A couple of months ago, I contacted Elena at Three Little Birdies Designs to create a new look for MommieJoys.  Being new-ish to the blog scene, I didn't really know what I wanted/needed.  Elena was an incredible help!  I figured out the style I wanted, and she took it from there.  Buttons, header, social media icons, phone layout, etc.  Amazing.  She was always so quick to answer my questions, and I never felt pressured to be done and gone.   Read more >

If you’re wondering how I find time to blog every day… I don’t.Typically if I can find chunks of time to write, I will put together a few blog posts that aren’t too time-sensitive and schedule them for the coming week. I always have half-written drafts going, though most of them don’t make it to publishing for one reason or another. This has been my system for blogging for some time – since well before I had Julius. I hate letting my blog sit fallow for even one day during the week, though I do take weekends off.  Read more >

Color is powerful. Color is dangerous. Used correctly, color digs deep inside of us, urging us to act, pouncing on our instincts, and releasing our emotions into the wild. Most of us experience raw reactions to color, even if we’re not conscious of color as that catalyst. Many of these reactions are illogical, stemming from passionate or painful memories long past. In other words, our life experiences change our opinions on color.  Read more >
