I liked my last layout, but it bugged me that my widgets on the side didn't fit in the allotted area. I am so picky when it comes to something like this, but I think I found a good one.
I like this background because I love how intoxicatingly blue a cloudless sky can be. I also like the dandelion for a couple of reasons. First, it represents overlooked beauty. Even though it is a noxious weed, it still has a beauty of it's own - even as it dies. I also like how the seeded dandelion head reminds me of blowing them as a kid. It is still fun to do even now.

Erin I love the new layout too! You're so right that there is definitely overlooked beauty in a dandelion... very nice.
I can't wait to start using that cookbook you sent me, and I haven't read the Sarah Palin article yet but I will get back to you. You are the QUEEN of great forwards; you never send anything "junk" worthy! Thanks for the quality stuff & I'll get back to you soon.
Love the new background! It's funny that kids love dandelions so much, both when they are yellow and when they are poofy...they can see their beauty!
I also wanted to comment on your comment about not having an overwhelming desire to procreate. Even though I am having my 4th child, I don't think I ever felt that overwhelming desire past my first pregnancy. In fact, after every pregnancy I thought, "okay, if someone told me that I couldn't have any more kids I would be totally fine". I love my kids and do not regret one second of their lives, I really feel like I am better because of them, but I wouldn't say that I had them because I felt some overwhelming desire for a baby. I also do not feel maternal AT ALL toward other people's babies. I'm really not that interested in holding them at all. Even my siblings children. I seriously feel like I have no patience for other kids, besides my own. I love pictures of kids, and I can definitely appreciate their cuteness, but I really don't want to have to deal with them!! In fact, part of the reason I think we have so many is that Ray wanted a lot of kids. He has even talked about having more, but I really put my foot down. I have already discussed with my doctor and scheduled having my tubes tied right after this baby is born!
