260 moving day
I have decided to move my blog back to Blogger. I have been struggling with the what to do since they announced the acquisition of Posterous to Twitter. I truly hope they keep the Posterous site up and running (because I love it), but they have been plagued with problems in the last few weeks and no longer respond to help requests - not a good sign.
It has been a very difficult transition. Posterous does not allow for exporting. WordPress.com is supposed to import Posterous blogs, but I found it only pulled data from 2011 to present. Not sure what I will do with my posts that go back as far as 2009. Hopefully when Posterous does go under, they will provide us with a way to keep all of our data.
Initially I I thought I'd use WordPress.com, but I cannot stand their interface. It's clunky and does not consistently pull data from other sources - I had photos of all shapes and sizes and no idea how to get them the way I wanted without removing and re-uploading. No thank you! So, it's back to Blogger. I am still on the fence about self-hosting via WordPress and may go that way someday, but since I follow a lot of Blogger blogs, I thought this might be the easiest way to go. Seems funny to come full circle - I started my first blog on Blogger back in 2004.
I will likely continue to post here till it goes belly up, but will officially move to yf.yffoto.com. Please come visit me at my new home!

264 soaking' up some sun
Had an appointment in Northbrook after work and decided to take the long route home and pop in to see the tulips at the Chicago Botanic Garden. I wandered for a bit (till I got too cold) and was surprised at how many flowers were already in bloom. Oh and mom - this post is for you! All flowers! :)

267 easter beauties and the beach
Woke up way to early for having danced into the wee hours of the night, but EB had visited and there were more baskets and egg hunting fun to be had. Then we got dressed in our Sunday best and headed to the club for a huge brunch spread. I am still full hours later! It was simply the most beautiful day so we thought we'd pay a visit to the dunes. Bella and I walked along the water to see if we could find any treasures that had washed ashore (just rocks really ... ) and Sloane dipped her toes in the sand and water for the first time ever. We could not believe how utterly beautiful it was - actually hot - in April. Hopefully this means a great summer is ahead!
