One Thousand Posts

I feel like this post should have something to do with Arabian Nights... or maybe that's just my word association!

It's really hard to believe that I've been keeping this blog for a little over 7 years now.  Hard to believe that I've had enough to say to fill up 1000 posts.  I never could have imagined all the things that have happened in the past 7 1/2 years of married life!

From babies to travel, everything (for the most part) has been chronicled here.  I laid out, right from the beginning, the reason I was blogging and even when I discovered everyone else out in the blogosphere and now social media I think and hope I've stayed true to myself.  Not that I haven't learned a few things along the way!  I love sharing with 5 Minute Fridays and getting to read tons of new books for free is always nice!

But first and foremost this has been my online scrapbook.  I never knew it would be so important as I haven't had time to really scrapbook in over a year and I will never be able to remember all the things I want to without it.

It's funny because in light of the news that Google is doing away with their Reader on June 1st, I have also realized the friends that I've made through this blog.  So far only a very few have I met in person, but they are some of the most challenging and encouraging friends, sometimes even if they barely know I exist.  Getting to know someone through their blog, it allows them to speak into your own life too.

I'm thankful for blogging and I never imagined how THIS blog would change my life!

Here's to the next one thousand posts!

Blog Party Time: 2012!

I'm Krista.  Welcome to Married Life, welcome to my blog! Things are a little haphazard and chaotic around here lately... because this is what I've been doing a lot of!


There are actually 2 of them, but I can only hold one and the camera at a time!  My baby girls are 4 weeks old and I'm getting used to going from 2 kids to 4!  My boys are 2 and 5, but so far I haven't had to take care of all 4 of them at the same time for too long!


This blog has kind of been taken over by all things baby and kid related (especially as all of them have birthdays in March now!), but I do write about other things too.  I'm heavily into photography, although only as an amateur so far.  Someday I might have my own photography business... when I have a little spare time!

I'm a science nerd and strongly believe that all the chemicals we come in contact with on a daily basis have an effect on us.  To that extent I try to use all natural non-toxic home, body, and personal care products.  I sometimes write about those products.

I like to travel and meet new people.  And if you'll stay in touch, you'll always hear back from me... eventually!  I've had a penpal from Australia since I was 7 years old... she's coming to visit me in June for the second time!

And now... since it's past midnight I hope my babies are ready to sleep since I am... although the one I'm holding is still wide awake!  So if you get a comment on your blog at midnight or later you'll know why!  Leave a comment here and I'll come visit!

Happy Blog Hopping!
