I've made a few changes to my blog.... first the background (if you are viewing it on a desktop/laptop you will see it - mobile views not so much.... ). And then the name change. So if you have my old blog saved, you might want to update it. I made the change from what used to be my role on a mom message board, oh so many years ago... and while I will forever be a mom to my boys.. the stigma of being Mama Jodi has long since faded away, and it was just time to make the change. This is reflected on most of my social media outlets as well. And it fits me oh so well... I am all things crafty and creative!
We are still dealing with the mechanic with my husbands car, and its so annoying on so many levels, as well as frustrating with them holding our car "hostage"(long story). So hoping that they call tomorrow and say its finally fixed! I am ready to have my truck back (although I secretly think the hubs is loving driving it!)
Now onto the Happy Homemaker Monday post.
I am linking up with Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. Head on over to find some other great bloggers.

ReplyDeletebib brother... maybe the two women could be left standing. BIP Loved this season! More people seem to get married from BIP than the regular show. Demi should not get engaged, she seems to need to date not commit yet. CLothespin wreath is cute, they're all cute. Survivor is returning soon...
ReplyDeletehappy week! Leeanna
Oh and 79 is technically the seventies and I'm envious! LA.
DeleteI love all the crafts! I wish we had your weather. Today is a high of 98 degrees. 😎
ReplyDeleteThe Ranch? I haven't heard of that one, I'll have to check it out. I saw ribs on your menu and I started to really crave some. Will have to pick some up this weekend for the grill. Love the new blog design and name. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI like the changes you've made on the blog, Jodi! Your menus look great and I love your crafty stuff...especially the way the temperature afghan is coming along. It's very pretty and your temperatures are AWESOME! Have a great week ahead, Sweet Lady! <3
ReplyDeleteOh mechanic issues, so frustrating. They held my car for over 2 months and then denied the warranty and we had to tow it back still not running.
ReplyDeleteYour blog looks lovely. Your menu looks yummy, and those books look really interesting.
I hope you have a fantastic week.
Hi Lovie!
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE the new blog look and the name change. It is absolutely perfect for you!! One of my favorite things I look forward to each week is seeing what crafty business you've been up to. Lol
That sunflower cross stitch turned out so adorable!! I'm totally in love! And the next cross stitch looks like it's going to be just as adorable. And what lucky family members that they get to receive some Jodi originals for gifts. 😉
I hope that the mechanic issues get worked out soon. Ugh!! Blessings to you my Friend xoxo
The scrabble tiles are adorable! Love the sunflower art also very pretty!
