just checking…
Well, the upgrade was a bit more painful then ones that I have done in the past… I am having a bit of a problem with my private posts but I am going to try to fix that as soon as I can…
ETA… so I decided to e-mail someone who I knew had a bit of the same problem… of course… when I did that I tried something and figured it out…
I have an invisible counter on my blog… I like knowing who reads, where they come from, both links and countries, provinces. states, cities… what they read when they are here and how long they stay…
Surprisingly since I put the counter on last year I have had more than 40 000 hits…
Sometimes people come in through links from other blogs, If I don’t already know that blog it gives me a new blog to read… sometimes it reminds me that I haven’t checked in on that blogger in a while…
Some links come from direct search engine searches… “paxye’s rant” etc…
some come though obscure search engine searches… “what not to eat while pregnant”…”pirate ship image”…some keywords that bring up my blog are weird and are certainly not what people are looking for… some searches hopefully give another perspective to the person that comes upon my page… (CIO, FF, Circ etc)
Some people follow links from my signature on boards and blogs that I have left comments on..
Some people people subscribe to my blog and use the link that they get by e-mail…
Some still come through my old blogspot blog…
Someone comes here through my profile on a french alumni site that I have found a few highschool friends through… (who are you?)
Some other Quebec people come by often… some I know who they are… some I would love to find out…
A few come here from “sept04spiceitup” a private board group made from some of people from the birthboard on BBC that I used to go to… I have no clue what they are saying…. If you are talking about how cute my kids are then please leave a comment 😉
if you want to talk behind my back go ahead…. but please cut and paste people,… ignorance is bliss 😉
Anyway, I love seeing who is reading… it was surprising to see the numbers go up so much when I became officially overdue and then when Khéna was born… it surprises me to see how many people come to see almost everyday…
I never actually thought that people would actually read me when I started blogging…
You have got to see this if you already haven’t…. The Lactivist
The “pork people” have threatened to go “The Lactivist” because of a shirt that she has put up on Cafepress… You have got to read what they told her and what she wrote… What is this world coming to! and why the the meat people feel so defensive….
I made changes to our diets a while back but with the end of the pregnancy that was really hard because of the SPD and the first weeks with new babe etc.. our healthy diet went pretty much out the window. We were eating more processed foods because they were quick and easy and I didn’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen or shopping…
I think that we were starting to see the effect that the foods were having on the boys though… which is a bit scary…
About 2 weeks ago we saw a moth in the Kitchen only to discover that we had an infestation of cupboard moths in one of our cupboards…. If you have ever had them you know how bad they can become… If you don’t know what they are they are those little larvae that come home with you often from the store. They can be in grains, pasta, rice, sweets… pretty much anywhere that they want to be… they can eat through plastic and borough into the seal of cans so you have to clean out pretty much everything…. well… we cleaned and purged through all of the cupboards and are starting out mostly anew… We are going back to a more wholesome and whole foods diet, we are cutting out all of the colourings and I am going to start avoiding the foods with the highest amounts of Salicylates and giving the boys sources of the omegas to see if there is a change in their behaviours…
Though we still have a lot of things to work on we are finally getting back on track and going in the right direction diet wise. I would also like to lose a lot of the weight that I am carrying. I am of course addicted to sugar… I need to vut it out of a the least cut back… that will help a lot in losing weight since that is my downfall….
So our diet is changing…. less processed foods, more whole foods, less sugar, less salicylates, more omegas and no more colourings…
