Personal & Life Updates

How’d You Find My Blog?

Filed Under: Personal & Life Updates 11 Comments

It’s been a while since I’ve shared some fun search terms that led folks to my blog. The majority of search terms are boring versions of my blog title or ‘shampoo free’, so the quirky phrases are fun. Tell me, did any of YOU find my blog this way?

out little apartmnet ashley’s last name – I’m not going to tell you.

“motivational blogs” – Now that’s something I’ve never been accused of.

hogwarts student – I once was a Hogwarts student.

best cloth diaper for apartments – I wasn’t aware apartments necessitated different cloth diapering needs. We use mostly Fuzzibunz, these covers, and these prefolds, though. I swear by this liner and this diaper sprayer (I know. It’s expensive. SO WORTH IT, though. Pinky swear).

can taking a pacifier away so abruptly cause emotional problems – I think it can cause crying problems which might lead to emotional problems for the parent. Not sure, since Gabe weaned himself from his beloved pacifiers around eleven months and then encouraged other babies to kick the habit.

cute things to make using diapers – Uh, like with old, worn-out cloth diapers? I use them for rags, which isn’t very cute.

eleventh week when will tummy pop? – Eat more Lucky Charms and frozen yogurt.

hermione halloween little sister diapers story – I…what?

sad that we are raising our baby in an apt – Oh, I am sad that you are sad! Living an apartment can be wonderful for your baby. I bet you’ll look back on this time with fondness. Don’t feel as though living in an apartment is any less adult or legitimate than living in a house. For more happy thoughts, check out my post about why we live in an apartment and my guest post about raising a child in an apartment.

working at starbucks with a baby at home – Is a great idea. Every new mom needs more caffeine and Starbucks was a great, flexible job that allowed me to quit my full-time job and still earn some money. Highly recommend.

going on a trip too excited to sleep – I’m a big fan of Googling what’s on my mind, too. Recently I Googled “I hate FedEx” in a fit of frustration and found tons of stories that made me feel validated. Healthy, right? This person proceeded to spend half an hour on my blog. I hope it helped bore you to sleep. And that you had a great trip!

your writing is very good, i like it very much, i will continue to focus on your oh blog. thank you – Hey, thanks. Wait. Are you Googling spam?

    OK, get out of my head because I literally have a draft post I’m working on now with my Google search terms!!! Haha.

    And I don’t know why someone is sad they’re raising their kid in an apartment. If we didn’t have to buy a house now for personal reasons, we’d be in our apartment for at least another 5 years. And I grew up in an apartment, as did many of my friends. We all came out ok! (Well, that’s debatable.) :)

    My favorite search terms that have landed people at my blog are “pregnant grandma” and “rosemary ninja pizza”

    You might be amused to know that I found your blog after googling “the female obsession with Ira Glass.”
