The fix is on!
March 9, 2008
We’re at it again. A Fix Chicks site design and re-development is underway. We’ll be back soon, with a fresh, new look and all of that jazz. We’ve adopted this nifty, clean site theme for a while now and are kinda digging the way it looks, though. It’s like the day you are going to get your hair cut - your hair looks FABULOUS that day. It’s the one day your hair actually cooperates… and then you’re not sure you want to get it cut and styled, because it looks great. (But then if you DON’T go to the salon, you’re back to bad hair the next day.)
So look for changes and improvements and more fun stuff soon.
Hmmm… I need a haircut.
I resolve to make no more resolutions.
April 4, 2007
So much for those big promises in the last post. Let’s just pretend there is no four-month gap and move on, shall we?
There are product reviews and articles forthcoming, but working 50+ hours a week and mothering a 1.5- and 2.5-year-old leaves little time for much of anything else.
While I’ve been off in my own little, busy world and failing to inform you, Internet, of great home improvement tips, the DIY-ers have still been at it, keeping old posts alive and well with interesting discussions!
Ralph Lauren paint is still our most popular topic to date. Check out the exchanges in comments following Michelle’s article, My Walls are Suede. There are some lengthy comments on her post, Ralph Lauren River Rock Paint Notes, as well. There are a few good tips around on how to touch up Ralph Lauren paint, too.
My post about the Ilo MP3 player has attracted some opinions - most of them negative. The funny thing is, my Ilo MP3 player bit the dust shortly after the review got a few comments from other users who’d had problems with it. I’ve since replaced it with a Microsoft Zune (product review to follow - no, really!) with which I am sublimely happy. In fact, we now have two of them - one for me, and one for Hubby.
The Baby Poop Decoder generated some fun comments and, eventually, a battle over breastfeeding, which is not a battle I wish to be involved in, but oh well! More amusingly (and fun for me), my little baby poop silliness became an entity of its own when I created the Baby Poop 101 lens at Squidoo. The lens was honored as a Lens of the Day and was later nominated as Lens of the Year. Woo!
To wrap up this unorganized post, here are some things I’m currently researching:
Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber
Resolutions for the New Year
January 1, 2007
Here’s the first post of 2007. Could it really be the first post since NOVEMBER of 2006?!
We fix chicks have not been resting on our laurels, I assure you. No, life has just been ridiculously hectic, and to be honest - time (especially of the “spare” variety) has simply gotten away from me.
Sparing you guys a novel, suffice it to say that there are multiple product reviews and articles in the works, and I hereby resolve to post, post, post away in an attempt to load you up with all the “fix”ing goodness you can stand - maybe more - in 2007.
Random thought for the day that is of no particular importance: I’ve just realized that Guns ‘N Roses “Appetite for Destruction” album is now officially 20 years old.
How much wood would a woodpixel… pixel?
November 6, 2006
Woodpixel is a fancy shmancy puzzle design thingy, for artsy types, gadety types, or types in general who won’t mind plunking down a little dough for something that’s cool, however impractical it might be. 
A woodpixel set includes a 26.5cm square tray and 100 2cm cubes. Each of the cubes’ six sides has a different color of wood, so you can create tons of different patterns and designs with them. When you get tired of your design, take out the cubes and make a new one.
Woodpixel sets are not in production as of this moment, but if there is enough interest generated, they will be. Head over to Woodpixel and check it out. If you like what you see, drop them an email to let them know!
Mi myspace es su Myspace
October 2, 2006
The Fix Chicks now have a profile page at Myspace. If you landed here from said profile, hi.
Say what you will about the place, but I’ve had a personal profile there for quite some time, it’s been kinda fun to get in touch with old friends (some way old friends) and put a “face” on people who aren’t IRL (”in real life”) friends.
I thought it might be a good way to network with our regulars and find more new fix chicks too. I know there are a ton of crafty/artsy folks with myspace profiles, for example.
So click the screenshot above or here to visit our Myspace page, and be sure to add us as a friend. Friends are cool.

Just a quick note to let you know why there’s a temporary shortage of new articles: we’re hard at work on our Cafepress store, which will be (re)opening soon, with all new products and designs… some functional, some fun, and all with attitude.
Did someone say free?
We’ll keep you updated and let you know when and how you can get your hands on some Fix Chicks goodness. And you can bet there are some contests in the works in which we’ll be giving away some swag for free. Woot!
