October Review

Posted by Mom at 7:35pm in Announcements, Blogging

October was an amazing month for me.  Here are some of the highlights:

First the “Bloggy Stuff”

October was a month of great work accomplishment

My team completed a work project that’s been in the making for almost five years (seriously).  Due to a number of issues, mainly budget cuts, this project was always put on the backburner…until this year. 

I derive deep satisfaction from knowing it’s done and seeing the many ways our company will benefit from it.

We kicked the Starbucks Habit!

Last month, I wrote about the Starbucks breakup and as promised here is the update on how we’re doing.
In 28 days, we went twice.  We saved $230 this past month by breaking the daily foo-foo coffee habit!  WOW!

Dad and I are examining other areas of spending to see where else we can cut back.

November is promising to be a great month!

My workload will be heavy as another big project gets underway, but I am looking forward to Thanksgiving and spending time with family.  I hope everyone reading can take time this month to spend with their loved ones.

What are you looking forward to?

Mom’s New Design is Simply Divine

Posted by Mom at 10:41am in Announcements, Blogging

Well…here it is!

I am thrilled to welcome you to the new Mom Coming Home design.

When I recently re-dedicated myself to blogging, I decided I needed a new look…something fresh and different, and not an “out of the box” template.  Something that reflects MY personality.  Seeing as I do not have talent for design, I knew I required help to get the look I was after.

After much research, I found E.Webscapes Blog Design Studio and was paired with Joni Ang.  Joni is an amazing and talented designer!  I am so thankful she took my sad little blah blog and transformed it into this fun and vibrant nook on the web.

Joni is a delight to work with.  She truly took the time to understand what I wanted for my blog design.  She also handled the conversion from Movable Type to WordPress…whew!  That alone makes this busy mama skip with satisfaction!

If you’re looking for a blog or website designer, be sure to check out Joni and E.Webscapes.  I know Dad and I will be using them for our future web design needs!
