We are going to play a little game today. This weekend I will be switching the name and branding of our little site!!! I figured after handing out hundreds of business cards at The Altitude Summit last week it was a great time to change;)
The reality is this site was originally a family update, breastfeeding twins, photos from my latest outings blog. Weβve changed a bit since then! Although you can no longer find those personal stories here, the original and sorely outgrown name is still intact. Iβve come up with a name will reflect much better what we do, plus Iβm very tired of writing the same, βno, Iβm sorry but I can not design your custom cradleβ email.
Have any guesses of what the new name might be? Comment, let me know your thoughts

January 28, 2011 at 1:10 pmVicky! I have been following your blog since Dec 2009. I loved your original blog and The City Cradle nameβ¦it was what drew me to your postings. Iβm sad to hear that you are changing the name, but Happy for all your success and growing business! You are in my Google Reader and I follow on Twitter and FB. I would vote for Hudginsβ Handcrafted Celebrations or Handcrafted Celebrations. All the best to you in 2011! ~PEACE

January 30, 2011 at 6:57 amHow exciting! The Alt Summit totally inspired a change for me too! As far as a new name, I love βKicking Balloonsβ! Am looking forward to seeing what it will be!

January 30, 2011 at 11:11 amI completely feel your pain! That has been my biggest debate for over a year now. Iβve got big plans coming, but I donβt think I will be able to keep my site and do what I want to do. Starting from scratch is thrilling and terrifying all at the same time! Iβm sure whatever you decide it will be awesome and I look forward to following along!
PS Love your heels and I donβt think Iβll be eligible for cupcakes, so someone will have to eat one for me!
