I can find my way around WordPress and some CSS code for my clients but when it comes to doing artsy stuff like funky backgrounds and cool headers, that’s when I have to throw my hands in the air and accept defeat. (Remember, I’m crafty, not artsy!)

Which is why my blog looks so pitifully boring. I like this standard layout but geez aloo…It can’t look any more boring.

So I was very pleasantly surprised when I found out my friend Nell at Casual Friday Everyday is sponsoring a blog design giveaway! Yes, I’m throwing my name into the hat of hopeful winners and will let a professional do her magic with this layout.

And yet here I sit…at 2:38am…unable to sleep.

So why not redesign my website? I never have time during the day because of my VA client work (which I totally love; this is NOT a complaint!) so I’ve put my lack of sleep time to good use.

My body won’t agree with me when the alarm goes off in 4 short hours but hey, I’m flexible. This is yet another blessing about working from home.

I’ve also been doing a lot more writing and have put together a summer ecourse with lots of ways to keep your kids active and thinking this summer, rather than plugged into their favorite games. Believe me, this will be a HUGE challenge with my kids as well but they will be my guinea pigs for testing these activities. The program is totally free; you can see the signup box in the right sidebar.

Wishing you all a well-rested and productive Wednesday!
