Yesterday my blog looked like this:
I had gotten in a funk. As much as I loved my design a few months ago, it still just wasn’t quite what I wanted. I have actually been through 6 or 8 redesigns (yeah, don’t add that up – my accountant almost choked) in the last 2 years, struggling to find something that I really LOVED and felt “at home” in. It is hard to stay inspired to write in an environment that doesn’t inspire you!
The problem was I could never describe what I wanted. “Colorful, girly, and fun” leaves a LOT to a designers imagination. I am one of those people that can not visualize anything in my head – I have to SEE it to know if I like it or not. Thankfully Greg is incredibly patient (or seems to be online – though I am sure he thanks God daily that we do not live in the same town) and has come up with some designs that we have scratched entirely.
But this time was different. I was finally able to say “Greg, I know exactly what I want and I am ready for a complete overhaul.”
And he did it.
Perfectly.
I am so stoked about my new design. And I am excited to offer some new elements and stuff to share with my readers – my new “Oh The Places We Go” which will be all about my travels both for work and pleasure. “At The Movies” will of course bring you all of the new movie trailers and my personal reviews – have you seen Iron Man 3 yet?? Its AMAZING and I cant WAIT for Hangover 3 – and you can also easily check out my other projects – Party Plan Divas, Top Mom Blogger, Guilty or Guilt Free and The Blogging Planner – right from MoscatoMom.
I am totally feeling reenergized and reinspired and ready to get back to blogging with passion again… well, that is after I get back from Brandcation DESTINation. 🙂
Thank you SO much to Greg from Engine1Media for putting up with me and continuing to ROCK your designs. I love love love love love it!
It looks great! Greg did an awesome job as always!

That header is fantastically awesome. I need to rebrand at some point in the future. First I need a way better logo, and then I’ll need a way better overall template!
This really looks slick, though. Congrats!

There really is nothing like loving your design, especially when you have to stare at it day in and day out. Both design are cute. But, I’m happy you’re all settled in now! 😀
