Did you know you have a mention in it? I came here not expecting much and have been pleasantly surprised. I'm a very visual person and love me a foo-foo flashy kind of blog design. Yours is very simple, but the content, the words you write is what has kept me here for over an hour reading through your archives. <br /><br />You are inspirational and humbling. I'm a newish SAHM and a lot of what you have to say has really hit home. I quit my job to stay at home with my boys over 6 months ago and have been dealing with depression, anger, apathy, and loneliness. I have to admit, I'm also not incredibly religious and can sometimes be turned off by overtly religious blogs. However, even as I was reading some of your more christian posts, I thought to myself that there was a reason why I decided to check out your blog. I was directed here. Divine intervention.<br /><br />I look forward to reading you daily and hope that your strength and wisdom can inspire/coach me to be a better mother to my own two children. I have a lot of growing to do.AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11644416141406956257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263308152895310127.post-50322972149757416382009-10-04T14:51:17.422-07:002009-10-04T14:51:17.422-07:00I love you Lacey and all that you are.

Thank you for sharing about days that are crazy, days that make you want to cry, and days that touch you at your core. Because when you share, I learn. You encourage me to keep being a teacher through your everyday struggles of being a parent. So thank you mam for that!Mary Kathrynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263308152895310127.post-57808291090251004342009-10-04T14:27:23.796-07:002009-10-04T14:27:23.796-07:00It goes both ways, Lacey.

I like to read here and find out there's someone else out there that thinks like I do and challenges me and loves her kids and loves to laugh at her kids so she doesn't go crazy. : ) this blog encourages ME . . . every time you post!Shelley in SChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02574849424285401396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263308152895310127.post-60186792527069217992009-10-04T10:21:04.895-07:002009-10-04T10:21:04.895-07:00Dear Lacey,

You are atuned to the deeper things that count in this life. You see things through God-gifted eyes and are able to express those views that others may enjoy and learn from your experiences. You appear to be open to learn from both the successes and failures of life--willing to admit them. Thank you for allowing God to shine through you to those precious children and husband. You have and are performing the greatest task on earth--training children. I pray you will be blessed in the mundane as well as the lofty activities of home and motherhood. Keep writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263308152895310127.post-43686860946949612042009-10-04T07:33:03.245-07:002009-10-04T07:33:03.245-07:00You know I love reading your blogs and I agree wit...You know I love reading your blogs and I agree with everything all of the people before me said! I also share your blogs ! One of my favorite expressions for people that don't compliment others or that may ridicule someone else is " you don't have to blow out my candle to make yours shine".... <br />Keep up the blogs and we will keep up the compliments!!

Lacey, I do have ...yeah - and I am the second! :-)<br /><br />Lacey, I do have to confess! <br />I don't know if I have mentioned it before - but as you are checking facebook and this blog for any comments every morning - I also check it but for another reason: in the morning I also check my mails but finals are always your blog and it is such a good start to read a new entry, have a look at some new adorable pictures and - mostly - get inspired of the day. <br /><br />It is a little bit like the book you open once a day to read inspiring lines - a special moment of quietness, laughter or satisfaction.<br /><br />Thank you for taking your time to fill this page up with thoughts and stories of your daily life and for sharing it with us!<br /><br />Love<br /><br />Marie from GAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263308152895310127.post-55395314937606064742009-10-03T21:12:31.814-07:002009-10-03T21:12:31.814-07:00yay!

(hee hee)<br /><br />I know you didn't write this to fish for encouragement, but I will say that I recommend your blog to lots of my friends because it is filled with so much stuff that is funny, insightful and creative. Your writings are very inspirational, and they provide some sort of connectivity with people like me, who are struggling/dealing with the same kinds of issues.<br /><br />That said, I can totally relate to being happy about comments. I, too, get excited when I see that folks have commented on my posts!<br /><br />Keep it up!<br />AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03794810056282392626noreply@blogger.com
