To my readers: I'm so, so sorry that I've been off the blog for so long. Vacation with no wifi turned into start of school chaos with the kids. I then took a big breath and the inlaws came in for a week visit. All this while a large contract with one of my better-paying clients fell into my lap that involved me commuting 2-hours a day downtown. I'm going to try to work in a mental breakdown somewhere, but don't have the time. Ever get that feeling yourself?
Meanwhile, I'm having big thoughts as I commute of redesigning the blog. I need a new banner on the top. The red lips have been great, but I think we need a visual "makeover." Let me know your thoughts and if you would like to be in my beta test group. I'm going to send out ideas to a select few readers and beg for your input. So leave me your email either in the comments or drop me an email at renee@lapdwife.com and let me know. (read more below the photo)
Meanwhile, here's a pretty picture from my vacation on the Central Coast of California. The coastline pic is near Ragged Point in Big Sur, just north of where Hearst Castle is. Google Hearst Castle if you haven't heard of it - it's amazing. The flowers were ones at a local garden. If any of you want to send me flowers, I looooove daisies. One of my top 5 faves as far as flowers go. Now... breathe... anyone know yoga?!
I say a new banner would be awesome and I am sure you will come up with something great!

I would love to offer input on a new banner if you care to let me!
As for the overwhelming life, I totally hear you, and yes, yoga is nature's balm for stress. I actually posted on my personal blog about it not too long ago. It's how I find the most peace in such a crazy world!

Yes, I missed your blogging! And I love your California pictures. So pretty. My family is all there right now visiting with my brother and his new baby. I'll make it there eventually.
i would love to see what you come up with for your new look.
