I want to start off by saying thank you. When I started this blog back in April, I really didn't think that anyone was going to read it, and if they did happen to read it, probably wouldn't be back. As of today, I have had over 2000 visitors and my blog has been viewed in 10 countries! I can't thank everyone enough for the words of praise and congratulations. Now, I am well aware that this blog isn't very big and I am not exactly going to quit my day job! I am just really appreciative of the support that I have gotten as I persue a hobby that I shelfed a long time ago.
Anyway
Again, I want to apologize for not answering the emails that were sent to my gmail account. As I said earlier, I had no idea my address was even visible! It turns out that you folks are a shy bunch, because the majority of the comments I get are through email and private facebook message. Please feel free to comment directly on the blog at any time! Don't be shy, you know you want to!
On to some questions
Why do you only blog about the happy things in your life?
You're right, not everything in my life is all sunshine and roses. I do tend to focus on the more joyful things in my days and leave anything more unhappy out. I am not trying to set the tone in my blog that I have a perfect life, but to be honest, it is pretty great. I have no real complaints, so I choose to leave those out. Also, sometimes things happening in my life involve other people, and I don't feel it is my place to share their story.
Are you going to have more kids?
The short answer is yes, we hope so. Right now it is something that we have to start discussing, but we are not planning on expanding right away! Abrielle is 8 months old and we are trying to soak up every minute with her as it is. Although, my niece did inform me the other day that Abby would like a brother AND sister. Yikes.
How did you pick Abrielle's name?
Tyler and I threw around baby names before we were even pregnant, and we knew that we wanted Abby for our first girl. I heard the name Abrielle years ago and had always kind of filed it away. I'm not going to lie, it took a little convincing to get Ty on board with that one, but eventually he came around (obviously). Her middle name, Sophia, was just one that we liked and we thought it flowed well.
I'll be honest, I LOVE her name. I call her Abrielle Sophia a lot when it is just the two of us. People tell me a lot that they love her name, and it makes me so happy. Of course, I do have to spell it, and correct people that it is not Arielle, Gabrielle, AYbrielle or anything of the like. That is expected though when you name your baby something different!
Yes, we have plans for the next little one/ones' name(s), but that is not something I am sharing on here just yet!
What do you buy for groceries as a vegan? What's in your fridge?
I've got to tell you, this is my favourite question! I took a picture.
As you can see, normal stuff! Soy milk, fruit, hummus, (there is an apple crisp and pasta salad in the two foil covered dishes) and a lot of veggies! There are obviously things in there for Tyler too, like sour cream, cheese and a bit of meat. Some of the containers are fruit purees for Abrielle. Nothing sprouting or molding!
Who did the picture of Abby on the header?
Jillian Hounsome of JillianClaire photography has done all of our pictures, from maternity to the new family pictures we will be getting done tomorrow (weather permitting!) Here is a link to her facebook group. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=hp#!/pages/JillianClaire-Photography/152447643538
So, that is enough for now. For some of you, I just answered your questions directly by email, so check that!
Thanks again for reading!
