It has been a truly amazing experience and has opened many doors for me that otherwise I would never have known about.

What you wrote is just lovely. Sometimes having an internet presence can rattle the nerves, especially to folks like me who have not grown up on social media. But exactly to your point, it can also bring positivity and likeminded folks to your life - and those are good things, whether through the internet or in person. As I ponder my feelings of continuing my presence, and if blogging is on its way out or to stay, it is great to read your words. Yay for you! I think sharing experiences is one of the best parts of blogging and it is exciting when you connect those experiences with other people. In the early days of blogging, one blogger gave me advice on buying a bike, and in turn I advised another blogger on the same. It's neat to find someone out there who is into exactly what you are and share experiences.my hyggelighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18419682239783674156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892532200449973847.post-78535204690799812172013-03-26T20:31:18.658-07:002013-03-26T20:31:18.658-07:00Thank you, Alex!

I've never met you or your family (although I think I've seen Chris out and about a few times) but would be sure to say hi if I saw you on the bike lanes or at a Caps game. <br /><br />Also, I love the blog. My wife and I don't have kids but I find what you're sharing inspiring. It's uplifting to know that I wouldn't have to give up my car-free lifestyle just because a little munchkin came along. <br /><br />It takes courage to put yourself out there, especially when you're doing something that isn't 'the norm,' but it's stuff like this that changes norms for the better. Thanks!<br /><br />-Alex EtchellAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190449691919577324noreply@blogger.com
