it a new, fresh look here at
A Mommy Story
The background is in
purple in memory and
honor of Maddie
The header is from
the tree in my front yard – the
blossoms are lovely.
Walking out into the sunshine today, my mood was lifted just by feeling the sun on my skin and the cool breeze on my skin. It wasn’t warm enough for short-sleeves, but it felt great.
I realized that it’s been April now for over a week and I still had a photo of snow as my header. It was time for a change, and I think the new colors reflect the season well.
To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:
1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.
2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your main blog URL). DON’T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, please let me know.
3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top.
REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! I will delete any links without haiku!
Purple and red are usually dramatic, but you’ve managed to make it soft. Awesome job!!
I love it! It’s a great photo, and I love the coral accents in the design.
I’d been reading Heather for the past few weeks since I stumbled across her blog. I cried so hard last night after I read about Maddie.
I love the blossoms on the way to my parents’ house. The blossoms in springtime always put a smile on my face.
PS: The word verification is nonspit. lol
I love the new header!
The new header is lovely, so full of life. I’m so glad I found this meme. My first Haiku Friday post is now up.
I love the new header too, it’s just so springtime! I love blossoming trees. We have a pear tree in our yard that bloomed this week and I took some photos today.
And purple for Maddie, who could argue with that?!
Looks fabulous!
It’s ok that you had snow in your header – some people got snowed upon recently, even though it’s April. Love the bursting buds – they’re just the thing.
Peaceful weekend to you –

we can use the springtime! saw your post yesterday, wow. that’s unfathomingly sad. I totally get that an online friend is a friend and having a 20 mo-old niece, I can barely bear to read that without crying myself though I didn’t know Heather or Maddie at all. Cheers to you for your warm heart and lovely tribute.
Thanks for the springy photo. Do you take your photos?
Love the new look and I love the memory of Maddie.
I love the new look. And what a beautiful tribute to their little girl.
i liked the snow picture, but you’re right, it’s time for a change–love the colors
I love your new look! And love that it’s purple for Maddie. I’ve been keeping her family in my thoughts; it just breaks my heart.
Love the purple in honor of Maddie. I am still heartbroken over the news.
