motion

i love this moment i captured of noah - he has learned to flip over this last week from his tummy to his back! and he is pretty proud of himself when he does it. it is so cool to see him in motion. i know that we have a lot of baby proofing to do soon b/c he is going to be trouble if he starts crawling!

it is amazing to me to see him develop from this tiny little creature into the vivacious human being he is. i do not know WHERE he went to charm school b/c his dad and mom don't have it in them but he is such a people person. where oh where did he get that from?

it is hard at times yet also exciting to see noah grow up - change - it isn't an easy thing. but you know what, it happens. life is all about motion. if you stress out about change, you really are missing the journey.

speaking of change, we are proud to announce that we are looking for 6 (yes 6) new DT members! in addition to adding some more to our current DT, we have had some move on to bigger and better things. and it was time to changes things up a bit as we aren't the same company we were 2 years ago.

so if you are interested in applying, check it out here:

about our DT call, this is a bit different than others i have seen out there. our biggest criteria for selection will be a fit for the designers we pick and for maya road. that is of the utter most importance. i honestly don't care if you are the biggest name out there, if the fit isn't there, then we really end up with 2 unhappy parties. that is why we want to have an interview process.

we haven't finalized the details of the interviewing process yet but i can promise you it won't be like some of the ones i have seen in the chemical industry. there is this one company out there that takes like 16 chemical engineers all applying for the same position and during the interview process, you are there with your peers and a panel from the company. the panel will ask you things like "explain to us and the 15 other engineers here why you failed calculus I in college".

no it won't be like that but again, what we are looking for is professionalism, fit with MR and our philosophy and also how you present yourself to us. don't get me wrong, we are all about having fun and we have a pretty laid back environment to our company but the interview tells a lot about someone and tells a lot to that someone about us.

but if you love our stuff and are up to the task - like that cheerleading movie - BRING IT ON - and make sure you enter. b/c you can't be on the DT if you don't enter.

we didn't mention this on the official site but each person that enters will get a small gift from MR to thank you for taking the time to do this.

good luck!
