Changes.

You may have noticed a few changes to my blog. I'm still playing around with the title...but so far, I like the new one I have picked out because it describes the very place that I am in my life right now. I'm literally baby stepping my way through motherhood...one wobbly step at a time. I'm rediscovering the person that I am and the person I want to be...one wobbly step at a time. I'm learning how to be a better daughter, sister, friend, wife...one wobbly step at a time. And I'm seeking God's will for our life...one wobbly step at a time. But...if you know me just a little bit...you already know that I am a very indecisive person. And that is my way of saying that I might go back to using my old title (I can't decide right now- ha!). But not the point. Not only is change evident in my blog...but this next year will definitely be a year of...you guessed it, change!

Anyhow...along with a possible change in title, I am also going to make a change to my URL name. And because I have followed a few blogs before that suddenly disappeared and left me feeling like I had lost a "friend" forever, I am preparing you for my change and giving you the chance to follow me. If you have been reading my blog and want to continue, please send me an email to the following address: griffeyboy@hotmail.com. If I know you or feel comfortable with you reading about my "baby steps", I will let you know what the new URL name will be. No need to be alarmed. :) My heart is just telling me that I need to make this change!

Fifty FREE Holiday Cards, oh my!

Ever since my love for scrapbooking started to make my head spin and my sense of perfectionism robbed me from that joy…I started to rely on Shutterfly to help make me “appear to be creative!” It is so easy to use and offers a quick way to put together a very “modern-day” scrapbook! I have used them several times before and have been able to create some very memorable gifts. One on-going project that I will continue to do is in regards to my daughter’s birthday parties. I have decided to create a photo book for each party. First one titled: Rylie Turns One. Second one titled: Rylie Turns Two. And so on. By the time she reaches 18, she will have an “encyclopedia”, if you will, of her birthday celebrations! I am so thrilled about this project and know that she will appreciate this gift once she gets older (it’s a good thing I had a little girl first because I’m a bit cheesy like this and let’s be real…boys do not care about stuff like this!). :) You can get started with you own photo book, here: http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-books.

In addition to their photo books, Shutterfly also offers some very creative and fun Holiday cards.

We are using Shutterfly for our Christmas cards this year and I can’t wait to work on them! I guess I better get started since today is already the 8th of December and we’ve already received a few in the mail!!!! I’ve always been a bit of a procrastinator. Want a chance to “earn” 50 free Holiday cards? Click here!

And with the start of the New Year right around the corner…what about a personalized calendar for a parent and/or grandparent? That would make a great gift, too!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
