Marathon Webdesign

I posted on the Au Coeur Facebook page yesterday that I was working away on a web design project.  That might have been an understatement.  I might have gotten a little carried away and unable to stop, and in a little over a 24 hour time frame, I took the website for Papoose from plain-jane to this:

I thought I might have been a little sad about the change over, since the original version was the first website I built — a lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into that site.  I hand-coded it in Dreamweaver, learning as I went (basically by trial and error).  It was a decent site and I was pretty proud of it at the time.  But let me tell you, I’ve learned a lot since January, and my websites look eons better.  I wasn’t sad to see that website go at all.

Not only does the new site look and work better, it also better represents where I am with the business.  Go check it out and come back here to leave me a comment with your thoughts.  If you see a bug, glitch, or something that just looks funny, please let me know!  You won’t hurt my feelings; I’m assuming there must be one there somewhere since I built the site in…a day.  Yes, I’m crazy.

P.S.  I almost left you hanging…but realized I couldn’t do it.  Raise your hand if you’re interested in brief update on Papoose and I’ll add it in Sunday’s report card.  (You can also get a little taste by trolling around Papoose’s website.)

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
