"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. " -Helen Keller

Happy Blogoversary To Me

Holy shit y'all...in only about 14 minutes or so (on the 11th), I will have been blogging for 7 years. 7 YEARS. Wow. Looking back at where I was then and where I am today just blows my mind. Back then, we were in the throes of repeat pregnancy loss and I was wondering if I'd ever have my third child. Now, that little miracle is in kindergarten and shows no fear in tackling anything the world throws at him. I was so lucky and blessed to find a solution to my infertility issues and I've been so blessed to have all of you go on this journey with me.

I wish I had a more profound or moving post to celebrate this 7th blogoversary but, honestly, I've been too busy and too tired to come up with something deeper and more meaningful. Let me tell y'all something...trying to manage a group of 5 year olds at a pumpkin patch is like herding cats. It's a hella bunch of work, you don't get very far, and you end up exhausted...hence, no deep and meaningful post. Instead, I'd like you to comment here and tell me something about you and me...maybe how you found my blog, why you keep coming back, stories you've heard about me, something you've always wondered about me. It would mean the world to me.

Happy blogoversary, my love! 7 years is awesome, I'm so glad to have been a small part of (some) of those 7 years.
Your kindness, humor, and honesty are what has drawn me to you. I'm sure I came across your blog during ICLW, but YOU are what has made me stay. I love you and value you more than I could ever possibly say. Here's to at least 7 more years of blogging!
*HUGS*

Good gracious, this blog should be in school by now! :-)
Happy blogoversary, Kristin!
I first came to your blog from Mel's blog, there was a comment that got my attention and then, here I was. And then, there was the St. Elsewhere drama, and you had that wonderful idea and you included all of us and I just got blown away by your thoughtfulness and care. I am sorry I could not get to my email sooner though, to tell you on time that the fabricworm piece was from me...
Anyway, yeah, so I have seen your comments on many blogs I read, and I just think that you are a great lady, nice, caring, always having a good word and a kind thought to share. You have a very nice family, full of love and respect, and this is so rare nowadays, that I must complement you double for the very good job you do at caring for your family, teaching your kids to be responsible future grown-ups with hearts and minds open, and keeping your marriage fine and dandy as it was on day one.

To Kristin and her 7 years of blogging!

Hear, hear!

See, I am the 7th commenter on your 7 year blogoversary post! Ha! I am so cool like that....

How did I find your blog? I seriously don't remember. Maybe I came back from some comment you left me, or maybe ICLW.

Stories I have heard about you? Not really. But yeah, yours were the posts/updates on BlogHer that I really remember. I remember when you posted about your purple hair, and how you had used an old dress and made it into a new one.

Why I keep coming back? I try to follow up with people on my blog list, so I tend to obviously keep reading whatever they are posting and all of that. You are very talented.

Something I wonder about you? Are you serious about going back to college? Do you have a plan. You would be wonderful in whatever you do.

And oh, Happy Blogoversary!

I found you, like a bazillion years ago, on ICLW, and we just clicked! I totally get your sense of humor, and you get mine, and I enjoy reading about the exploits of your sons and husband. I can relate to having crazy hours, and trying to run a crazy household in them!

Congratulations on 7 years! How many posts is that?

Very impressive. You're like a Grande Dame of BlogWorld.

Raising my glass to you. (Okay, my coffee cup.) Happy Blogoversary!

I can't remember how I found you either. Maybe you left a comment for me and I clicked over. You are such a rock in this community. No matter how busy your houseful keeps you, you always find time to leave supportive, loving comments. The quilt project for St. Elsewhere, the Hanukkah decorations for Mel, sneakily getting my BFF's email addy so Kathy could surprise me at my shower, etc. You are so thoughtful, caring, and creative. Love you, my friend!

Happy Blogoversary! I still don't like your comment section! It won't let me comment from my phone. I love all your crafty stuff and your crazy stories. Here's to another 7 years - and 7 after that until you're done telling all those stories!
