New Look!

If you haven't noticed--
Things are looking a lot different around here!
We are now everydaypitterpatter.COM!!!! See ya, blogspot! Hopefully, this new url will be a little easier to type in and remember.

I absolutely LOVE the new website design!
Huge thanks to the amazing designer, Ashley, from Dinosaur Stew!

She was so easy to work with... quick to respond to emails, beautiful design options and really sweet!

Highly recommend that you check out her blog for freebies, design inspiration and tutorials (you'll love the free September lock screen wallpaper!)
And her Etsy shop has tons of designs for every budget- from premade templates to business cards to custom website design.

So I hope you enjoy the new look! Update the new url in your bookmarks, bloglovin, etc. to www.everydaypitterpatter.com and Subscribe to have the newest posts emailed straight to you.

Happy Monday Friends!

The Davidson Fam!

Okay- I took these pictures a long time ago and here they are finally!

Our last few weeks in Dallas were spent with dear friends!  I wish I had taken more pictures of all the sweet families, but that was the last thing on my mind.  The Davidsons were one of those families.  Our best friends that have mainly been long distance although we lived near them in Cincinnati for a little bit and now Texas (for a week and a half!)  When Luke and Kathleen were considering a position at Compass, we knew that things were progressing with Crossroads and that we may not be at Compass when they arrived.  It was so hard to imagine having Kathleen close & getting to spend time with her precious twins all the while knowing it would be for such a short time.  At least we could prepare ourselves :)  We had such a special week with them and we are so grateful to have had even that little time with them.  Kathleen has been blogging about their move as well and did a recent post {here} with some precious pictures.  Wish we had gone out for a real photo shoot with our cameras, but I'm so glad we were able to get a few in before dinner!  These next few are too funny- about as good as you can get with these 3 rascals. 

(I think I was almost 29 weeks pregnant here... I'm to 33 weeks now!  Guess I should do at least one pregnancy post before baby girl arrives :)  Poor 2nd child, maybe tomorrow!)

My Favorite Blogs Lately

Arielle Elise: My favorite photography blog.  She is so talented and such an inspiration- not just with her photography, but in her faith, love for her family and calling as a mom.

In This Joyful Life: My sweet friend's Nursery Reveal for her precious twins!  Not only will you love their nursery, but check out her adorable weekly pregnancy updates and her yummy recipes.  Start following now... her next post could be the big announcement!

Grace in Progress: Came across this new little place- look forward to more beautiful posts and photography!

Bob Russell Ministries:  Every post deals with issues relevant to today's culture and church.  He writes with a boldness and conviction that only comes from a life of walking with Jesus Christ. The truth that he shares is straight from Scripture and covered in a grace only One can offer.  I'm so thankful to have been raised in a church under his leadership and biblical preaching.  

The Better Mom: I have been so encouraged by this blog.  This is one of my favorite posts {here} but I love that every post is unique and covers a wide variety of topics from organic food to parenting, faith, budgets, scripture reading...

5th Belle Avenue: I love this sweet blog.  Her little boy is just a little older than JR and she is expecting #2!  Her faith is inspiring and she also shares some delicious recipes :)

Matthew 5:16
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
