And I created my own blog.<BR/><BR/>Yours was the first blog I ever read and is one of my favorites. I have found out a lot about you and realized that in many way we are similar. I love how your blog is very "real". <BR/><BR/>I think one of the reasons I blog is so that I have a connection with other mom's like me. It makes me feel like I am not alone. I love the comments, too!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12595779765596882132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-25379652724705783822008-10-08T10:47:00.000-07:002008-10-08T10:47:00.000-07:00I love the blog because I get a window into your e...I love the blog because I get a window into your everyday life that would be impossible from a distance otherwise. I can't beleive how far behind I am in checking it though. Last week with the giant ladies retreat coming I took no breaks at work, worked late every nigh and didn't have the energy to climb the stairs to check the blog at home. Now with the Lunde's here this week... Well Andrea is Shopping Nat is sleeping and I am supposedly watching a video with Benton, so finally a few miutes, but the house looks like those pictures of yours from yesterday!Grandma Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917496471648323778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-54990563312970769342008-10-05T18:24:00.000-07:002008-10-05T18:24:00.000-07:00Your blog always makes me smile too.

It is a great way to stay connected, sharing life's ups and downs. It is therapeutic for me. I love it!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11425695077523567137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-40482811126520384772008-10-05T13:47:00.000-07:002008-10-05T13:47:00.000-07:00Hey Alysun,I'm your follower from Lebanon, but it'...Hey Alysun,<BR/><BR/>I'm your follower from Lebanon, but it's misleading. I'm actually in Liberia. I don't get it either? You do brighten my days here with your blog - especially your photos!

I blog to keep family/friends updated with how we're doing and what we're up to and I know my husband's family in Idaho especially appreciates my effort to keep them in the loop. I also enjoy my blog as a forum for my thoughts and feelings and another place to connect with other people. Plus it's fun!Cooking with Big Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022582208907832592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-48072047142632579122008-10-04T16:51:00.000-07:002008-10-04T16:51:00.000-07:00i think that many of us blog for those very same r...i think that many of us blog for those very same reasons. i love sharing my passion for motherhood with anyone who wants to hear about it. and i don't have any problem admitting that it is hard work to be a mom. i also feel like my blog is a way that i can express my gratitude for the gifts that god has given me and to share my love for him with others without being intrusive or pushy. <BR/>and i read blogs because i love people. i love their strengths, i love their weaknesses, i love to laugh and cry with them. so thanks for blogging!Michalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11516535861628199093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-14688828577260341182008-10-04T12:17:00.000-07:002008-10-04T12:17:00.000-07:00I blog for a lot of the same reasons you do-- meet...I blog for a lot of the same reasons you do-- meeting new people (like you, family that I've never met!) and staying in touch with friends. It's an outlet, an escape, a place to be creative, a place to say what I want, a place that I can share without being intrusive. Afterall, I'm not forcing anyone to read my blog. <BR/><BR/>I think blogging is fabulous and love reading about your life.Lesley Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03112207213287381440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-21052309366994584172008-10-04T08:11:00.000-07:002008-10-04T08:11:00.000-07:00Hmm.

Dan started this blog to keep our family/ friends updated on what we were doing, especially when we got preggo because we weren't going to waste money sending out pictures. Now, I blog to share our highlights and lowlights because it is hard to verbalize everything repeatedly. Thanks for the link to the big family.Dan & Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322411767813043827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-74918501677752290992008-10-04T08:01:00.000-07:002008-10-04T08:01:00.000-07:00Oh, Alysun - how many hours do I wile away online!...Oh, Alysun - how many hours do I wile away online! Unfortunatly, sometimes, it gets downright irresponsible.<BR/><BR/>A great post on why to blog. Personally, I also kind of see it as a substitute in lieu of my good-intentioned but never-acted-upon resolve to send letters or call.<BR/><BR/>I don't feel like we ever knew each other very well in Oregon, but I'm enjoying your blog very much! Thanks for sharing your life with us.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816995372527279642noreply@blogger.com
