who are you?

I began this blog as a way to keep in touch with me. You know, the Ashley that was before she took on this amazing adventure called mothering.

It has turned into so much more.
a way to vent.
a scrapbook of our lives.
an on going letter to my kids.
a way to explore.
a way to give back.
a community.

I've been overwhelmed with the people who have mentioned something to me about my blog.
what? you read my blog?!

I finally looked at the stats today.
So far 60 page views today.
last month there were 3, 150 views.
20,896 views over the life of my blog.
People reading my blog from countries such as:
USA, Japan, China, Indonesia, Germany, UK, Canada, United Arab Emerates, Costa Rica, South Africa, and Spain.

so, my friends, I ask: who are you?
don't you love that question?
answer it however you see fit,
but please -
I'd love to meet you all!

just a short comment would be awesome!
if you don't have a google account, just post as anonymous and sign your name at the end of your comment!

Yeah, this probably doesn't help if all your frequent commenters are the ones who leave a comment! ;) Oh, well. I'm leaving one...I read as often as I can!

Nel said...

Well... I of course am your favorite 'cousin-in-law' - LOL!!!! Just another crazy mommy out there trying to stay sane and love life!!!

And I really love that even though we live in the same town, only see each other on holidays - we at least can keep up with each other through our blogs ;o)

Ashley, please shout out to those of us located in High Ridge, Missouri next time.

I read every post. Cody (my dear cousin, our dear friend) gave me the link to your blog about a year ago. I almost feel like I'm going to run into you or Mrs. Haid and be WAY TOO comfortable because I think I know you both way better than I actually do!

Well, I am Alicia's sister...but I recognize some of the faces in your pictures and stories. My sister and I (Kim, not Alicia) took piano lessons from Marcinda a looooooong time ago, and have babysat (also a long time ago) or worked in the church nursery with some of your friends too. I guess that makes me kind of old.... :) I was originally reading from Salina, KS and now from Springfield, MO.
