Blog Etiquette

by Natalie

So, I've been reading this blog -- it's by a scrapbooking author and mother of three. It's usually pretty fun, although she's not really great at posting regularly; we usually get to read about twice per month. Since she had her last baby, though, it's more like once a month, which is fine (it's been about eight months, but I totally get that babies take TIME!), until you get an entry like this:

"Ugh.
"That pretty much sums up last week."

Yeah, if you're only posting once a month, you probably shouldn't leave something so discouraging up for the ENTIRE month. I check this one out at least twice a week, and it's starting to feel like whining -- the repetition of looking at it so often, I think. I guess this is just my little reminder to myself and the blogging community at large to be a little more aware of the content you're leaving out there!

But we know you. If it is a girl, you'll change the name to something else at the last moment. And, although Ivy Anne sounds really cute, Sophie Zankman is nice, too!

(This is totally a joke. I meant nothing by it. Honest.)

Well, no, we're not sure yet if we're having a girl or not... but... we really like Ivy Anne, and although Sophie is a really nice name... I once had a pig named Sophie. and Red. and Tina. and Brownie. Those are all pretty effectively out for us, especially for girl names. Although, Zenkman is still in -- I had NO pigs named Zenkman!

I totally agree about your blog advice. While every day is definitely not sunshine and roses, leaving UGH up for an entire month is a bit much! We're missing you! Hope Joel has a great trip! and you too in Idaho!
