And the Website Came to Life!

By Diana

Today Paul and I spent hours on the website trying out a new theme and I am really happy with the new layout.  I am so thankful that both my brothers are so smart and are willing to help out when I need them!

I have spent so many hours on this today that I am a little bit tired of looking at the computer but I am not very sleepy for some reason so I keep going at it.  I made a couple new sections: Movies, Books, and Reviews.  In these three sections I am planning on writing reviews, maybe someone will find some value or at least some comedy in them.  I must must must do a vlog.  A lot of the items can be in vlog form, especially if it is a product.

Alright, going to take something to help me sleep and I guess keep plugging away at this :)

This is a book by a YouTube artist that I am subscribed to Mamrie Hart.  One of the interesting things about Mamrie is that she is the daughter of an actor who played in In the Heat of the Night, which I certainly watched as  a kid.

The book is a very comical telling of the many funny events that have happened in her life so far.  She has also incorporated drink recipes to set the tone for each chapter.  She hosts the YouTube channel You Deserve a Drink where she also makes crazy funny and unique drinks.

I don't normally read books like this, but I wanted to support her because I appreciate the content she publishes on YouTube and I knew it would be a funny tale.  I am not sure which of my friends I would recommend this book to, but I certainly enjoyed it.

Not exactly sure what to put here, but this is basically my family’s website and I have a bunch of content on here. Most of the stuff is mine, but that’s OK!!

Right now I am really working hard on the site to make it something great. I love the new layout and I need to focus on adding the meaningful content. I am currently doing daily blogs and will soon be adding some sort of vlogs. Not sure if that is going to be like a daily or weekly thing or maybe just for something special. I am having a hard time starting that so we will see how it goes.

Merry Christmas!!

By Diana

Merry Christmas everybody!!!  We had a special breakfast this morning where Paul, Samantha, Becky, me, mom, and dad were all supposed to eat together, but everyone was late :(  So, me, mom, and dad got to enjoy the yummy breakfast together instead :)

Our family doesn’t really do Christmas, we don’t exchange gifts and stuff like that so today was just like any other day really.  I made the special breakfast and chicken and dumplings for dinner.  Tomorrow Paul, Samantha, and Becky are coming out again, this time for dinner, Lasagna :)

I have been playing with the site today, trying out new themes and I found one that I think I like.  The only problem is I couldn’t get the links to work so I reverted back to this one.  I will eventually find the one I like, just gonna take time and lots of playing with themes.

I had planned on doing a vlog of me making breakfast, but I just didn’t have the guts to do it.  I don’t understand what my problem is, just do it already :)  Maybe tomorrow I will actually do it.

Alright, gonna get back to trying out themes, bye!!
