live your life.

One is as though

so wild and free,

Is the merriest sound

in the world to me."

the most room in your heart."

can wait 'til tomorrow.

we learn to our sorrow.

So quiet down cobwebs!

Dust, go to sleep!

I'm rocking my baby,

and babies don't keep!"

Jan. 11, 2009 - Sticky Post

This is a Sticky Post.  It will remain at the top for about a year.  This is not my current post, to see that keep going down to the next post.

.

I appreciate those of you who come by to visit me here and leave such sweet comments. 

I try to reciprocate when i can, however, our internet filter does not allow me to visit most other blog communities like blogspot or typepad.  They are blocked.  I appreciate how the filter protects my family and do not wish to change the settings on that.  I am sure i am missing out on some wonderful blogs out there, but for this time in our lives i need to keep that wall up to protect my young ones.

.

Thanks for coming by!

I can appreciate that your filter blocks some of the other blog sites. Most of them are horrible. Sure, there are some fancy features that make blogging a bit easier than HS blogger, but the community is far more negative! I'd never spend time viewing random sites on Blogspot. ;-)

Hi Lauren!

I answered Jenn on her blog. But to answer you here, we use True Vine Online for our internet filter. If you click on the underlined text above in the post where it says filter it should hyperlink over to TVO's main page.
