the mommyhood memos: who are you?!

who are you?!

Hey you! Do I know you? Have I visited your blog lately??

Recently I've been getting a few emails from people that have started something like this... "I've been reading your blog for a while now but have never commented or written, and I just wanted to let you know....... fill-in-the-blank-here......"

It's been really fun! But it's also made me realize that I probably don't have a clue about who is really reading this thing.

So, if that's you... if you're reading but have never introduced yourself... Come out, come out, wherever you are! I'd love to meet you. Please leave a comment to introduce yourself!

Also, if I've never visited your blog (or haven't in a long time) then please help me out and leave me a link to one of your recent or favorite posts. I'm sometimes organized when it comes to blogging... and sometimes not so much. So do me a favor and help me find your blog! I'd love to visit.

Oh, and one more thing, make sure your blogger account has an email registered as your "reply to" address so that I can email you back! (I've tried responding to so many people lately and have gotten a return message saying you've not left an email address. Makes you incredibly hard to reach ladies!!!)

Dear friends, I hope you had a nice weekend. Thanks for your patience with me as I try to check out your blogs!!

glad to meet you,

I asked my 'silent readers' to introduce themselves. I met a ton of my readers that I could have possibly never heard from before. It was great!

I see based on my analytics that people visit, but they don't comment. It's funny you go to some blogs and there are 400 comments on a post that is just a picture of a piece of cake. I could write that I won the lottery and hardly get a peep! Anyway, I read your blog often, and enjoy it!

Anyway, my name is Ilze, I live in Cape Town, South Africa (but moving to Pretoria in April) and my first language is Afrikaans. My wedding is April 30th, so I'm very excited about that! I don't have a blog yet, but want to start one - I'm just a little nervous about posting in English but I guess I'll just have to get over that! Love your blog - even though I'm not a mommy yet, I've learned so much and just can't wait 'till I am! Your son is just adorable! :)

Nice to meet you finally!

I love that you put becoming & being a mommy in such a real perspective!!

I love reading your posts about Levi because he and Silas are so close in age (not even a week apart!). Thanks for your comments on my blog, and I'll try to be less quiet. :)

I comment (when I have time - in between being a mom to a teenager and toddler, a full time teacher, a wife, friend, daughter and sister). Love getting to meet new people and love being able to interact via social network with other moms.

Nice to meet you ;)

At March 9, 2011 at 7:22 AM , cooperl788 said...: You already know me, but I'm just stopping by to say hi today! It's funny, I usually rush to read what you've written and see pictures. But today I just finally got around to actually looking to your sidebar and noticed your "Upcoming Memos". I love that idea!! It's exciting to see sneak-peeks of what you're working on for coming posts.
At March 10, 2011 at 7:03 AM , JIll said...: Hi Adriel, I come often and I do comment so I don't think I am new to you. But this is a great way to meet your readers. I will be interrested in how it works. Have a wonderful weekend. I can't wait to hear about how your Sunday goes.
At March 10, 2011 at 2:20 PM , Jen L said...: I found your blog when I was pregnant last year. Someone had linked to a post of yours with tips for new moms, and I've been reading ever since. You have such a way with words. I'm glad I found you! Oh, and "hello!"
At March 11, 2011 at 3:36 AM , Anonymous said...: Hey! You actually were following me over at thebigbrainfart.blogspot, but then i moved to wordpress!! I'm now ababynanny.com and I'm featured on scarymommy.com today, whoot!
At March 11, 2011 at 6:14 AM , Branson said...: Those emails always get me wondering as well! ;-)
At March 14, 2011 at 9:19 AM , Laura said...: I'm Laura :) Love your blog...and by your posts it seems like we have a lot in common!
At March 15, 2011 at 11:30 AM , kate maggie said...: What a great idea! Im going to do this on my blog!! There is a bunch of secret Postcards readers. I love you Adriel and miss you so much!! xo
