Hi all! I need to be honest about a few things before I go on. After blogging for years, I made the decision last year to close my personal blogs and then my pregnancy blog and make it all one. This was a HUGE mistake. I took years of work and erased it all. I started this blog to chronicle my life, my life as a mom, and then mine and Elijah's life together. I thought it was good to have it be about our 'life' instead of keeping it separate. I was wrong. Even the best parents NEED to have themselves still. After a year this blog has gone through many changes. I am sure many of you have noticed it started severely lacking personal posts. Especially if you were a reader of my prego blog or my personal blogs, you knew I updated daily, sometimes multiple times. Well anyway, due to many conflicts of interest I feel this blog, my blogging in general, has suffered. A big thing to point out was it wasn't until this blog that I EVER had peers from real life other than my close friends read my blogs regularly. And honestly that bothered me. It made it hard for me to post because I was afraid I would be judged or looked at differently due to my opinions on things. I was all of a sudden afraid to post about things like sex or my body, or even say a cuss word. It made me paranoid and insecure. and even though traffic is not a main concern and not WHY I blog, it hurt my traffic. Which means it hurt my sponsors and hurt the pay I could be making from this.
SO in order to attempt to fix this, this blog will now be SOLELY about Elijah. Things to do with Elijah. It will grow with him, it will talk about him, and it will be his.
I am moving ME elsewhere. It is not complete yet, but my new home will be http://www.erinjeany.com. Yes, I know. Totally fitting, right? Erinjeany.com will be ME. All ME. All the time.
linkexpired will still be the same. Although we do have a new contributor...
But I just thought I would explain that. Some posts will be moving from here to there during a transition period. So bare with me.
Thanks for reading.

I think we all need to re-assess where our blogs are going and what we want them to be at some point. I'm so proud of you for taking that leap and for setting it up in a way that works for you. I miss seeing your posts, I hope this will mean we will see more of you on-line.
