Well, I'll start blogging at the beginning. Before Mayfly and Junebug's blog could exist, we made the decision to have a new website built for our company.  Previously, I had fiddled around with Dreamweaver, but as a mother of 3 trying to run and grow Mayfly and Junebug, the website was simply not being updated.  

In a very round-about, Austin-y manner, beginning with a suggestion from my good friend Maria Bergh of Giant Media LLC, we ultimately found and hired Grant Chambers of Create Multimedia LLC  (http://www.createmedianow.com/) to build our new site.  We love it and have already received many compliments from our retailers, family, and friends.

We were lucky enough to happen upon a great photographer, too...Thomas Bacon, who freelances when he is not working at Create Multimedia.  Thomas was responsible for most of the photography on our site, and I was quite impressed by how much he accomplished on a 95 degree+ afternoon here in Austin with eight children running amuck.

Grant and Thomas understood our tight schedule and, against the odds, managed to hit the target launch date.  I was delighted to send out a mass text announcing the new site from the Rainbow Room in NYC, where Libbie, Jenny, Leeann, Nancy and I were attending an event celebrating the end of the first day of National Stationery Show.  It was the perfect finale to an amazing day for us.  Thank you, Grant and Thomas!

Hugs and kisses to all the little ones who played along at the photo shoot, too: Lucy, Thompson, Emma, Stella, Brodie, Annabelle, McAlpine, and Sabine- although McAlpine (my 2.5 year old) wasn't really in a participatory mood, and Sabine was sleeping most of the time (she can't help it- she's only 6 months old!) For the record, that is adorable Lucy holding McAlpine's plate in the photo above.

Stay tuned...the next segment will be all about the National Stationery Show and the great time we had in NYC! -Kelly
