Post # 150...

15 reasons...
Why I love blogging...

Meeting new people.

Learning new things.

Book reviews.

Laughing out loud.

Common thoughts, common experiences.

Recording events in my life.

Pictures

Comments

Being inspired.

Writing is a form of venting for me.

Learning about people and their different situations.

Keeping up with good friends.

♥ Sharing my joys and my struggles.

♥ Support from others.

♥ Having my blog to read and look back on as a journal.

I will be giving away some homemade cards and a small treat. So leave a comment and let me know your reading my blog and your name will be entered in my drawing!

I don't leave comments often but I do read your blog (actually I subscribed to get your feeds)
You have been an encouragement to me as I learned to cope with my feelings after losing Olivia and being an advocate for 24/7 monitoring.

HI I've stopped by before and I'll come again. My list of blogs I visit is getting longer and longer .. so fun to find people with things in common.

Debra said...

I read your blog! It is giving me a heads up of what is to come. I think my boys are following in your girls footsteps.

Arizona, you are hilarious!

Hey Laura,
I am new reader to your blog as you know. Your family is so adorable. I found that "chocolate kisses" worked as bribe for Jaylin for going #2 in the potty. And she only got them if she did a "super big one." LOL It totally worked so much better than the sticker chart. Good luck. Potty train is so not fun!

Laura,

You have given us enough, dont pick us, but I stop in from time to time to see what's up with your family too. Of course, Jen is totally addicted to blogs now, so she keeps up with every family blog on the planet, especially multiples folks.

Send me those column and color ideas, and I will try to get started in the next week or two.

Bribery always works and is a great motivator for my first comment, although I'm a loyal reader, too. Am I disqualified because I'm your sister?

I am guilty of being a lurker. I found your site from the mono site. I am a fellow mono-mono mom with triplets. Your family is adorable.
