I am so amazed with your home improvements, and I even stole your Oreo Bonbon recipe this year at Christmas. Who wants to read Mommy blogs? They're all about the same... cute kid, yadda yadda (just kidding, I actually HAVE a Mommy blog!). Keep blogging, even if it's just for your own therapy!! :)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08196170278046179480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690588537401151105.post-65656679744519262722008-01-14T23:37:00.000-05:002008-01-14T23:37:00.000-05:00AWE!! you can be my friend!

Blogging is a big popularity contest,.....who has the most hits, commentors, nicest templates...yaddi yaddi yah!<BR/><BR/>WELL BLAH!!<BR/><BR/>I just sat here (before reading your post)and went back and looked at some of my first posts. You will be able to do that in a year too! Consider your time on her WELL spent!

It's for me and that's all that matters. <BR/>You are beautiful and your blog is so entertaining!<BR/>Don't give up!..::k.toms::..https://www.blogger.com/profile/06791283123356306364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690588537401151105.post-62495299751541256392008-01-06T17:50:00.000-05:002008-01-06T17:50:00.000-05:00Ashely,Thank you for your openness and honesty.

You actually inspired me to do a blog on building the house and then on Manny. I know what it feels like to get no comments, you are the only one to comment on Manny's and the house's blog....<BR/><BR/>You guys have had a very eventful year and I'm sure the same of the coming one. Aunt Terri told me you will have a 4th to take care of. I give you credit for that!!! They probably continue to have children BECAUSE of you and how awesome you are. I've said it before, I wish we were closer to you so you could watch my kids; family is always better!!<BR/><BR/>I've even started reading other blogs off of your favorite list...not much to do on bed rest!! <BR/><BR/>hugs,<BR/>JenJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16942423104302900930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690588537401151105.post-22269180557792252052008-01-04T14:52:00.000-05:002008-01-04T14:52:00.000-05:00Get rid of your blog?

Thats what I do.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the house, sorry about that cat. :)<BR/><BR/>What job did your husband take?Spammonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251667425537434312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690588537401151105.post-46813357898351476542008-01-04T09:54:00.000-05:002008-01-04T09:54:00.000-05:00Good for you..

You weren't kidding about not being a people ...Wow! You weren't kidding about not being a people pleaser anymore. :)You have just inspired me to not hold back. There are times when I feel like I have nothing to post; my life is so boring, does anyone really want to see another picture of Porter's mug, or hear another of my poorly written stories?!?! But none of that matters, we should be able to write whatever we want. If readers don't like us because of what we type, they don't have to read anymore.<BR/><BR/>When you got to the part of your post where you talked about deleting your blog... my stomach dropped and my heart hurt for a second. You can't just abandon us like that Ashley! I'm going to be honest, I really would have been mad at you. Thank goodness you didn't delete!<BR/><BR/>I can relate to all of the feelings you just expressed. I just want you to know you do fit in, I find you very intriguing, unboring, I check your blog everyday (sometimes a few times a day...stalker!) and even though I am still getting to know you I consider you a friend. I really don't feel like I fit into the mommy blog thing either, I often wonder if I really even have a place in the blog world. I hope I haven't ever made you feel excluded.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this post, thanks for your blog, and thanks for being a genuine person. I always feel like you really take the time to read what I have to say. And I always look forward to reading everything you have to say.<BR/><BR/>xoxoxo - Lindseylindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15891006497708292264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690588537401151105.post-75951886684147141752008-01-03T23:02:00.000-05:002008-01-03T23:02:00.000-05:00I acknowledge you. :) Let me tell you, google read...I acknowledge you. :) Let me tell you, google reader can be your best friend, and your worst enemy. I read blogs in the reader, and seldom click out. Which, means I don't comment much-- also, I type excrutiatingly slow while holding an infant. So, I am reading!!! <BR/>Hooray for so many great things throughout your year! And, hooray for a new leaf... It's hard to blog for others. I did that for so long, afraid of what others would think. Then, I stopped. Blogging was for me, my therapeutic outlet.Andriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555953207285169472noreply@blogger.com
