If you only know me from my work as a virtual assistant, writer, and web designer, you may not know that I am also the mother of four children–two of them with congenital heart defects. As you can imagine, that gives me a vested interest in bringing awareness to the devastating effects of CHDs, as well as very strong feelings about making sure that all children have the resources for fantastic medical care.
February 7-14 has been designated Congenital Heart Defects Awareness Week. I’ve been joined by two other heart moms and bloggers to found a Pinterest board in honor of those who have CHDs. Please join me in showing support for CHD awareness and research by visiting our board, The Faces of CHD, and repinning the stories you find there that touch you.
If you’d like more information about putting your own child’s face on our board, or about my own experiences with CHDs, please visit my “fun” blog, A Trip to Holland.
I recently returned home from Altitude Design Summit. It was an amazing opportunity for me to learn more about the business of blogging and meet hundreds of talented bloggers.
I’m featuring some of those bloggers over at my “fun” blog, A Trip to Holland. Step on over there today to get to know Nikki from The Salty Pineapple.
As a side note…Nikki has an absolutely delightful site design going on. You really should visit her blog and take a look!
Each week I contribute an Etsy shop feature for Remodelaholic’s For Sale By Owner Shop Linkup. It’s a tough job–I’m “forced” to browse Etsy, looking for shops that are especially interesting and adorable to feature. I’m particularly excited about this week’s shop, Here and There. Go over to Remodelaholic to read all about it!

Craftaholics Anonymous is a fantastic blog devoted to all things crafty…as you may have guessed from the name! Blogger Linda is incredibly creative and talented, pumping out new crafts and tutorials for her fellow Craftaholics to enjoy on almost a daily basis. Linda wanted a way for her readers to be able to easily access and find all of her craft tutorials. She asked me to create a new tutorial page for her, that would be both comprehensive and easy to navigate. Check out Linda’s new tutorial page!
I write the “5 Ways Saturdays” posts at Infarrantly Creative. My mouth watered the whole time I was researching and writing this week’s 5 Ways to Enjoy a Cup of Hot Chocolate. Yum!

Have you heard? Pantone’s 2012 Color of the Year is…(drumroll, please)…
I’m doing a little freshening-up here at Windmill Words, and a squirt of tangerine seemed like just the thing.
I’m also in the process of adding a bit of tangerine zest to the sister site of Windmill Words, A Trip to Holland. Feel free to jump on over there to view the changes as they progress. (I can’t promise that everything is perfect, yet.) Here’s a sample:
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the colorful changes here at Windmill Words.
If you would like to give your own site a fresh new look for 2012, please contact me. I’m new to the world of blog design, and as I gain experience, you can benefit from my current low rates. Need some inspiration? Take a look at some of the Studio Press theme demos that I have experience customizing.
