A Hello and a Request!

I recently received one of the nicest emails from a reader (Hello Gena!!), who doesn’t blog, but reads this blog from work. I was really touched that she took the time to write, especially as I am not some world famous blogging author, just a pagan mom who needs a little “me” time.

Also, after yesterday’s post about Vixen, I had several “lurker” type readers contact me about helping. How cool that they’d come out of their lurkerdom to do that?

Both those things started me thinking about those people out there who read the blog, but don’t post. I’d love to know more about who’s really reading my blog.

So here is my request today: if you are reading this, and haven’t ever posted, post today and let me know who you are, where you’re from, and what your favorite part of the blog is. If you don’t/can’t post, shoot me an email at mrsbbradley (at) gmail (DOT) com (take that, spam bots!).

Also, if you are a blogger who follows my blog, but I’ve never commented on your blog, leave me a message with a link to your blog!

And if you haven’t turned on the ability to “follow” on your blog, good heavens, turn that sucker on! I read blogs through my Blogger Dashboard, and if I can’t follow your blog, sometimes I loose track of you (I can only keep so many things organized. If I try to keep track of everyone’s blogs without the “follow” feature, I’d probably misplace a kid).

If you turn your follow feature on, let me know, and I will come follow you!

And to just add a little interest to the pot, if you post (or email) to this post today, I will throw in another entry to this week’s giveaway for you!

So get posting!

  1. Hi. I am Morgan from Denver, Colorado. I must admit that I started to follow your blog because I was curious about what your cats were up to. I blog about Golden Dawn (and occasionally other topics, including my own cats) at:http://gleamingsfromthedawn.blogspot.com/

    You already comment on my blog and keep me company on twitter. Not much more I could ask for! Lol. Also, my name is still Danni and I still live in North Jersey. :D

    I'm a married pagan SAHM in my mid-twenties. I'm located in Colorado as well, a new transplant from Connecticut, so that's two things in common with people who've already posted. ;) I know you've visited my blog at least once to leave me a message about canning! I love your blog because it was one of the first I found that fits into the same niche I am interested in – pagan homemaking, and such and such.

  9. Hi! I'm Heather from Florida. I can't remember exactly what I was doing when I traipsed across your blog, but I am pretty sure it had something to do with finding other pagan parents. :)

  10. Diane says:

    i'm Diane from Detroit, Michigan. i just recently started following your blog so i'm not sure what my favorite part is just yet. but i immediately got the vibe that you are one cool lady!! and i'm looking forward to getting to know you through your blog!

  11. Hi! I'm Kristina, and I emailed you recently about a set of books I thought you'd like. I've been following your blog for a while. I an new to my practice of Wicca, and I was researching online when I happened to stumble upon you, and I've been back pretty much every day since. I'm in Spokane, WA. I have a little boy who just turned 4. I have been dabbling with a blog for a while, but have not had anyone really reading it, so if someone actually did, I'd be tickled pink! You can find me here:http://domesticatedgyspy.blogspot.com/Thanks for being so inspiring and fabulous! And such a loyal, and dear friend to your friends. XXOO

    Hi, I'm Devenir from Surrey, BC, Canada. I don't have a blog myself, but follow many through the RSS feature. I started reading your blog about 6 months ago, because I'm literally a pagan soccer mom, with 2 kids. Its great to see how another mom finds the balance. I also really like how crafty you are.

  13. Devenir says:

    Oh comment 2 – as I had to fix kid drama (the remote wasn't working ;-) … While I don't have a blog, I am an active member in Order of Scathach http://www.dunscathach.com/ . If you wanted to check out what we do. Be well Devenir

    Hello!! I'm Jackie aka JackiesMagic.. I've followed you for a while now. And you comment often on my blog! I love your aprons and recipes! I've long considered buying and collecting aprons. You're a cool & unique and FUN mom! That's why I follow!

  15. Not Hannah says:

    Howdy. I'm Heather from Georgia. I dig your blog because pagan moms with special needs kids are hard to find around here. I used to blog as Venus in the Kitchen, but found it too hard to keep up with at the time. You were always so supportive over there…I really appreciated it!Oh, my word verification is "abled." I love the Universe sometimes!

  16. Katee-Leigh says:

    Hey :) I'm Katee, and I'm from Coquitlam, BC, Canada. I came across your blog once at random, and I follow your blog because I find your love for aprons and your kitties and your little giveaways to be absolutely fascinating :) And you seem like a very caring person. It's sweet. :)

    Hello Mrs.B,I am a wife of a military man! I am a mom of a beautiful 3 year old.I am a daughter, sister, friend and a fellow pagan! I was searching for a site for pagan parents with children with special needs and I found your blog, I have been reading it faithfully, ever since. I am from ME. Currently living in Va.Thanks for having coffee with me every morning!~Misty

  18. Tiffany says:

    Hi, I'm Tiffany from Minnesota. I found your blog whist link hopping from other pagan blogs and just fell in love with how sweet you are and those recipes. Yum! I wanted to thank you for being one of the few followers of my own blog http://diaryofanaturalwitch.blogspot.com/

  19. Carlene says:

    Good Morning Mrs. B.,I delurked to participate in your 31 days of Halloween, but other than that, I don't usually comment. I come from Washington, originally from Idaho and found you looking for a good pagan blog to follow. My kids all have four feet and fur, so of course I always look forward to a Tanner sighting. But I think the main reason I check in with you daily is because you've created a cozy, friendly place to visit. And I love that you share spells, recipes, and other fun stuff. So, with that said, have a great Tuesday, and hey, Where the heck is Tanner? :)

  20. Hi I am Michelle The Pink Haired Momma from Texas! You already follow my blog! I LOVE your blog. Your posts are always entertaining and informative!!

  21. Cassandra says:

    Hi I'm Cassandra from Saint Augustine, FL the nation's oldest city :) I read your blog almost every day, it's the only blog I read actually! I like it because it makes me aware I'm not actually alone on the pagan parenting bus. I originally found the blog looking for idea on how to vaguely introduce my faith to my daughter.

  22. Mr. ? says:

    I'm Luke Sidewalker, I come to your blog for my daily dose of reality! I'm currently on a sidewalk near you! I blog about your money that I pick up off of the sidewalk. It has taken on a life of it's own! Enjoy…-Luke Sidewalker-Current balance $14.05http://www.lukesidewalker.blogspot.com/

  23. Hi, I'm Jamanda, I'm a lurker, and I'm also a pagan mom. I'm not really "out" about my faith, despite living in Boston where Pagans are pretty standard. My daughter is three and I read because it's a weird thing to be, a pagan and a mom, and I like to know that I have company. I have a blog, darksideofthemom.wordpress.com that I don't think you've ever commented on. I love your corner of the Web because you're so unbelievably kind.

  24. Samantha says:

    I'm Samantha from the sunny Okanagan in British Columbia, Canada.I can't remember how I found your blog, but I've been reading it for some time now. I love how it's funny and informative and always interesting. I'm still catching up on all the posts I've missed but recently just enjoyed all of your Tanner posts. What a neat cat!!

  25. Desiree says:

    Hi! I am Desiree in Illinois and I actually just recently found your blog. I am a pagan homeschooling SAHM to four kids. I love aprons, domesticity, and cats so I am in love with your blog so far!

  26. Pixie_Allen says:

    HiI'm Pixie and I'm from across the pond in the UK I've been following your blog for a while now and don't think I've ever left a message!I love visiting your blog as you always manage to make me smile, it's nice to know that there are others out there experiencing similar things and that your not completely alone in the world. I'm a mum of two little boys and wife to aa busy husband and together we run a plumbing and heating company, which is hard work as we have no daycare for the boys so I look after them myself during the day as well as run the office – which sounds madness but it weirdly works. You are already following my blogg but I haven't been on for a while 'me time'' is hard to come by in this house much the same as you I'm sure – pixieallen@blogspot.comLots of LovePixie xx

  27. Sara says:

    Hello! I'm Sara from Ohio and I love your blog! I am the mom of an 8 month old little girl and I own a virtual assistant business that I do out of my home. I love your blog because it's so much different than the blogs I normally read! I don't know many other Pagans in my area so I rely on the internet to help me learn stuff so finding a Pagan Mom who has a blog was awesome! : )

  28. Nikki says:

    I'm Nikki from Philadelphia… I stumbled across your blog recently while at work. Great idea about doing this, by the way. Makes me wonder if more than the 3 or 4 people that leave me comments actually read my blog! lol Check mine out if you ever got time. Nothing too snazzy. At least I don't think so.

  29. Skye says:

    Skye, from Connecticut but I'm moving to the Iowa/Nebraska border.I found your blog via Google, I think. I don't really remember. And I just love everything about your blog. All the cool things you post about (usually the stuff that you're giving away) and the fact that you're a "sane" pagan really caught me, though. It seems like a lot of pagans these days are way out there. You've already read my blog, but it doesn't stop me from being a lurker!Blessings, and great idea to have your readers leave a post about themselves!Skye

  30. Pam says:

    I have to admit that I don't KNOW if I have ever commented on your blog or not (yes, bad blogger/reader). I started reading because, like you, I am a Pagan mom… although I am a single parent and I share my children with my ex (so I get 2 weeks of concentrated kid-time and then 2 weeks of desolate loneliness) and I kinda wanted to know how other Pagan/Wiccan/Heathen parents get through it and maybe find other people to talk to. I'm a blogger, I blog about whatever comes into my brain… sometimes Pagany, sometimes just rambly… well… mostly just randomly rambling…you can find my blog at http://frozennowhere.com/

  31. Grammy says:

    How awesome is this. I love how so may have responded. I have always wondered who is reading too. I am your faithful reader. I love the one. I am your Mom. I love it.

  32. I found your blog recently. I follow because I'm also a pagan mom. It's just basketball here, not soccer ;) I'm working a blog and having fun with it alsohttp://faerielyoddwitches.blogspot.com/

  33. This Guy says:

    Ahhhh, I'm always here, I love stopping by to say hello ;) As always, your blog is amazing! :)

  34. Kensi says:

    Hi! I'm Kensi. I've been reading awhile… I live on the east coast and I'm a mother of five. My blog is fairly new, I've been talking about my life..how it started and where I am now…http://kensithenandnow.blogspot.com

  35. Divaeva says:

    <3 :)

  36. JennyMac says:

    I saw your blog on Mr. London Street and wanted to pop by. I was just reading emails this morning from people who read my blog and will send a note but don't comment so you raise a good question. What keeps people from commenting even though they will send an email?

  37. Dj says:

    Sorry, got a little behind in my blog reading. I'm Dj from Michigan. I think i got suggested to your blog from another pagan blog a while ago. I like tanner, and just your other random insights into life and parenting.
