Oh see faithful readers…after weeks of trying to find or design the perfect background I have chosen instead a beautiful one until I can find the time to make one. My skills in the graphic design department are just not up to my scrapbooking prowess! Shocking I know. Both are sub par!
Anyway, see this lovely background, called Echiveria, by a wonderful real graphic designer named Evan Eckard who has made available some beautiful background images at his Site, DinPattern. I want half of these on my walls seriously!
So after learning how to modify some code in my custom.css file located on my server, for heavens sake, and NOT in my wordpress admin panel, here is my new calm and wonderful background. It does not at all express the chaos of motherhood or the theme of Mommy Words in terms of what goes through my head most of the day, but it does make me smile, and feel a nice breezy feeling. That is good for now. Enjoy it kids!
Surprisingly, while it took forever to find something I even sort of liked and then even longer to actually find how to do it, the TOTAL time for this new background was under 1 minute. So Thesis Theme designers, even though I had to access some strange file in notepad from my server, it ended up being scarier than it was hard.
I even figured out the repeat by myself. {Hint: Take Out the “No” before the “Repeat”} Thank You!
I am the Ringmaster of this circus. I have 3 small children who don't know what that means so I just say "Boss" and they get that. I am a mom who loves to write, build things, make things and love on my kids and my hubs. I am also in the midst of a love affair with social media. Always busy, usually laughing and never without words. Thus, Mommy Words.

I am just in awe that someone can do so much internet techy hooopla on their own, without curse words. You inspire!
Oh Kim I am blushing. How was vacation? Hope you got some rest and your house is still in one piece. Thanks for the compliment, but I did not say it was without any naughty words
!
hahaha I loooove Kim’s comment. Everytime I have a photoshop or illustrator encounter I remember how much of an amateur I am and usually throw the nearest pen I can find across the room.
I handle things well.

“Mommy Chaos” would be a great theme and title for a pattern. I’ll have to see what I can come up with…
Evan – awesome! I loved all your patterns. Actually maybe I will email you – do you do headers? I am pulling my hair out!
