I'm No Expert...

But I'm kind of loving my new blog name and design! Since I'm a cheap-o do-it-yourself kind of girl, I, um, did it myself.

Sure, I could pay someone to make my blog look fabulous. But I'd hate to spend the money, get a lovely new blog design, then decide I'm sick of it after a few months. I have a tendency to change my mind a lot. (And, P.S., I'm not a graphic designer, and I have very limited Photoshop skills! If I can do it - anyone can!)

The new name: obviously adapted from the old adage "First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage." Suits my life, I think. And, it's also a little "note-to-self" that LOVE (for family, friends, God) should always, always, always come FIRST.

The design: I've been dying for a three-column design f-o-r-e-v-e-r, so I used Blogger's "Picture Window" template, then made necessary changes from there.

What do y'all think?

(Really. I want to know. If something looks funky or "off" on your computer, please tell me! I've only seen it on my own screen, and we all know that websites look different from computer to computer!)

I hope your week is off to a great start!
