Trying something new

I found out through The McMommy Chronicles that there is this new way to blog. it’s called Windows Live Writer and she loved it so much and gushed so much about it that I decided to try it.

 

A few things I noticed right away that I liked……

  • It has all the fantastic doodads that Microsoft Word has like automatically underlining when something is spelled incorrectly (right click and it gives the correct spelling). This alone might sell me on this program.
  • It is super easy to insert a picture. You just copy and paste them from any of your files and in it goes! It allows you to add a few little touches like borders too which I did to the photo below.

 

city I used this photo of Chicago as a celebration of a trip to this wonderful city planned TODAY with our BFF’s Tammy and Paul for June!

  • Once you are ready to post, you just hit publish and it puts it into your blog. All done for you. You can even view it from the menu on the right side. Easy Peasy.
  • You can add maps, tables, video….all with a click.

That’s my house. See our trampoline and garden?  It literally took two seconds for that to show up. I am kind of sitting here shocked, actually.

This is where my parents are this week. I miss them.

Fun album addition!

 

 

I am sold. I think you should check it out.  I love this. Click here to download. Let me know if you have issues when you try to publish. I did and got some help. I can walk you through it.

Our poor Vikes lost last night. HEARTBREAKER of a game. Oh well, great season. Bring on the TWINS!!

Masters, Straight Teeth, and Blog

I set simple goals. I am not good with disappointment, and I am too realistic for my own good. This is why my long term goals have been quite simple:
  • Get my teeth straightened
  • Get my masters degree in education
  • Start a blog about my family
The first two on that list have been accomplished. And I am finally starting the third one....today! This is my first blog post. Unreal. So far, I think I am going to like it. This blog will make up for where my scrapbooking talents lack. It will be a historical journey for my kids to read someday. I would have loved it if my mom had done this and I was able to look back at pictures and posts about my life as a kid. I hope they appreciate it and value it when they grow up. Plus, I needed a place to post their beautiful faces...... Stick with me, see what happens, enjoy the ride. Lee Anne
