Whoa, it’s been a while since I have posted on this site! It’s not because I forgot about it, I have been super busy!
I had a baby 9 days after my last blog post, and she is now 2 months old. She’s pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. Since then, I have been taking it easy getting to know my little one. But of course, the creative side is calling – so I am starting up projects again!

The first project is a complete redesign of Meg’s a Mommy, my personal mommy blog. Since starting it back in 2009, I have been redesigning it yearly – but this time I am going for a more branded look. Something I can make a style guide with, and stick to. All blogs should be a brand – and I always keep that in mind when designing for my clients, I don’t know why I neglected it for myself! I am my own worst client I guess.

I am also working on another blog and logo design for past client – for a warm up before I start freelancing hardcore again. How I will do this with 2 small children under the age of 3, I do not know – but I have to have something to do that isn’t changing diapers and entertaining two little people who can’t talk! They say that when it comes to motherhood, you should use the oxygen mask theory. Web design is me putting on my mask first and taking care of myself so that I can be great at taking care of my children.

I’m just lucky that I can make money from something I love to do! It really doesn’t feel like work, and I guess that’s the point of freelancing and being your own boss!

I am also taking care of myself by way of eating well and exercising. Being a web designer can keep you at your desk (or in my case on the couch) a lot of the day (or night), so I am probably going to be writing about that on this blog as well. This site is meant to be a portfolio site as well as a personal blog – somewhere I can empty my brain and share things I am learning and complain and all that good stuff. (as well as write run-on sentences)

Have you ever read The Artist’s Way? I am think of digitally doing the morning pages on here as well, but keeping them as private posts…

Okay, Well, motherhood calls so I have to gulp down this coffee and go play! Talk to you soon!
