Mama’s Got a Brand New Header

31 Aug Mama’s Got a Brand New Header

It was time for the photo of me posing in my kitchen in Louboutins to go. We’ve come pretty far, this blog and I, and its time for my header to reflect that.

I love that if you know me in real life you know exactly where this header started. My sophomore year of college, That Boy bought me a pair of Louboutins. My Facebook/Twitter/Skype/#AnythingINeededAPictureFor became me posing in the red bottoms almost instantly.

Fast forward two years later, That Boy draws me this picture and titles it, ‘Channing in The City,’ while I was interning in New York.

A year later, I need something constructive to do with my time and decide to start a blog. I call it ‘Channing in The City’ and use the original picture I had become known for but cropped wider for the blog banner.

It was cute but I wished it better reflected what my blog was about: a small town girl trying to make it to the city. I couldn’t pretend my kitchen conveyed the city.

And so began my quest to find a header that illustrated my vision. People that said they could do it, wouldn’t or didn’t end up doing it. Yada, yada, you know how that goes.

So I decided to do it by myself. I made a copy of the drawing That Boy made and then added surrounding buildings in. Let me tell you, I can’t draw a stick figure so I’m especially proud.

I still have a few tweaks I want to make, but this is the header that I am rocking with.

I thank you for sticking with me and the blog as I grow. I appreciate it. 🙂
