Going Private

I started this blog back when I was pregnant and in the hospital on bed rest. It was meant as a way to share updates with our friends and family and document our journey in becoming parents of triplets. After the kids were born, I kept blogging to document the trials, tribulations, and milestones of the kids' first years. In a way, the blog became their 'baby book' and I intend to have it printed and bound for each of them so that they can look back and see what life was like, all the ups and downs included, during their early years.

When I first started writing this blog, it did not occur to me that so many people, strangers included, would read about our family. While most are genuinely interested in our family and are truly supportive, it has been made clear that there are some that read our blog with a different agenda. There are some that judge, criticize, and try to make us feel bad about the job we are doing as parents.

I had been juggling with the idea of making our blog private just for safety reasons. You really never know what kind of people are reading and what their agenda really is. Recently an 'anonymous' reader left me a mean-spirited comment about a choice I made as a parent, which hurt me very badly. This helped solidify for me that it's time to turn the blog to private. I do not write this blog to be judged as a parent or criticized, so I will no longer allow 'anonymous' people to follow along as I document our journey.

I pride myself on the mother that I am. I know that I am doing the best job I can at raising my kids. Anyone who's raised children should know how difficult it is, especially when you have three that are the exact same age. There are good days, and there are bad. There are days when you are not on top of your game. There are days when mistakes are made, accidents happen and you beat yourself up over it. But when all is said and done, I know that I am doing all that I can to ensure my kids are healthy, safe, happy and know that they are loved.

This blog is sacred to us. I have poured a lot of love into creating it for our kids. We enjoy looking back at everything we have been through and all that has changed in our lives over the past several years. Our families and friends cherish the updates about the kids. So all future posts on this blog will only be open to readers who wish to be supportive and genuinely care about the well-being of our children.
