Um, hi. Remember me?

April 6, 2009

So, my 15 month old MacBook Pro hasn’t been waking up from sleep mode with increasing frequency. Up until this week, taking the battery out fixes it. ‘Cept Wednesday it didn’t. I take it in. They reset the power shmashmashma and send me home. Computer works perfectly for a day, [...]

March 4, 2009

Ohhhh I feel like a new grad on the morning of his first interview for that big job. Why???

I have launched the new design site over at Graphically Designing. And this is a big move! The blogginess of it all is gone. It a full-blown, grown-up girl site. Eeeeek!
And I’ve [...]

Bloggy Love

February 16, 2009

For awhile now, I’ve been wanting to share some of my favorite things around the blogosphere. My feed reader is about to implode because I have been working hard to whittle down the design queue over at Graphically Designing.
I call it Taming of the Queue. *snort* I crack me up. [...]

Shoemaker’s Wife, no more!

December 9, 2008

If you’re on a reader – pretty please stop by today!
You know the story of the shoemaker? He works and works in his field… but it’s the shoemakers wife who goes without shoes. That’s how it’s been with my little ol’ blog for waaayyy too long. I’ve been wanting to simply, declutter, [...]

Welcome to Iowa!

September 14, 2008

Welcome travelers from Blog Around the World. Thanks for stopping by! Welcome to the great state of Iowa.

That’s Iowa. Not Idaho. No potatoes here. Though we’ve got plenty of a different kind of crap er, crop.
Despite what you may think, Iowa is not the largest corn state. That [...]

A Little About Integrity

August 12, 2008

… this one is by request from my mom. I dedicate it to her.
Integrity: noun1 : firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values : incorruptibility
Integrity is the kind of upstanding character that means you do what’s right, even when no one is looking.
It means you take the high road, [...]

By request! I made an animated blinkie button that links back here. Want to keep up with the boybarians’ crazy antics? One click and you can transport yourself right back here to the craziness. Just copy and paste the code below the button and paste it into an html/java element in [...]

Another Round of "Ask LWM3B"

March 30, 2008

It’s been awhile since I’ve answered some of the reader emails. I guess if I don’t ever answer them, people are going to stop asking. So here are some I found while cleaning out my inbox yesterday…
(1.) You travel a lot. Where ya’ goin’ all these places, girlfriend?
Well, I don’t know [...]

I Crashed My Own Blog!

February 17, 2008

I’m sure that gives those of you who are in my design queue tons of confidence, but it’s true. Some of you may have happened upon my blog and gotten a message that Life With My 3 Boybarians was inaccessible with an error code. I was freaking out! I admittedly use my [...]

What’s Up, Buttercup?

January 25, 2008

Check it out! LWM3B has a new look. Seems I’m never satisfied with the look around here, and I am my pickiest customer. Doing this made me realize I need one of these. I made that coffee cup with a mouse. I *heart* it, despite its imperfections. But I’m [...]

The Nester is a Cuckoo GEM!

January 2, 2008

Remember my friend The Nester? She’s such a cool gal. She’s been such a pain in the @$$, uh, such a joy to work with on this project. She’s totally picky open-minded, and loved to give me very detailed criticism good advice about how to make a space totally perfect for her. [...]

Handy Work – Mmmm mmmm mmm.

December 26, 2007

I am still debating about whether or not I should post the photos of Handy Man’s big ‘April Fools in December’ joke on me. Turns out my “uncomfortable surprise” face is not altogether flattering; nor am I very clever at disguising how I really feel. I really need to work on my [...]

What Does Your Blog Say About You?

December 20, 2007

You’re hip. You’ve got style. You definitely aren’t one of those fit-a-mold types, right?
So why does your blog feel so… generic?
There are thousands of articles out there about improving your blog space, keeping reader interest and engaging passers-by. I can’t get into writing style here, but I can help with the aesthetics, [...]

Makeover Contest Results!

September 5, 2007

Here they are, the highly sought after (humor me!) Before & After pics of Jenny’s blog makeover. If you remember, Jenny won the first ever LWM3B contest. Jenny’s first blog had such cute little people, fun stories of her family and kids’ work. But it had a generic Blogger header and needed [...]
