We Moved – Since we moved in September, we had to dedicate time to taking care of an overflowing home and business todo list. We are still trying to get it together, but things are falling in to place.

The Disappearing Dad – As you may have noticed, Greg has gone on hiatus. His blogging mojo has gone out the window and I let that affect mine as well. After many months of frustration, wanting him to write, wondering if I should start a new blog so that there was no obligation from a Dad’s perspective, I’ve decided to keep it moving. Re-branding at this time is a headache I just don’t feel like going through. Greg will continue to help with backend stuff. I will continue to pick his brain and when he’s ready to write again, whenever that may be, I’ll be here cheering him on.

New Theme – For a short period of time, there was an autumn theme up with leaves. We didn’t like it, it was doing too much. We wanted something clean, simple, and easy modify. Our time is spread thin and we can’t spend hours tinkering with customizations like we used to, so Thesis really helps us cut down on blog maintenance.

New Tagline Needed – Um yea, the old tagline was way too long. Jr. High Sweethearts Chronicle Their Adventure Through Parenthood! Say what? And Young parents trying to figure this parenting thing out… is so lackluster. It was rushed when we released the new theme. I wanted something new up as we moved in to our new place and honestly, I think the tagline sucks. My bad. *brainstorming*

Commentators Win Prizes – I get so many opportunities to review and giveaway prizes, but I am unable to write reviews and run promos for them because my time is limited. That, or either I can’t use the product in the first place, but I know someone out there can. So I will be paying it forward to you guys by offering a prize to one of the top commentators of the month. The monthly prize and well as top commentator scores will be displayed on the sidebar. This is my thank you to those who continue to stick around, come out of lurking even when I’m not posting anything insightful. November’s sponsor is Glade, they will be providing a prize pack of goodies from their Holiday collection! The candles smell sooo good! [edit] After giving it a trial run, I’ve decided not to continue with the top commentators giveaway. I don’t see myself being able to keep up. Sorry! [/edit]

Handmade & Eco Lovelies – This section of our sidebar is to support handmade, green, and natural parenting products. If you have a product that fits this category, feel free to submit your product here. All we ask is that you submit a product for reviewing; sponsoring a giveaway is optional.

Virtual Food Drive – We are using our Holiday Gift Guide to help raise money for our Virtual Food Drive. We are hosting one big giveaway and a few other giveaways for some awesome prizes to bring awareness to the food drive. Our goal is to raise $500 because this is our first time doing something like this. We are hoping to exceed our goal with your help!
