Playing Musical Themes

October 28th, 2008 by Lauren | No Comments | Filed in General Stuff

I’m playing around again with my theme-so if you stop by and things are all askew, it’s because I’m still rearranging things. ;) I found a new theme called “Flexibility” and I’m testing things to see how flexible it really is! LOL!

Pay no attention to that WAHM behind the curtain! But it look like she’s gonna be at this for some time - so patience. ;)

Fun With Photos

October 20th, 2008 by Lauren | 1 Comment | Filed in WAHM Resources, Websites

I have discovered the fun of finding and using stock photos in my blog posts and on my web pages. For certain posts, or sites, finding just the right image can really set the tone or add to what you want to say, conveying the message with a visual.

One of my favorite places to look for stock photos is www.iStockPhoto.com. It’s one of my favorite places to go when I want to find a fun image for a blog post, or a set of images, like I used to set the “place” at Mom’s Online Retreat. The pictures aren’t free, and purchase price depends on the size of the image you want - but for my needs I can purchase 10 images for $14.

You can get a lot of uses out of one image though with a little photo editing. Here’s a good example, my latest, favorite image…

has already been turned into this…

I love this because I can get so many uses out of this one image - adding text for my Coordinator Challenges that will be starting at Mom’s Online Retreat, or maybe as a “Specials’ board to post on the front page to draw visitor’s to The Shoppes.

So, consider using images in your blog posts and websites. Gives the reader something more to look at than just ads, and can really aid in creating a nice visual for your visitor. What a way to spice up your pages. ;)

Banking, Bills and Laundry

October 15th, 2008 by Lauren | No Comments | Filed in Balancing

It must be Wednesday! Don’t even have to write it on the “to do” list anymore, just part of the weekly routine.

I’ve found if I can keep laundry down to 2 times a week I don’t feel as if I’m always doing it. So Wednesday’s and weekends is how I’ve conquered the Laundry-Monster! Guess I’m lucky our kids are small enough I can keep up with it this way. LOL!

As far as the banking and the bills…I have found I feel a lot better about paying bills after I’ve gotten home from the bank. Hubby’s banking gets done on the weekend, and mine (when I have it) on Wednesdays. So at least it feels like there’s always money going in to cover what’s definitely always going out!
