little by little

I’m so excited to be here today in my new space.  Everything in its place, I hope you like it.  While I was moving from Blogger I figured out I had bitten off more than I could chew and boy was I in  over my head.  Thankfully for me I was rescued by a blogging Angel er Maven (more on that later this week).  It was kind of like the time when Poppa and I were moving out of our first home together to a bigger place.  I decided that we could manage it in our Ford Explorer…. bad idea.

There is a big learning curve still ahead of me and so much that I probably will get stuck on but I am feeling so much peace here knowing that my little blog will hopefully not crash on anyone and anyone who wants to comment definitely can.  I want to thank you for being here today with me.  For visiting my new home.  I hope you will like it as much as my old one and even more.

Did Imention that through the past few days Matthew has declared his independence from sitting on my lap and is now crawling as fast as we can crawl after him.  He is off on an adventure everytime I turn my head.  We are both pretty exhausted by all this new excitement.

That is our life, always a new something to deal with or adjust to and as always I will get there… little by little

moving day

By on July 11, 2013 in Uncategorized

 

Tomorrow is the big day.  Don’t worry, we aren’t leaving the farm but we are leaving Blogger behind for greener pastures.  I am not sure what to expect tomorrow but I can tell you to expect a new name, a new hosting site and hopefully a better visiting experience.

We like to make sure our homestead is neat and tidy when visitors come over.  You know, no dirty finger prints on the windows, no splatters on the stove and a nicely swept porch but tomorrow there may be a mess around here and I hope you will wait around while we get back to normal.

For those of you who do not like change, I am sorry 🙁  but I have had so many problems with this blog in the last year (such as not allowing me to upload all the pictures I intended for this post) and it hurts me to receive so many emails from some of you letting me know that my blog crashes or you cannot leave me a comment so…. no more!  You deserve better and so do I!

Think of it as we are moving out of a termite ridden, leaky roof, no curb appeal house to a home where we can stretch out and get comfy.  Won’t you come along with me?  I do this for you.  No panicking, this blog will always redirect you to my new home and if you click on any old links you might have saved or find on Pinterest, it will also take you to our new abode.  So, please be patient while I unpack and get all the furniture moved to just the right spot.

Right now, I am feeling quite nervous about the whole thing but tomorrow will hopefully go off without a hitch since I have hired someone to do the migration to WordPress (oh, you didn’t think I could do this by myself did you?).

Oh and the name…. is that what you were waiting for?  I guess I shouldn’t make you wait any longer.  After much thinking and then my sweet babies buying me the domain name for Mother’s day, my new name will be Farmishmomma.com.  I am still as Catholic as I have ever been but we felt that this name was a good fit and I hope you will think so too.

See you at the new homestead, no need to bring any baked goods or welcome home gifts 😉
