More posts. Not pictures, reviews, saving strategies etc. I want to see more of your posts like "Failing" from May 17. Not for you to fail, but how it was a real post. Your thoughts, feeling, written truth. Know what I mean?

I always love your comments and advice on thebump, so I started following the blog
About 4 months I would say
I love the posts about what works with Carina and what doesn't as far as baby gear goes. I find it really useful as someone who *hopefully* will need all the gear in the future. I really like the saving strategies as well. I really like it all haha.

While I am vaugly interested in your product insight, and savings recommendations I mainly love stories about life in general being a mom because it feel more like we're at a GTG again just talking.

Hi, Im' Jessi.
I'm from Ohio.
My DH and I have been TTC for a year now. We have a few fur babies though. :)
I saw your blog from TTGP graduate posts. I love reading all the check ins.
I like that you post a good assortment of things. I think if you stop writing what you feel and start trying to cater more to what people want, it'll feel forced. That's just my 2 cents. =)
Who are you? Hi I'm Nikki!

I don't remember how I found your blog... I think it was linked off another blog I read. Hmm.
I've been reading for a few months now... since before you changed the name to Growing Up Geeky.
