Going Private...

Hi Blog Readers!!  After much thought, Matt and I decided that it would be in our best interest to take this blog private.  After nearly 8 years of documentation of our life publicly, we feel it's time to pull the plug and screen our readers.  The little tracker do-hickey thing is neat, but if you ever stop and see who reads your blog (world wide) it kind of makes your wheels turn wondering who it could possibly be.  Now that my kids are getting older and in public school, it feels safer and wiser to keep my little blog diary tucked a little safer in the world wide web.  I know this is NOT convenient for family who has my blog saved on a bookmark on their computer, but I think once you get set up as a follower then it'll be easy-peasy.  Let me know if you want to be added to the list.  (and if you have a blog and are a reader--don't be afraid to comment.  I have so many blogs I love reading, but never personally met, and feel like they are friends.  The blog world will do that to ya!!).

Sorry to be an inconvenience.  I really want to keep my blog going and continue it as an open book of our life, and in my heart this is the best way to do so. 

I'll probably set it up private next week some time!!  Thanks!

XOXOX

****I AM GOING TO NEED YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS TO E-MAIL YOU THE LINK TO MY BLOG ONCE IT GOES PRIVATE.  YOU CAN LEAVE ME A COMMENT WITH IT OR E-MAIL ME AT ALLIMULLS(AT)GMAIL(DOT)COM****

    I would love to continue reading your blog. I found it through a friend, Tracey Shepherd, years ago and have been hooked ever since! It is very uplifting and inspiring and nice to connect with someone who has small kiddos even though we've never met. My e-mail: tare-bear@hotmail.com Thanks! Taryn

    Oops forgot to tell you... I selected anonymous b/c I do not have a blog or anything else mentioned. If you need any other info. let me know. I would love to continue reading. As I said it's nice to connect with someone who has kids about the same age as mine. Tracey's kids are about the same age too now! Thanks so much, Taryn

  22. I would love to keep reading your blog! I don't keep a blog (I'm a 20-something single girl so my life is kind of boring to document :)) but have loved reading yours. I understand though if it's creepy that you don't know me and I want to read. But if it's okay with you, I'd love an invite!
