My first blog post on February 15, 2008 was a simple one. My family had recently moved across the country and I enjoyed keeping up with family on their own blogs. I initially blogged to post pictures and updates about my own family – it was your standard family blog. I occasionally ventured into other territory, but mainly stuck to updates and fun, sweet stories. I added a “followers” list when this first became the “thing” and felt thrilled when it hit the big 10.
(The sound is on the computer in the background, so you’ll probably want to crank it up to hear.)
Also, as a big thank you to my readers, I am putting together a surprise gift pack! To be eligible to win, all you have to do is comment. That’s it. Tell me about your favorite post, what topics you are most interested in, how long you’ve been following, etc. Just say “hello” and I’ll pick one lucky winner to receive a holiday surprise!
Not sure I could pick a favorite post, but I enjoy reading your thoughts on mothering (e.g., what to feed little ones for lunch, mommy meltdowns). I’m not sure if you realize how often you hit the nail on the head. 🙂
ps. I also wanted to say I’ve enjoyed some of the giveaways you’ve put together. I’ve been able to learn about (and even win!) products I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. Thank you!
Here’s to future blogging!
I love your no nonesense posts that point out the goodness in the world, and that our response to the world should be positive. Those posts just make me feel better!
Congrats on reaching 450! I enjoy reading your posts. I came across your blog when you were doing some sort of cloth diaper giveaway. This was a couple of months ago.
Here’s to many more!
I love your personal posts. They make me feel like I know you. I love reading things from your life and seeing how much they relate to mine. I love that you make me feel like I am not “alone”! Thanks
Congrats on 450 and almost 2 years!! And wow, those ARE some moves Ella has! LOL! Too cute!
CONGRATULATIONS on 450 posts! I always enjoy coming over, just feel left out w/ the diaper giveaways! LOL
I love seeing posts w/ pics of Ella and Ezra and this one is no exception.
I’m going to let my girls watch Ella’s video in a bit!
Congratulations on 450 posts! I’m a new follower and have only been around for a couple of weeks! I enjoy cloth diapering related posts and giveaways. I’ll be diapering my first in cloth in February when he’s born.

Okay, I had to watch again because she is so cute—by the way, the girls just want her nightgown (they love all things princess). I was trying to explain that I don’t know Ella, and I’ve never met you, but that we are friends (they didn’t get it, LOL). ps. what song is that playing? also, what do you use to take your videos?
I’m a new blog follower and I read your I Honor & Remember You post and that has to be my favorite that I’ve read so far!
Yay for 450 posts! Here’s to 450 more!
