For Kicks

family, reflecting

I’ve been a little bummed that since my domain changed awhile back that the “Link Within” widget doesn’t work on my blog anymore.  In English, that means the little boxes on the bottom of the post that say “You May Also Enjoy” and then a link to an old post with similar tags.  Have you seen those before?  Whenever I try to install that feature on my blog, it links back to the old blog, which is of course, a broken link.  I’ve contacted the LinkWithin people, and they haven’t gotten back to me in the last few months.

So I thought I’d bring that to you today.  A blast from the past, a trip down memory late, a post just for kicks.

Here’s the post my kids most request to see.  I’ll admit, that even though the picture is sideways, I could watch this all day long.  David and Silje laugh their head off, and Elias keeps telling us it’s him.  He doesn’t understand David used to be his size.

Here was my first controversial post.  It’s a big moment in the life of a blogger when you realize that your opinion may be attacked or questioned and you post it anyway.  You just say what you need to say.  It’s when the rebel comes out.

Here’s the post that gets the most hits on this blog, although it will soon be passed up with the Clara Cowl pattern page.  No, the quilt is still not finished.  Maybe in time for Silje’s wedding at this point…

Here’s a fight Silje and David had a long time ago, but I still remember.

This blogging…it’s fun stuff.

    Hurrah! you just told me what LinkWithin means (I kept seeing it and had simply no idea – it’s a daft name – but sorry it isn’t working).

    Your roundup is intriguing – just off to take a nosey…

    ;0)

    aaagh – I was brought up in a land of tabloid journalism and I need controversy – but your contraversial link goes to the cutesy one (which is very cute!).

    you’re keeping me in suspenders…

    I love your controversial link. I have found it interesting that a lot of the books that talk about the NFP talk more about how to GET pregnant, rather than how to NOT get pregnant. My mother is a breast cancer survivor, and there has been some links between breast cancer and the pill due to the way that it affects your hormones. It made me thing twice about what I was doing, and upon reading more about it, I came across the same info as you…the way that really one of the ways that the pill works is to not let a fertilized embryo implant. I don’t take the pill anymore. We had one child before the pill, none during, 2 after, and I am pregnant with our 4th (3rd after stopping the pill). The first after was ‘planned’, as in we were trying, and the 2nd 2 were ‘surprises’ but more surprises in that we both knew what we were doing, and it was a ‘surprise’ to realize that what we were doing was working and I really knew my body! I feel so much better and am in much better tune with my body and its patterns. Of course, I always love your posts!

    This is a really cute post and a very delightful way to discuss the frustrations that are sometimes associated with blogging. Keep up the good work and dont let those folks at LinkWithin off the hook without a solution!
