As you can see, I changed the design. I loved the other design that Mrs. Flinger made for me, but I felt that my side bars were starting to get to crowded and it was looking really cluttered. So, after helping my hubby with his blog, and falling in love with his theme, I changed to this one.

Also, I have been reading a lot of blogs trying to find ways to improve my own. I completed a course on improving my blog (can’t find the web address right now), and I have signed up for various tracking sites. I am currently in the process of learning to write more focused blog entries.

In an attempt to make money, I have been writing reviews for a few different services. I knwo that a lot people don’t agree with using services that pay one to blog, but the fact of the matter is that it is not too bad. While there are many bloggers who write reviews on anything just to get a buck, I make it a point to only take review assignments that are about services that (1) I would use and (2) are actually good services. I hope that doing these reviews will not weaken the validity of my blogging.

I am also running another site called Kristina Reviews. As a first-time-mom I am learning alot about what products are actually worth my money and the time. Kristina Reviews is my review site where I speak honestly about products that I have and/or am using. I do not accept money for these reviews, and while people do send me products to try, these reviews are 100% free from monetary obligation.

Anyway, that is what I have been up to online. I am also a teacher so much of my time spent planning lessons and what not. I lead a very crazy life.
