We're in good company!
MommyLife is now averaging 1400 visits per day. That means a lot of people - I mean, a LOT of people - read without commenting. That's okay - and I want you to know I appreciate your stopping by!
But what intrigues me are some of the names of towns you all come from - Roundup, Montana; Humble, Texas - as well as places as far away as Hanoi, Beijing, The Phillipines, South Africa. I wish some of you would add yourselves to my Frappr (now in the lower left sidebar) to make it even more interesting!
Being a person whose purpose is to communicate, this blog has given me the opportunity that articles and books just could not provide - to share ideas in real time with people who don't have to pay to read them (though I don't mind if you read my books too :)
I thank God for my readers every day - and as though we were best friends sitting and having a cup of coffee together (though I don't drink coffee anymore - maybe tea?), I feel like I'll never run out of ideas for things to talk about.
Thank you so much for coming by to visit! Today is my birthday, so let's just imagine a couple of virtual cupcakes for us to share (Maddy asked me, "Mom, are you going to put ALL the candles on the cake this year?")
For a list of visitors in the last couple hours, read the extended entry. It's amazing!

Happy Belated Birthday! Your post made me decide to de-lurk and say hi! I blog too, and I've been told by so many that they read my blog regularly, but they don't/won't comment for whatever reason! I sure wish they would, to let me know they're there, so here I am. :)
Hope you had a beautiful birthday.
