I couldn’t resist! As the new year rang in, I found myself aching to get my blog redesigned. I had the perfect excuse, too… our precious new addition needed to be included ๐ As much as I loved my old blog, I just needed a ‘pick me up’ to help me stay at this blogging thing! And as a professional, ahem, peruser of all things bloggy, I kept coming back to the same designer again and again as my favorite. She’s incredible (if you can’t already tell from the new blog!) and she’s a fellow adopting mama, too.
Thanks SO much, Rebecca! I absolutely adore it! I know I am most likely the most persnickety customer you’ll ever have, but looking on the bright side of that, it’s all downhill from here ๐

I love it!!! Very nice!!
Love the new look! The pictures across the top are what make it special. Thanks for the e-mails yesterday–you’ve really got me thinking and praying about it. Hope your precious family has a wonderful weekend.
WoW, I love your new look. Really looks like one of a kind. I love your new URL address as well. So fun.
Love it love it love it! It looks fantastic, and I especially love the pictures of your kids across the top of the page!
Thank you so much for letting me help you with your new blog design! The best thing about it are those 8 little pictures. ๐ You are truly blessed!
Praying that handsome little man of yours comes home soon.
Warmly,
Rebecca
LOVE IT! That’s all – ’nuff said, except of course those pictures at the header are pretty darn spectacular!!

Wow, your new look is gorgeous!
I keep meaning to update mine, but I’m not very blog savvy! I celebrated after I managed to get a counter on it! LOL
Would it be ok, if I listed your blog under my favorites?
Thanks
Krista, from Canada
mom to Abigail, Isabelle and Lily..
Great makeover! ๐
New Year, New Blog (love the new header, by the way). I guess now’s a perfect time to fess up that your blog is one of my favorites. I’m not even sure how I found it, but I do recall your family on myadoptionwebsite.com. All of your children are BEAUTIFUL! I’m not sure if my signature links to my blog, so I’ll post it here. It’s only fair if I sneak a peek at your family that I share mine. ๐ http://www.borninourheart.blogspot.com/

Thanks so much, guys ๐ I agree, the highlight is those 8 cuties across the header ๐ I know Rebecca wanted to make that a focal point and she did a great job!
To Krista ~ I would consider it a compliment if you wanted to list our blog under your favorites ๐
