Big News!
Guess what! My family has a new website. I set them up with a new wordpress design (with lots and lots and lots of help from Lauren of Stranahan.com who hosts my website). This whole web domain was probably dumb of me since nobody ever writes anything except my poor over-worked tired sister-in-law but I just felt it was time. Here I am making banners for everybody else, I should take care of my family first. So there you are. Go click on them and tell them to blog some. Because the family that blogs together stays together!
On another note, this is a little preview of what the Stranahans might offer as a package deal: web hosting, wordpress interface and graphics by me! Weeeee! I don’t know when they plan to launch this idea but it’s something we’ve been talking about for a year or so. So if you’re interested, leave me a comment and I’ll forward it on to them. I’d say blast them with emails but they are busy people!
p.s. The banner winners of April have been chosen! But I’m not telling. I will be sending emails tonight. (yes, I broke down and chose two) Don’t tell who you are until we have graphics to show, ’cause it’s more fun to have a big reveal!
To the rest of you… I’m lopping all the April emails into May so you still have a chance to win in May! Yay!

Spring Break Ends
Spring Break is over and that meant we had to take Rapunzel home. We had a lot of fun and all of us were sad that the week was over. The good part of the week ending was that we got to take a trip to the sticks to return her to her family.
Spring in the Sticks is a very beautiful time. I love taking Baby Bug out there when we can get outside and really enjoy the flowers and the dirt and the dogs and did I say dirt already? We don’t have any kind of yard where we live at the beach. Baby Bug can’t roam free any farther than my sliding glass door. So letting her walk around and explore my mom’s half acre was really fun.
My mom (the green thumb of the family) decided it would be a great experience to plant seeds with her granddaughters. All three of them. It was great. Baby Bug has always liked leaves and plants and dirt but giving her little round seeds that looked like a “ball! ball! ball!” was even more fun. She could have sat there and put seeds into dirt all day. We have no idea what was planted in the end. It’s going to be entertaining to see what comes up where.
Another good thing about the sticks is that you never know what to expect. Like broccoli on the grill for dinner and an impromptu twilight wiffle ball baseball game! I can smell summer in the air already.
