My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find nearly all of your post’s to be exactly I’m looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content available for you? I wouldn’t mind composing a post or elaborating on a lot of the subjects you write regarding here.
Again, awesome site!
We stumbled over here coming from a different website and thought
I might check things out. I like what I see so now i’m following you. Look forward to looking at your web page repeatedly.
I like what you guys are up too. Such clever work and reporting! Keep up the excellent works guys I’ve included you guys to blogroll.
Hey there I am so glad I found your site, I really found you by mistake,
while I was researching on Bing for something else, Regardless
I am here now and would just like to say thanks for a remarkable post and a all round enjoyable
blog (I also love the theme/design), I don't have time
to browse it all at the moment but I have book-marked it and also included your RSS feeds, so
when I have time I will be back to read a great deal more, Please do keep up the great job.
Appreciating the hard work you put into your blog and detailed information you provide.
It’s great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same out of
date rehashed information. Fantastic read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m
adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.
Hello! I’ve been reading your site for some time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from New Caney Tx! Just wanted to tell you keep up the excellent work!
I am really enjoying the theme/design of your web site. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues? A handful of my blog visitors have complained about my site not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any suggestions to help fix this problem?
I am curious to find out what blog platform you have been utilizing? I’m
having some minor security problems with my latest website
and I would like to find something more risk-free.
Do you have any suggestions?
Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any helpful hints for rookie blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this site. It’s simple,
yet effective. A lot of times it’s hard to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and appearance. I must say you’ve done a
great job with this. In addition, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Safari.
Excellent Blog!
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as I provide credit
and sources back to your weblog? My blog site is in the very same niche as yours and my visitors
would definitely benefit from a lot of the information you present here.
Please let me know if this alright with you. Thanks!
Howdy would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re using? I’ve loaded your blog in
3 different web browsers and I must say this blog loads a
lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good web hosting
provider at a honest price? Many thanks,
I appreciate it!
Very good blog you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any community forums
that cover the same topics talked about in this article?
I’d really like to be a part of group where I can get feedback from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Cheers!
Howdy! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I genuinely enjoy reading through your posts. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that go over the same topics? Thanks for your time!
Do you have a spam problem on this blog; I also am a blogger, and I was curious about your situation; we have created some nice practices and we are looking to exchange strategies with others, please shoot me an email if interested.
Please let me know if you’re looking for a author for your weblog.
You have some really good posts and I think I would be
a good asset. If you ever want to take some
of the load off, I’d really like to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please blast me an email if interested. Thanks!
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. Nevertheless imagine if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this website could undeniably be one of the greatest in its field. Amazing blog!
Great blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design. Bless you
Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working
with? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time making
a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and
style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Cheers
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of unique content I’ve either created myself
or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission.
Do you know any solutions to help protect against content from being ripped off?
I’d truly appreciate it.
Have you ever thought about publishing an e-book or guest authoring on other websites? I have a blog based on the same information you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my subscribers would value your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e mail.
Hey there! Someone in my Myspace group shared this website with us so I came to take a look. I’m definitely
loving the information. I’m bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Fantastic blog and wonderful design.
Very good blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers? I’m hoping
to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused .
. Any suggestions? Thank you!
My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .
net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on
numerous websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
Does your website have a contact page? I’m having a tough time locating it but, I’d like to send you an email.
I’ve got some suggestions for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it develop over time.
It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d definitely donate to this
fantastic blog! I suppose for now i’ll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to brand new updates and will talk about this blog with my Facebook group. Talk soon!
Greetings from California! I’m bored to death at
work so I decided to browse your website on my iphone during lunch break.
I love the knowledge you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m
shocked at how fast your blog loaded on my cell phone .
. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, good site!
Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My blog addresses a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Awesome blog by the way!
Right now it looks like Drupal is the preferred blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
Good post but I was wondering if you could write a litte
more on this topic? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit further. Thank you!
Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the
same blog platform as yours and I’m having difficulty finding one? Thanks a lot!
When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Cheers!
Hi there! This is my first visit to your blog! We are a collection of volunteers and starting a new initiative in a community in the same niche. Your blog provided us valuable information to work on. You have done a marvellous job!
Hello there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting fed up of
Wordpress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another
platform. I would be great if you could
point me in the direction of a good platform.
Howdy! This post could not be written any better! Reading this post reminds me
of my previous room mate! He always kept
talking about this. I will forward this post to him.
Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems
as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste your
intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could
be giving us something enlightening to read?
Today, I went to the beach with my children.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter
and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put
the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally
off topic but I had to tell someone!
Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my
apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your site?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could
a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own
a similar one and i was just wondering if you
get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can suggest?
I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any help is very much appreciated.
This design is wicked! You obviously know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your site.
It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Exceptional work!
Hello there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after browsing through some of
the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyways, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be bookmarking and checking back frequently!
Hello! Would you mind if I share your blog with my zynga group? There’s a lot of people that I think would really enjoy your content.
Please let me know. Many thanks
Hey there, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has
some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other then that, excellent blog!
Wonderful blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thank you
Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not
very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.
I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Thank you
Hello! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when viewing from my iphone. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be
able to correct this problem. If you have any suggestions, please
share. Thank you!
I ™m not that much of a internet reader to be honest but your blogs really nice, keep it up!
I’ll go ahead and bookmark your website to come back down the road. Many thanks
I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you create this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz respond as I’m looking
to create my own blog and would like to find out where u got this from.
appreciate it
Wow! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a entirely different subject but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Great choice of colors!
Hi there just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading properly.
I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve
tried it in two different browsers and both
show the same outcome.
Hey are using WordPress for your blog platform?
I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own.
Do you need any coding expertise to make your own blog?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG
editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
Howdy! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be okay.
I’m undoubtedly enjoying your blog and look forward to new posts.
Hi there! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any recommendations?
Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good success. If you know of any please share. Thank you!
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to
get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not
very web smart so I’m not 100% positive. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Hmm is anyone else having problems with the images on this blog loading? I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I’m not sure why but this website is loading incredibly
slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end?
I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
Hey there! I’m at work browsing your blog from my new apple iphone!
Just wanted to say I love reading through your blog and
look forward to all your posts! Keep up the excellent work!
Wow that was strange. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked submit my
comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not writing
all that over again. Anyhow, just wanted to say great blog!
It drives me absolutely nuts when people say their baby is too young to do art because they put everything in their mouth. Of course they’re going to put everything in their mouth, but if you do art a lot and TEACH them not to put those things in their mouth then they will eventually stop. I’m the lead teacher at a daycare for babies ages 9m-14m and I do art with them almost every day and they love it!!
This is a good post. This post give truly quality information. I ™m definitely going to look into it. Really very useful tips are provided here. Thank you so much.Keep up the good works.
Fabulous resource for tiny tots. I’m always on the lookout for new and fun experiences for my grandchildren.
Thanks for everything! Brilliant round up of fab ideas. I have pinned this to our board.
I really like what you guys tend to be up too.
Such clever work and coverage! Keep up the great works guys I’ve you guys to my blogroll.
Thank you! This is an awesome post! I’m a part time nanny for a child who just turned one and I am always looking for creative (and affordable) ideas! As well, I was Montessori trained many (many) years ago and so your ideas feed right into that learning! Today I will be watching a child who is almost one yet who has significant developmental delays…texture fun will be absolutely perfect for her! Thank you so much!
Really great ideas. I especially like the clips. I will also be trying those watercolors too. Thanks for sharing at Mom’s Library!
Brilliant round up of fab ideas. I have pinned this to our board.
Thanks for linking to the Sunday showcase.
Love the unexpected tot toys picture. Toddlers can have fun with just about anything that allows them to use their imagination, it doesn’t have to be expensive! Gotta watch them with those little fuzzy balls, many 1 year olds are still putting everything in their mouths!
