What's Been Going On At Home
Our new son was born on March 5th. He is healthy and pretty much happy, but he is damn demanding. We knew that we were incredibly lucky with our daughter two years ago. She was and is exceptionally independent and content. Our son is another story. I am pretty amazed at how much complaining he does, but that's the way it goes. Maybe nature lures you into having another kid by making the first one easy.So we have a demanding newborn and now a 2-year-old who is competing for attention. Fortunately my wife and I are both at home together for another month. After that, I am on my own. I am certain that we will find more of a rhythm before she goes back to work. Right now the pace is insane, and only being able to sleep in 3-5 hour increments for more than a month is definitely pretty brutal right now. I smell a post about getting adequate sleep and Paleo in the near future...
But man, I really feel tremendously lucky to have two healthy, happy, and perfect kids. We are really blessed and I truly appreciate both of them and all of the effort my wife has put into ensuring her pregnancy was as healthy as possible and continuing with breast-feeding and all the challenges that go along with that.
EasyPaleoMeals
Right now I am way behind on catching up with emails, writing posts, and several other things I want and need to be doing. I am back on track to get 4-5 hours of work done a week, starting today. So this post will address a couple of things, then I am back to work on the site.Kutsko Kitchen
I got a really nice email from Nate Kutsko of Kutsko Kitchen just before the baby insanity started. I will respond to him today but I wanted to mention his beautiful wooden cutting and serving boards with integrated channels. I have tweeted about them and pinned them before, but I really feel that they are great kitchen prep and dining tools which fit in perfectly with the Paleo lifestyle. I plan to review a Kutsko Kitchen product in the near future, so keep an eye out for that.Theme And Logo
I am still looking for an appropriate theme that is going to give me the look, feel and function that I want for EasyPaleoMeals. I think I have a couple narrowed down. If I can't get it to look the way I want it to look I may just leave it as it is now, but I really want something different. I also have a couple of ideas for a new logo design. It incorporates the simple green and black block letter design I currently use, but I think it will generally look a little more appealing and give a better initial impression of what I want the site and brand to be all about.I originally designed the current logo to be very simple and easily recognizable on all facets of social media. I think it works well for that, but it needs a little something extra. Right now it is low on my priority list, but it is on my radar. Right now I want to focus on content, which I have a million ideas for but little time to execute.
So that is is for now. More when I have more to tell. Thanks for reading!
