Good morning IP 10! At the end of this class I will be checking your blogs for the following changes that we began on Monday:
1. Background image and/or colour has been modified from the original template
2. Blog title font/size (and/or colour) has been modified from the original template
I will now also be checking for the following additions to your blogs today:
1. Make an introductory post introducing yourself. Include one short paragraph of TEXT ONLY (photos and videos will come later), content entirely your choice. You may tell your readers something about yourself, include a favourite quotation, etc.
2. Add at least 3 gadgets to your sidebar.
To add a gadget:
From your Blogger home page, click "Layout." Find the button labeled "add a gadget" and scroll through the lists of potential options. You'll find just about everything imaginable in this list - translators, cat jokes, fish feeding gadgets, random facts, etc. Pick at least 3 school-appropriate gadgets that appeal to you and add them to your blog. These will show up on your sidebar in the same place regardless of what your posts are doing beside them. Consider them permanent fixtures on your blog (although of course you can always remove or change them later if you'd like).
If you have additional time after you've completed these tasks, you can continue to modify the design of your blog to better suit your tastes. Have fun!

I'm baaaaaaaack!
It has been over a year since I've posted here on Mrs. Lohneis' Notes. It's hard to believe that I'm coming back to work after 13 months of maternity leave, but here we are, getting back into the swing of things! I now officially have a 1-year-old (whaaat?!), and he is the absolute BEST. Don't believe me? Check out this picture of him at the Temple Gardens Mineral Spa in Moose Jaw when he was 5 months old. Such a cool baby.
As you can see, we had lots of fun on my maternity leave! Here we are at my friends Kaleigh and Callum's Christmas party in Brandon in December (almost 11 months old).
Come to think of it, my whole mat leave was all sorts of fun! We were super lucky to have a very easy baby; he only gets fussy if he's tired, cold, or hungry. Otherwise he's a total superstar in pretty much everything he does (but I'm not a biased mama or anything!). We did tons of cool stuff during my year at home! Highlights:
- Traveled to: Winnipeg (April and again in December), Vancouver (June), Moose Jaw (June), Slocan Valley BC (September), and Utah (October)
- Visited the Temple Gardens Mineral Spa, Tunnels of Moose Jaw, and Skydive South Sask in June to fulfill my Christmas present to my dad of a tandem skydive! We watched from the ground and my dad LOVED it (I did my skydive in 2010 over Lake Taupo, New Zealand, and I knew my dad would love to do it himself!)
- Cooked and baked my way through about 230 new recipes in my GIANT mat leave cookbook project challenge of 2016. Whew!
- Learned and fell in love with the art of babywearing - my absolute favourite thing!
- Took the "baby boats" aquacise class at Marion Aquatics (so cute!)
- Checked out "turf time" at the Alfred Jenkins Field House
- Went for many runs in the Chariot jogging stroller
- Learned that we love the swings at Kinsmen Park
- Played in the paddling pools at Kinsmen Park and at Wildwood Park in Saskatoon
- Rented a car and visited the Halcyon Hot Springs in the Slocan Valley in BC while attending my friend's wedding in September
- Made a road trip to visit friends at IMC in June (North Dakota)
- Road trip to visit friends at RYLA in August (Manitoba)
- Road trip to my cousin's wedding in Minnedosa, MB in August
- Got my braces off in July after almost exactly 18 months
- Co-slept with baby for the first few months until sleep training at 5.5 months.... such nice cuddles, but also so nice to gain some freedom again once the little nugget learned to sleep well in his crib!
- Cut 9 teeth including a giant molar (fun, fun!)
- Learned to roll over, then army crawl, then bum scoot..... next stop, walking!
- Started to talk a lot ("Mama," "Dada," "Baba," "this," "that," and tons of random babbling), and he now understands lots of new words and phrases ("Give mommy a kiss," "push the button," "do it again," "make the fishies go bye-bye" when we're turning off his fish aquarium lullabies, "go upside down," "how old are you?" as he holds up one finger, etc.)
- Donated almost 110 lbs (!!!!) of breast milk to the Northernstar Mothers Milk Bank
- Had professional photo shoots in May for Mothers Day, in October with his cousins, in November for Christmas, and in January for his one year "cake smash" - he is a well-photographed child for sure!
- Bought myself a hot tub in January!
It has been a fantastic year and I sure have enjoyed my time at home with my mini-me. He's such a happy little guy, super funny and fun, and is just generally an absolute little sweet heart. I don't think I could have understood a love like this before having him, but now that I'm a mother I can't imagine my life without him!
And then, POOF! I blinked, and a year has passed. And now I'm back to work. I have missed all of you and am looking forward to working with you again! Let the fun begin!

1. Your folder of original photos (all the alphabet photos you have taken)
2. A collage of your first name
3. Five (5) word collages that suit the alphabet photography genre and have some sort of a theme (ie. Live, Breathe, Love, Dance, Music, Determination, Inspire, Imagine, etc.)
