Here is a preview of some of the designs I’ve been working on this spring and summer. I’ll be updating these as I get a chance.

This means temps in the 70s, finally, and lots of sun! Hey we might even hit 80s, lol. Summer also means a busy time for a lot of parents and small business owners. I know I sure do get busy this time of year! Between coaching little league baseball, running kids to soccer, playdates… oh yeah and work, we stay pretty busy in our house. I’m sure yours are all just as crazy!

Lets not forget to update our web sites in all this chaos! I know I’m guilty of this myself and need to start taking care of my own web site as I’m working on client web sites as well. A blog is an easy way to make sure your site is being refreshed regularly. If you have a WordPress blog, like this one here, attached to your site you can easily pop on and post a new topic or update with announcements! See, just like I’m doing! Remember that search engines love new content and use content to help rank you in the listings. Want more SEO information? Check out this helpful article.

Want a WordPress blog but don’t know where to start? I can help! Many people chose to go directly to WordPress and get a hosted blog there, this is a great option for many. But, if you already have a business website you’ll probably want to host your WordPress blog right along with it. This way you can have your domain and the traffic it generates helps your web site! One of the great things about this type of blog is the ability to customize it to match your main site, like I have. This integrates your blog more seamlessly into your business.

Want a matching blog? If you are a current WebSavvyMama client simply ask for a quote to turn your current WSM design into a blog template for WordPress. Not a WSM client? Fill out my quick request a quote for to find out how to get one for your web site as well!

I now officially have a category for premade web site templates and premade logos. If you just want something quick and easy it may be just what you are looking for. Everything currently listed is a one of a kind, meaning I will only sell each template to one person. In the future I may offer limited editions for a lesser price but they would be able to be used by multiple web sites. For now, though, I’d like to give this a trial with one of a kind templates to see what the interest is. I will be adding more templates for sale as I have time and clear out my archives!

All of these templates come either as a HTML/CSS straight HTML file pack with the associated graphics or installed on your choice of cart. The carts that I work on include: Watersweb, Merchant Moms, Pappa Shop and Hyena Cart. But you are not limited to these carts. If you are unsure if I work on your cart just feel free to ask!

The other day I was shopping Target and found some cool scrap booking letters in the dollar section. I just knew that I’d find a use for them out so I snatched them up! Then it hit me: Letter Tiles! I’m always looking for new ways to introduce letters and words in my preschool classroom and these are perfect. I used ceramic tiles that you can find at any home remodeling store to make these. The best are the double sided tiles, I used double sided tiles and place lower case letters on one side and upper case letters on the other.

Kids love to manipulate small objects and these are perfect for building and creating at the table. Even if the kids are not actually spelling they are getting letter exposure. It’s not uncommon to hear “Can you pass me the B please?”. To extend the letter play I created words that start with whatever letter of the week we are working on and then laminated them. We all brainstorm up these words during group time and then they get hands on play with the words they helped think of. The kids love matching letters to the words and showing off full words they have created!

As many already know I am a mom of 3 children. Our middle child also has Autism. I’ve learned a LOT about Autism, Sensory Integration and all things related! I’m also a preschool teacher.

Working with my own children and also preschool children for years has given me a lot of ideas that I just HAD to implement or create and some I’d like to share with my blog readers. I’ve let the other site I had a lot of this hosted on fade out because it became too much work to keep several personal websites updated. I’m moving some of the favorites here so that others can still enjoy it. I get lots of messages and emails asking me when I’m “bringing xyz back again”. I also have a lot of resources for babywearing families and businesses as well that I’ll be moving here too.

So.. here it is!
