Soooo what do you think? Is it adorable or what?
I am so pleased with the way it turned out, we are still working a few kinks out and the cuteness is just gonna get cuter (can you imagine) by the minute as April works her bloggy magic, but I am in love.
April from April Showers Blog Design is the bombhizzle YO!
This is the second design she has created for me and let me tell you she is awesome. I loved my first design and our family just outgrew it. She also has an amazing new illustrator who worked her magic big time creating J, Big Daddy and a WAY cuter version of me!
Truly, the coolest thing about April is that she gives you WHATEVER you want...even when she tells you it is not gonna look good, and you insist it is exactly what you want.
Then she spends her time creating it and you go with her original design, cuz what you "thought" was gonna look good looked lame, just like she said it would.
Dude, THAT is a designer who knows how to Work. It. Out.
AND keep her client happy, and I may be her hardest to please client to date...I think she would agree.
Do yourself a favor...if you are thinking about a Bloggy Makeover, go to April. Get on her list now, she is a popular girlie...but well worth the wait! She also does incredible announcements, business cards and MORE!
So leave me a comment telling me what you like best about the new design and enter to win either a $10 Starbucks card OR a $20 Borders card...let me know which one you want!
Extra Entries? (yes, please)

PLEASE only leave ONE comment for each thing you do...not FIVE. I will do the math, trust me!
Also...I will be announcing Mamarazzi's Red, White and Blue Swap in the next few days...YAY!! Be on the lookout, these swaps fill up fast and I am keeping them smaller these days.

Very cute! I love the little flowers that separate the tabs on your header. And, that twitter button is a scream...did April create that as well?
I'm already a blog follower and I now have your new button on my blog sidebar

I love how the people are so real and not fake. They really do resemble you.
I LOVE the new look- the header is my favorite. The picture of you 3 and the idea that there are LOTS of ways to make you deams come true- PERFECT! You know, the idea that there isn't just ONE path in life to get you to happiness- we can each take our own path and reach happiness. LOVE it!!

I LOVE IT!!! Especially the illustration! I'm getting an illustration too, so I can't wait to see what she comes up with. See, I love and trust your judgement enough that I even got on the wait list before I saw this uber cuteness!
Never been to Starbucks. Do they have things other than coffee? If so, I'm open to either gift card!
I already follow you, and can't wait to add your super cute button once my makeover is complete!
Yeah, decided not to collect buttons until I have a button to share, but you ARE on my sidebar!
The new design is really cute!! I am a follower!
Oh. And I follow you on Facebook. You already know my handle, of course!
I want the Borders card ;) I always love new books.
I love the new look. The actual dandelion being blown is the best. The picture and title of the blog just go together now. It all fits.
I do follow you via google friend connect. That is how I saw this new layout/giveaway post.
I also am a facebook follower. :)
I love the unique way she has captured your family in your header. LOVE that!

I am also a follower of yours!

Well. Just for the record I added your button even before I read this post. Stalk much? :S LOVE the new design! Simple and sweet. And I would have told you that even without the promise of a giveaway. But if you're asking...I'd love a Borders gc.
I am already a follower and a FB fan.
P.S. Glad you mentioned the swap too. I was beginning to worry I had missed it during my move. Yippee!!
My question is: Do your husband and daughter like being on it? I am working on a new header for mine and my husband says NO WAY does he want to be on it.
So cute...love the little details like the knee holes in the jeans. I would love the Borders card...Ky is asking those fun questions about what certain parts are called on boys and girls and where babies come from so I think we need some books to help us out on that.
I'm also a follower and FB fan!

I love the cuteness that is you and your flip flops. I also love the frog on Jordan. So cute!
OMG!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new site!!!! So clean and fresh!!!
I'm already a follower but I am going to become a fan on FB right now! :)
I love the little frog on her back. Your family looks so good!! I really love the design!
I am already a follower and I added the new button! I love this design.
P.S. I am so excited for the blog swap!!
I'm a follower & FB fan. I LOVE your new layout. So fun and so creative. I would kill to have that type of creativity. Okay, maybe not kill...that's a little extreme, but you know what I mean. If I won I'd love the Borders gc. And I might be interested in the swap this go 'round. It looks like so much fun!!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!! My favorite part though is probably Jordan's character at the top. Happy and carefree...and of course hanging out with a frog!! :)
I just FINALLY followed your blog, but I'm already a fan on facebook!
ps: can canadians even participate??
It's adorable!! Love it all! =) Congrats on the new look!!
I love it!! It looks great:-)
My totally favorite thing of this fabulous make over is the red flip flops you are wearing in the header. I know, it's a sickness really. Thanks for the chance. I'd probably like the Borders card better.
