Today’s Design Focus goes back almost 20 years (dont worry…I’ll make this brief).
Stephanie and I knew each other in college. Well, kinda. I probably remember her more than she does me. We had a few mutual friends and our school was small enough that you could actually know a vast majority of the student body.
Forward nearly 20 years. Enter Facebook, the greatest thing since sliced bread. You know how it goes…my friend is your friend and pretty soon we’re Facebook friends. Love it. So we reconnected and discovered we were both bloggers. I had the privilege of helping Steph redesign and move her blog over from WordPress.com to a self-hosted platform.
Stephanie writes about motherhood and life in the rural south in her appropriately named blog, The Red Clay Diaries. She makes me laugh pretty much every day. And come next Thursday, I get to share a room and fight over a bathroom sink with her at BlissDom. Who’da thunk it 20 years ago??
So thanks, Steph. It was truly a privilege to work on your blog with you.
And I’ll take the bed on the left.











Don’t listen to Nicole. I totally knew her at college. She was one of the cool kids.
And I’m the one who’s grateful for how Facebook reconnected us. Cuz I LOVE my blog design.
