New Look

If you have read my blog for awhile, you have probably noticed that I have an obsession with change. I cannot keep my blog looking the same way for more than a month (if that). I have changed my color, layout, pictures, title, etc. over and over again. What can I say? I just like change. I just get sick of looking at the same colors and design. I am one of those people who LOVE and live for change. I guess that is why I loved teaching Kindergarten and being the primary music leader. I always had to think of new ways to teach the same things. I get excited about and am constantly looking for new ideas and new ways to liven things up. I have even gone so far as using the Bernstein Bear book, "The Spooky Old Tree", to teach my laurels about morality and chastity.

Anyways, back to the reason why I have written this post. My sister (in all her creative genius) created a new look for my blog (as you can see). Of course, I absolutely love it. I told her to surprise me. After she completed it she showed it to her husband, Ryan, and he said, "it is very Melissa". I totally agree. When I called her to thank her she told me that the only stipulation is that I have to leave it be for at least one month. I think I can do it. :) So here's to my new look and to the best big sister in the whole world!!!!

I love your new look! Andrea did a good job; it does look like you!

The board book is adorable! I love brown and pink together. I still need to make my board books...

So that picture of Cloey and Katelund in the kitchen "cooking" reminded me that I still haven't seen pictures of your new place! I think you should give us a blog tour.

I love the look too. The header is adorable... and it made me think of this quote, from Elder Maxwell. It's one of my family's favorites:

“Moments are the molecules that make up eternity! Years ago, President Hinckley counseled:It is not so much the major events as the small day-today decisions that map the course of our living…Our lives are, in reality, the sum total of our seemingly unimportant decisions and of our capacity to live by those decisions.”

Very nice, Andrea! You have an awesome big sister, Mel. How do you guys come up with all of this fancy stuff? I guess Cloey gets her "fancy" from you and yours? Great blog and I'm with ya on the changing.....might as well embrace it, right?

I can't believe you are the Primary music leader too! I just did my program. It is definitely a calling that makes you come up with new ways to teach.
