Blog Header Work:
So for the past two days I've been working on changing the presentation of my header. I hope everyone likes it. I wanted it to be more enticing to readers. I've found that as I'm looking at the blogs of others, I'm thinking I don't want to read a whole lot to figure out what their intent is. I want to know upon opening the blog. Hopefully I've accomplished that. Let me know what you think!

Slide Show on Blog:
I've also been attempting to create a slide show of items I have in my store dnaetc.com but using Picasa with Google I haven't been able to get beyond making the slide show. Posting it in here correctly has proven to be a challenge. I've posted the question on mylot to see if someone can offer some advise. As I've that site is full of talented people that are a huge help.

Word of Mouth:
I found out the person that purchased from my store recommended my blog to some women at his work. That's exciting! Word of mouth is so important. Feel free to forward this site onto anyone you know that maybe interested in such a site. It's fantastic source for stay-at-home moms and moms in the work place.

MY FIRST SALE!!! Does Desire = Success

I got my first sale on my website! I'm so excited!!! It's been a year.

It's been just two weeks since I started making a go of trying to market the website. Up until now I had half hearted attempts to get traffic to my website, but this time it's different. Why? I think the insecurity of possibly losing my job, or my desire to leave my job, or my increased desire to be at home with my kids, or my desire to have another child. I want to be able to stay at home if I have another child. I want to be a full time mom if I have another one. I feel strongly that the life of my family would greatly improve if I could be a full time mother. Not that life is bad, but it could just be better. The house could be spic and span, I could parent 24/7, I could be a great wife to my husband. It's hard to explain to anyone that doesn't see that as the ideal situation, but the passion and desire to be at home rather than at work for those 40 hours a week is my goal. Hopefully desire = success.
