I was talking with my mom the other day and she asked me if I had ever 'googled' myself....WHAT??  "googled myself??"  I asked!!  (rolling off the couch laughing).

"yeah...put your name into 'google' and see where you come up!"  sooo...being the brave adventurer that I am, I try this....and guess what!......my name and link came up right away! my only claim to fame, my blog!  from the HOMESCHOOLER BLOGGER! 

at first i got a tickle out of this 'googling myself'...but after a second thought, i realized something....'gee....people i don't even know will know my deepest thoughts...'....based entirely on my blog.  i felt kinda 'exposed'...ya know?  i mean, seriously...what was i thinking??? like THAT wouldn't happen?

suddenly, i started realizing that i had exposed not only some of my deepest thoughts (meant only for my fellow kindreds on the homeschool blogger), but total strangers in cyberspace!  the names and ages of my kids are on here!!! OH  MY  GOSH!

so I decide to edit all info that I have written on my kids and even my profile today---just to be on the safe side! when you see the 'safe code' it will look something this:

1.B.12

this would mean firstborn, boy, age 12

for more info....visit  DandelionSeeds and link to her 'SAFE CODE' blog. she has some really good info on how we can keep our family safe from any potential harm out there!

blessings!

did you put your first and last name in? or just your first name? and yes, i guess it is a little disconcerting knowing that all manner of lunatics can get a glimpse into our homes....
