Also, if you subscribe to MeckMom via email you may notice a small change in your email delivery.  I’m kind of annoyed with Feedblitz and Feedburner so I’m shifting over to a better system called MailChimp.  It gives me a little more flexibility over content and looks a whole lot prettier.  I’m sorry if you received two emails from me on Friday – we were working out the kinks – it shouldn’t happen again.  Remember, if you no longer wish to subscribe to the MeckMom newsletter you can opt out at any time.  Just click the unsubscribe option at the bottom of the email.  I promise not to spam you.  If you want to join just click the cute envelope icon at the top of the page.
