Peekaboo...I can't see you?

I've been considering doing this for a while but didn't want to go through the hassle of inviting readers to my blog.  However, in the next few weeks I will be turning my blog private.  The reason for this mostly stems from the fact that my children are showcased on the Internet, and I really have no idea who is reading about them.  There are a lot of topics and details I'd love to talk about on my blog, but I feel that I can't because I'm not sure who's found my blog website.  I'm flattered to have the response I've had, but I feel the need to monitor it. Since May 2009, I've had the following number of visits.

United States    16,999 France                     911 Canada                   368 Denmark                   36 Brazil                         28 Belgium                    12 Netherlands                8 Switzerland                 6 United Kingdom         5 Japan                          5

If you are interested in being invited as a reader of this blog, please either email me or use the "contact me" button on the top right by Thursday, August 18.  Beginning Friday, August 19, this blog will require account access to enter.  If I do not know you, and let's face it, there are many of you I don't know, please leave a reason as to why you want access. Those with access will receive an email invite on Aug. 19. 

Thanks for understanding!
