Thanks for joining me at The Mile High Mama! It has been over a year since I switched my Twitter account to @TheMileHighMama and I intended to do the same for my blog. Problem was my web designer was too busy and said I wasn’t paying him enough.
Husbands these days.
Last week, I resolved I was going to revamp my blog, even if I had to pay. And so I received some bids from graphic designers. When I made my decision to go with a good friend, Jamie and I did research on templates and backgrounds to send to her. He started playing around with everything on Photoshop and before we knew it, he had designed it himself.
Get this: I didn’t even mean to manipulate him!
Of course, this site is a work-in-progress. I’ll still be writing about my family’s misadventures (click the tab Mommy Blogger for all those stories).
I will also occasionally be adding a new element to this blog: recipes. I love to cook and Pinterest has reignited my desire to experiment. My recent foodie post was about our dinner party on Sunday where we indulged on grilled pizzas (one of them strawberry balsamic chicken), apple cider floats and we made caramel apples for dessert. Click the links for recipes and the stories behind them (like when I infected my entire family with my caramel popcorn).
I’d say I’ll try to post a recipe a week but that’s waaaaaay too committal for me.
So, welcome! Be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed if you haven’t already or enter your email on the sidebar to have my posts delivered to your inbox. Please be patient because we’re still configuring everything.
And for next time? The highs and lows of my recent trip to Steamboat Springs and why you need to remember to bring a mountain bike in order to go mountain biking.
Go figure.
