if you faithful readers haven’t already noticed, My Bottle’s Up! is getting a little face-lift. the readership has picked up recently, the community has picked up immensely, and i can say that we are officially “under construction” as we prepare for a relaunch.

i ask that you stick with me for the next few days while i meet with some good friends, correspond with other good friends, and get the tweaks worked out. these “good friends” are people who are teaching me so much about this blogosphere and how it all works.

paul and i are looking into copyrighting our materials. according to him, “we need to copyright your shit so no one can steal your shit.”

um, it never occurred to me that anyone would want to “steal my shit,” but ok.

there is A LOT that goes into this entrepreneurship… mom-preneurship… whatever you want to call it. but i am encouraged by you wonderful people out there who are helping me learn as i go and so willing to teach.

in the meantime… to the right, you will find a badge for the March of Dimes team paul and i created over the weekend. My Bottle’s Up for Maddie! will walk in baltimore’s camden yard (4 miles) on may 3rd (my birthday) to honor madeline alice spohr. please visit our team page and join us if you’re in the baltimore area may 3rd. if you can’t join us, please consider clicking over to the right and sponsoring our team. if you are in the los angeles area and can attend her service tuesday, please do so (details on their blog). if you are like paul and i (on the east coast) and want to show your support, please wear purple in honor of maddie on tuesday.

thank you for your continued support of the spohr family as they grieve the loss of their precious baby girl. and thank you for supporting the blogging community and the efforts we make to help those in need. you are all so appreciated.
