The Texas Mama

So, in case you didn’t notice, here we are. Mom and Me is no more. I am now The Texas Mama, which was my website url.  The Texas Mama is now powered by wordpress. It is combined with the craft blog that I had started last year.

The header needs work. I threw up a bad quality picture of some recycled paper notebooks I made a few months ago just for the sake of having something there. I am about to flex my artistic muscles and see what I can do about that. I took several years of art classes as a teenager, so it’s been a while, but I think with a little practice, I can get back in the groove.  All of which means lots of “drawing time” with Mama, so Hali will be a happy girl!

Categories still need to be imported from the old blog. The blogroll needs changing. The page needs a ton of tweaking, which means I need to get a couple of books on css from the library tomorrow. We’ll see how that goes…

I haven’t blogged since Valentine’s Day. It feels like longer. There was a lot of turmoil and inner conflict going on. Wailing and gnashing of teeth. That sort of thing.

So. Along with our recent move, other things are changing as well. Including this blog. I was about to just let it go. But I realized that I need it.  I have found that I have forgotten a few things. Others are very hazy. Things like my daughter’s infancy. One should never EVER forget these things!

I love the blogging community.  I think I would just feel like a loser if I called myself a part of it yet didn’t have a blog myself. Not that you ARE a loser if you don’t blog, but….

So I will be combining this blog with my also neglected craft blog. I will be giving this blog an overhaul.  And the word ‘blog’ will no longer be part of the url. Yay! That’s pretty much it for now. I’ll set things up here, then start explaining just what has been going on!

Random picture: Frog mask from craft store, meet acrylic paint and Hali and her Mama. The pink dots were all Hali’s idea. She did the basic painting of colors then I went in with a fine paint brush in an attempt to sharpen things up. And make it even MORE girly by adding those ridiculous eyelashes!
