s virus!!  I’m telling you viruses stink!!  If I didn’t have family to help me, I would have been shot down totally.  I was for another week.   So I got farther behind keeping up with all my favorite blogs.  I did get to work on a computer that was slower than molasses pretty much to keep up with Harriet.

I’ve been very honored to join Rita at One 2 Try and Lynn at Midday Escapades in the new meme, Friday Follow.  I don’t think any of us expected it to take off with such incredible speed.  It’s so amazing to be one of the host in this meme.  I want to say hello and welcome to all my new followers!  I can’t wait to get to know each and every one of you. 

The other day I read a post that I thought would be very beneficial to each and everyone of you as well.  Heather at Thetamom’s wrote “3 Secrets to Getting Return Bloggers.”  I thought it was a great post since we have this incredible meme going on.  Please go over and check it out.  Tell her that I sent you.

Starting today here is what you can expect from me:

1. I will get out more to see you all.  I love bloggy love.  I love commenting.  I’ve been down but here I come.
2. I will post every day about something.  Hopefully its something that you find relevant and interesting.  I’ll do my best.  If I have a review/giveaway, I will still post a more personal one.
3. I will continue the Friday Follow meme.  I love it.  Well, we will until it stops working.  Hopefully that’s never.
4. If I do a review/giveaway, it must be something that I would be interested in checking out 100%.  I’m not just going to do one because a company is asking me to do it.  It has to be something that I think you would find interesting as well.  Or my kids do.

Now some questions for you all:

1. Are you interested in seeing Magical Moments for Tuesday come back?  For those of you that have just started following me, the goal is to talk about one thing during the week that was magical to you. I mean that you were over the top about. It could be a project you completed, something your child did, a grand new idea, something you saw, etc. Something that was so magical that you have to tell us about it. I know. I know. This is why we all have blogs. But sometimes we just write about the negative things because we had a bad week. So if we all write about a Magical Moment then we might uplift another blogger. This is the very reason that I have this blog so that one day my children can see. You do not have to be a mom to do this.
2. Are you interested in more tips in home improvement?  I’ve considered talking with some friends to get easy tips for us all.  That could mean expanding into other areas of your home.  Though I will tell you now, I don’t want weekend warriors.  Weekend warriors tend to make expensive repair issues.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments so that I can help make my blog even better for you.
