By Invitation Only

For quite a while now, I've gone back and forth concerning making our blog private or keeping it public. I have decided to move towards making it a private, invitation-only blog. If I know you personally and would like to be on the "approved list of readers" for our blog, please leave your email address in the comments below. Your information will not be published. I read the comments before I publish them. If you are a friend of a friend that reads our blog, tell me about that connection as well. I REALLY hope you continue to check in on us and not let the password entry keep you from stopping by. We love sharing our everyday life with you, especially those of you we don't get to see often. You will sign in using your email ID, so it should be easy-peasy to remember.

Thanks!

We've met a couple of times I think..my husband, Kerry and I both went to North Georgia and Kerry was a Sig O with Richie. I was a Phi Mu. I have enjoyed following you and your girls over the last few months! Thank you for sharing! Kristin Wilson

Hi! My name is Meredith Yoder and I graduated from Southeastern in 2006. I can't remember if I found your blog through Travis and Stephanie Armstrong, Casey Chappel or someone else. I attended Open Door while we lived in Wake Forest. I also have two little girls, Reese (3) and Caroline (1) and I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog. It's always encouraging to read about other stay at home Moms and their daily life. I also enjoy the Prayer of Hannah blog. All this to say, I would love to continue to read your blog! My email address is ufyoder@yahoo.com. Thanks! Meredith

Hi Hollie--I am a college friend of Leah Payne's and I enjoy reading your blog. {I'm an avid POH follower as well.} I'd love to be able to continue to follow your blog, but I completely understand if you've reached your max invite list with personal friends and family.
God bless!

I want to read! ;) emilylourcey@gmail.com

Also, I've been hearing about an italian night our families are supposed to have. Have you? I'm supposed to be making calzone and you're supposed to be making a pizza. If you don't have plans already for tomorrow night we can get together then. You can come here or we can go there. Whatever's easiest. If not tomorrow, we can plan for a night in the next few weeks?

I came across your blog through POH & the Hartzogs...

I am considering password protecting our blog as well - but, I am on the fence...Do you mind me asking what was it that made you go password protected?

Brooke said...

Hollie...please let me keep reading your blog! I love hearing all about your precious family and all your fun adventures. :-)

Hi Hollie,

You do not know me, but I found your blog through Jenny Riddle's blog. I have been friends with Jenny and her family for many years as I used to attend Northlake Baptist church with them in the 90s.
I've been reading your blog for awhile now and found Prayer of Hannah because of your blog. I love Prayer of Hannah and have found a lot of helpful information on there. I would love to keep reading your blog, but understand the privacy issues. I have been enjoying reading about Mattie and watching her grow as I have a 4 month old little girl. My blog is www.treyandcheri.blogspot.com if you'd like to read about our family.

Hollie,
I'm a friend of a friend. I believe you or Hugh went to school with my friend Sheryl Nelken's husband, Eric. She told me about your blog about 2 years ago and I've enjoyed reading it ever since! I also read Prayer of Hannah.
I totally understand moving it toward a private blog, but I would like to be able to keep reading it, if you don't mind!

My email is amanda0924@hotmail.com
thanks

Hey! I fall into the "friend of a friend" category! I'm friends with Anthony and Jackie Rosolowski (I went to Liberty with them) and found your blog through theirs. My email is meribeth@gmail.com. My son is a year younger than Laney and my daughter is a couple months younger than Mattie and it's been fun to read about your family!

Hi Hollie, My name is Sarah Armstrong. I'm Leah Payne's cousin and a regular reader of Prayer of Hannah. I live in Raleigh. I love to check in on your blog because it gives me such good ideas for my own daughter (15 months old) and her soon-to-be born brother (3 weeks until his due date!). If you end up extending the blog to friends-of-friends, I'd love to be included. But no hurt feelings if not -- got to protect your kiddos, I totally understand!!

Oh, I don't know if you could see my email address or not in the comment I just left. sarah.armstrong10@gmail.com

hi stranger =) i am a friend of meagan delong's and i am also a poh blog reader. i have followed (strangely enough) your blog for a while now and would love to continue, if thats OK! i have loved watching your sweet girls grow and i have learned so much from watching/reading up on other christian moms and how they do things in their home. POH has been SUCH a blessing to me over the past couple of years and i have shared the site with so many of my momma friends. just wanted to let you know that i would miss not seeing those sweet babies every once in a while - if only online =)

Hi Hollie,
I had emailed you once with a nursing question when my daughter was born. I am friends with some of your NGCSU friends. Your girls are so cute. I had a c-section with my daughter and am interested in hearing/reading about your VBAC experience so I have been checking in.
