Thanks to all of you for your patience while we sorted out the weird photo of the day glitch on mobile devices! It was a tricky problem but luckily my tech guy figured it out. That’s why he gets the big bucks. Hopefully the blog is easier to read now on mobile devices, but I would love your feedback!

Almost Over
James finally starts Pre-K on Wednesday, hurraaaaay! Every morning when we drop Annabel off at school he says, “Do I get to go to school today?” I’ll miss my little buddy when he’s at school, but the two of us have had fun together during these two Annie-free weeks. And on Friday, James had lunch with his best buddy, Cait. My friend Tara (Cait’s mom) and I were laughing at how they looked like they were on a date.
Discussion topics included seeing who could count the highest, light up shoes, and farts. Typical four-year-old stuff.

Stephanie says:
Still lots of ads on mobile view?
Heather says:
Are you seeing more than two or three? That should be the limit (gotta pay those hosting fees!).
Bianca Pellet says:
I’m getting loads of ads now on the website when I access it via my laptop. This is definitely new and not sure I like it
Heather says:
Really? How many are you seeing? It’s never supposed to be more than 2 or 3.
Bianca Pellet says:
One huge one all along the bottom of the screen (definitely new).
And two in the right-hand sidebar, which at times cut off the commenting box halfway.
It’s not so much the number that I mind; it’s more that they seem to be appearing in a more intrusive way than previously.
Heather says:
ah okay! Thank you for letting me know. I had to switch to a new server, so we’re still working out the kinks (cutting off the comment box is not okay!), so I really appreciate you letting me know. I know the ads can be intrusive sometimes, so I’m trying to find the balance so I can pay those hosting fees
Bianca Pellet says:
No worries! Totally understand
Jordan says:
Heather, I saw this article on the mighty and thought of you:

Don’t know if it’s something that would be triggering for you, but I know you’ve shared about this before so I wanted to pass it along.
Great articles this week- thanks for the heads up on the Etsy sale!!
??
Heather says:
Oh thanks! I will check this out…maybe with a glass of wine.
jordan says:
