Hi guys,
Just a heads-up that I’m redesigning The Sensible Mom again. π I still don’t know exactly what I’m looking for in this blog, so, I’ll be trying things out.

Remember the giveaway that took place last month? Teresa of Creative Cowgirl won the giveaway, and her new design is up and running. Teresa originally had a wordpress.com blog, but we’ve moved the blog to a self-hosted WordPress platform. I’ve also created a fun and fabulous new design for Teresa. Please visit her blog to take a peek firsthand and see how creative and talented she is! π
I want to share with you guys my latest blog design project. It’s a design done on a wordpress.com blog for Patty of Pk’s House. We ended up doing three revisions until we got the design just right, but it was worth it to hear Patty say that she loves her new design. It was a pleasure to work with her, and I want to invite you to visit her blog and check out the design for yourself. The name of her blog isΒ Pk’s house.
Okay….so I’m a little late, but better late than never, right? The truth is I spent quite a bit of time over the weekend working on another project, and then when I tried to get away today to work on the finishing touches of the business website, my plans went down the tubes. Ruben kindly let me sneak out of the house so that I could go to a certain fast food restaurant for their free wi-fi. Um…too bad the wi-fi turned out to be extremely s.l.o.w. and twenty minutes after I sat down, I still had nothing done due to the slow connection and the timing out.
I decided to try Starbucks instead, but right after I pulled in, Ruben called me with the news that I needed to go home because he got a phone call and needed to fax some things asap. And we don’t own a fax machine, so, he needed the car. Long story short, I spent the afternoon trying to finish the website amidst wild children and ended up taking several breaks. But it’s done. Finally.
The name? The business is called “Purely Sensible Design,” and I’ll be specializing in blog design for Blogger, self-hosted WordPress blogs, and WordPress.com blogs. You can visit the site by going to www.purelysensibledesign.com. π And I truly have to thank the Lord for giving me the vision for this website and for His strength in getting it where it is today. It wasn’t easy.
