I know, I know. We should've done it already...but with the holidays and all I procrastinated. This is just a reminder that we will be going private with our blog in the next 2 weeks, so if you haven't already requested to stay tuned in with us, now is your chance. You can leave a comment with your email (I won't publish it) or send me an email at tysha_denae@yahoo.com and we will add you to the list. Thanks!
One more thing: do you readers think it's a hassle to read private blogs, that is, to have to log in first to do so? I find that I read private blogs less frequently...hmm...just a random wonder...I hope our going private doesn't make it harder to stay in touch! Feel free to leave an opinion and who knows, maybe we'll reconsider!?!
Update: So, I've got a huge list of family, extended family, friends, and friends of friends who read our blog and would like to continue doing so. Some of you call yourselves "blog stalkers" but I beg to differ. I we know you and you read our blog and don't leave comments on a regular basis, that does not make you a stalker! There are also a handful of people who we don't know at all who like reading and want to continue reading. I am having mixed feelings about the whole going private thing: Jacob and I are going to conduct a bit more research to see if any of our fears are truly founded, or if we're considering going private more out of fear. Initially, we had a few comments that made me uneasy - hence, we started moderating our comments and haven't had another weird one yet. Sometimes it's just a little creepy knowing that the people who left the yucky comments perhaps are still looking at our blog silently, ya know? I understand the need to not tell too many details about day to day routines or where you live or work or when you'll be away on vacation etc., those kinds of precautions make sense. Another reason we are considering going private is that (shh) I am going to be launching my Photography website and blog shortly, and we thought it might be nice to keep our family one more private. Hmm...we will keep you posted. Again, any other opinions out there - feel free to share, this is kind of an interesting discussion!

Be safe, but I don't know about private..I don't read any private blogs, and part of the whole concept of blogging is to get things out to share with the world. If you just want to share with your family, that's fine, but I know I refer friends to your blog when you have nice insights and cute pics! xo
I have a hard time keeping up with private blogs because I use google reader... it can't get to private blogs, so remembering to check every so often isn't nearly as convenient. :)
