Welcome To Jodified!

Hi. Welcome. My name is Jodie and I am a blogger. Eventually there will be a support group I'm sure. I am also a photographer. Oh, and a mom. To three small children. And I am pretty bad at balancing it all, but work everyday to get better. I also don't cook. I suck at laundry and struggle to return phone calls. I need a hair cut too but ponytails hide everything. This blog is not about that, but then it is, and sometimes it isn't. This blog is my life. My kids, my work, my struggles, my joys. My once professional, now personal blog that is totally me. And I love it. So welcome.

the trenches.

Do you ever just feel like you are stuck in the trenches and if only you could dig yourself out everything would be better?

This capital campaign work is just so exhausting! Rewarding, but totally exhausting.  I’ve been sitting with this computer since 10am, it is now 10:42pm which makes this one long long day of thinking in design mode.

Anyway, I do want to share the newsletter my amazing print team and I put out last week though. I think posting the accomplishments will make me feel like I’m actually making progress.  It’s not going to be a big deal to anyone but me, really, but b/c this is my blog and my big deal, here you go.

So that piece went out last week and right now I am working on an 8 page brochure. We still have another newsletter to get out and some other smaller pieces. I did the design of the logo and all the design work on the layouts, but my teammates did all the writing and placing of text, order of items, organization of the team, etc.

The next three days the girls are at Grandma’s house or GoGo’s house so that I can work non-stop on getting these pieces done. And although parts of me love doing all of this work, the other parts really miss having the girls all day. Just goes to show that the grass is always greener!
