New Layout, Picture Time, and Halloween Sneak-Peek

I think I am finished with the new design.  I kept the basics but added new images in the background and Title Banner.  I'm excited!

Now that the new design is finished things should hopefully start rolling again. Makes me feel better.

Fall is almost here, and that means caramel apples, pumpkin pie, the leaves turning red, gold, and orange, and pecan-picking.  Last year we picked a plethora of pecans! Here is Lily playing with them.

 

I'm so excited to try all of the Fall Crafts I've seen online.  I'm hoping to finish a post on all of them to share with you all.

And here is a sneak-peek of our Halloween outfits...

 

 

Flashback Friday

Over the next few days My Little Lily Bud will be under construction.  In the mean time, I will do what I love most -- Post photos!  YAY! 

Did anyone miss my photos?

I am also working on getting some reviews up and running so keep an eye out for them.

A little bit of a backstory here to try and catch everyone up on my whereabouts:

Lily and I moved out of my grandmother's house and into a place of our own.  After many unforeseen circumstances I lost internet connection and then my computer broke. I started working full-time and lost track of everything.  Ended up moving to Alabama and have resided here with Lily and Joseph ever since.

In that time we have had some pretty good experiences.

                                                

We Have Returned!

After a long hiatus, Lily and I have returned to the world of blogging!  YAY!

It's been a long year and three months with a lot of loss, but we have gained a lot as well.  I will inform everyone when the time comes!

In the mean-time, I will leave a picture of my now two-year-old Lily.

Niche

"Do I have a niche?" I asked myself today.  I am one of many bloggers, but none of us are alike.  So where do I fall in the blogger world?

Now, I love freebies and giveaways and post them when I can but,  I am not a pure giveaway blog (though I have a couple coming up soon :) ) nor am I constantly updating about freebies (though a few here and there I do catch).

I take many pictures and post them on days Lily has not hidden my camera.  I am not a photography blog.

I make a few things here and there and majored in Studio Art, but am not a craft, art  or design blog.

I play massive amounts of video games.  Not that Facebook stuff, 'mind you.  Games with consoles or PC games, like Pokemon, Zelda, World of Warcraft...  I am not a gamer blog (though that would be wicked.)

I am a big animal person, but I'm not pet blogging.

I am a total New-Age nut and love mysticism and different faiths, ancient and modern.  I'm not a New-Age blogger.

Fashion.  I love it, but can't afford it LOL.  Definitely not a fashion blogger, though one day I MUST get a Spirit Hood.  That ties in with mysticism too :D

Organic and green living is a big part of my life (at least when I can.)  I'm not an eco-blogger.

Let's face it, I do not have a specific niche.  I'm pretty much a jack of all trades and master in none.  Except Mommydom.

Despite everything listed above, it doesn't change that I am a momma.  Lily is with me through all of the above and I wouldn't have it any other way.

It is my niche, to be a mom blogger, because no two of us are exactly alike.
