People can be so rude! They must not have a baby. I have my blog for a hobby and I post when I have time to and since its a hobby I don't feel the need to do it everyday. If that person doesn't like it then they need to just find a different blog. I have to say you are one of my favorite bloggers and I come to your blog very very often! And we need to do some more serious baby proofing around here too.

Its very easy to sit there anonymously and hit the comment button. I don't care how often you post. Your blog is the only one I subscribe to where I read every word and every post. You are funny and you are genuine and I love that about you... and the blog. I am so glad you are a mother who puts your beautiful baby first rather than a blog. He will only be a baby once so take it all in and absorb every moment {as you seem to be doing}. You don't want to find him 6 years old and realize that you blogged his infancy away for people you don't even know. You are doing the right thing.

Hi Sarah! I'm just catching up on my most favourite blogs today and of course had to stop by here. Love, love your blog always and it's totally your blog so you post whenever you feel like it. I will always be here to read whatever and whenever you post. :-) Oh, and about the baby gates, I put up one and it was always open because it was just too difficult to open and close. I guess you know it's a good baby gate when adults can't even get out. LOL! Have a great weekend! Carly

Ignore comments like that. I love reading your blog - whether you post every day or just once a week! Anyone who doesn't realize that you are busy with a little one obviously doesn't realize what that entails!

My parents made a baby gate for their house when they got a puppy. Made a frame with 2x4's, and then used banister spindles for the "bars". Worked great, and they just removed it when she was older (and saved it for grandkids...hopefully soon!)

Anon needs to learn some manners. On the other hand, they are obviously a rabid fan and can't get enough of you ;)

We used that last gate. Simple and it did the job. Before you know it, you'll be taking those gates down because Cooper will be climbing up and down those stairs and running around. It happens fast!

keep on blogging and i agree with you deserving a piece of cake ;)

Try putting aluminum foil around the edge of the blanket so that your dog won't go on it. After she steps on it once, she will never do it again!

OMG! Don't let it get you down, but, if you wa...

2013-02-21T18:12:57.660-05:00

OMG! Don't let it get you down, but, if you want to have a piece of chocolate cake to make yourself feel better that would be completely acceptable!! ;)
Some people just suck...
I think your posts are worth waiting for, they always make me giggle!!

Shame on that individual who clearly has never had an infant/toddler! I enjoy your posts however few and far between they may be. I say attempt to look past the insult of it and think of it as a complement! Clearly they love you so very much they must sit at their computer and refresh their browser by the seconds!!!! :) Oh, and as a mom of soon to be two boys I love seeing your posts of the little man too!!

2013-02-21T16:06:28.003-05:00

what the heck?! i think you post a lot actually. and it's fun stuff too. some people post every single day or 3 times a day and their blogs are a snooze. you have plenty of people who like reading so shove off anon! it's not like you post only twice a year, jeez!

2013-02-21T12:23:55.362-05:00

oh man, I bet "anonymus" doesn't have any babies! ;)
I always enjoy what you post whenever you post it, plus coop is just so darn cute - you're more than "allowed" to be consumed by him!

I love reading your blog and enjoy everything you ...

2013-02-21T00:09:40.112-05:00

I love reading your blog and enjoy everything you post! It doesn't matter how often you post, your little one is more important than anything else at this point in life. I appreciate the inspiration you have given me and I look forward to new posts, if anything, I'm even more excited when I notice theres a new post!

2013-02-20T22:58:24.934-05:00

Totally ignore that coward who is afraid to let you know who they are! Just keep doing what you are doing! People who mind don't matter, and people who matter don't mind.

I love your blog and I love to read it whenever yo...

2013-02-20T21:58:05.489-05:00

I love your blog and I love to read it whenever you post anything new. I don't care if that's three times per week or three times per month. Whatever. Your blog, your rules. Do what works for you. Baby is most important, says the working mom who loves to read your blog! xo

2013-02-20T19:23:57.861-05:00

I feel sorry for anonymous people who make nasty comments. You are doing a great job with all your DIY and being a mother at the same time! Remember I emailed you that our babies are exactly the same age, so I totally understand about getting into everything! I only have time to do any sort of work at night. However, I gave up on baby-proofing, because my daughter just ripped off every sort of corner bumper/protection I installed around, like it was some sort of game :) So like you, I just trail behind her all day, hehe.

2013-02-20T19:07:02.487-05:00

I love Cooper! BTW, ignore that horrible comment. Normal people dont make other people feel like s***. Has to be something wrong with a fellow human being if they enjoy tearing people down :( So sad!

2013-02-20T18:25:15.222-05:00

Why do people have to suck so much? Ignore the creeps who hide behind anonymity. Coop is amazing and so is his Mama's blog- and as long as you've eaten and showered today youre ahead of the game! <3

2013-02-20T17:39:09.011-05:00

Oh don't worry about that nasty comment - I always look forward to your blog regardless how regular it is! Both photos of your son are really lovely, the 2nd one makes his eyes look really clear and sparkly - a good one for framing? I remember gates; actually I still have one in my garage as I sometimes use it for my dogs!

2013-02-20T17:09:44.006-05:00

How rude some people are, to make such comments.
I have to laugh, even though my child is all grown up I am still involved in the gate business, as in pet gates to
keep my dog out of parts of the house I don't want him in!
Cooper is just adorable!!

2013-02-20T16:12:24.778-05:00

What? Someone seriously wrote that as a comment? Beyatch!! I was delusional too and somehow thought I'd have a ton more time during the day with a baby that I did without. What were we thinking?!!! But it feels good to know that other moms out there are struggling with the balance and time management, etc. I'm down to only one post a week and I'm trying not to stress myself out over it. The Coopster is so handsome! I was literally laughing out loud at you actually painting a baby gate:)

Oh my goodness, your son is adorable! Many blessin...

Oh my goodness, your son is adorable!
Many blessings on you & your little family =)

Seriously? Do NOT allow that comment the privilege of even one more second of your time!

Be the best mom you can be, while you can be! My baby will be 18 years old soon, and I would give anything to be "that" mom again. Enjoy your time with your little one. The rest will come.

2013-02-20T15:22:22.036-05:00

Your pics of your baby are stunning! And since I am here, I do so love your style! The simplicity of it is always an inspiration to me. And seriously, it is your blog and you can post however and whatever you want! If there were stipulations to having a blog - I would have been fired a long time ago. Life happens! Thanks for all your inspirational work! We are slowly remodeling our home and I always come here for ideas.

2013-02-20T13:48:48.021-05:00

That anon doesn't know what she's talking about! I'm lucky if I can get in a couple posts a month. My son is turning 1 tomorrow (I know tear tear) and we're still chasing him around. He tries climbing everything and tries to still eat everything..it's exhausting! I work full time, so I always thought, oh I'll get home, play with the baby, cook dinner, hang out, maybe do a project or read up on some blogs. No...its like come home tired, try to clean, get almost nothing done because little one refuses to play on his own. Ay! And we tried the baby gate too, only to have him screaming and trying to climb out So...we just put a different gate around the tv and let him roam relatively free. Oy whatever works right? Ha :) just keep writing when you can, we'll be here :)

2013-02-20T13:25:17.937-05:00

I have been reading your blog for about a year or so. I, too, am a busy mom of 2/full-time teacher so I don't have time to comment very often on how wonderful your blog is. It is actually refreshing to me that you are keeping it real and being a mom because I feel like I'm not alone in craziness of life.

Perhaps the person that wrote that hate-filled comment has nothing better do to with his/her life than read blogs and write mean comments. You have that sweet little boy of yours to love and spend time with. Don't let negative comments get you down!
