Goals, Belly Bandits, and Books – Questions from Lanna

Author: Elizabeth

I asked my readers for helping thinking of what to post about, and they came through! I love you guys :) So, first up are questions from my dear, longtime reader and commenter Lanna (rhymes with banana LOL), who asked:

Did you figure out any goals for yourself for the year?
Do you know where I can find a Belly Bandit for really cheap?
What cute/sweet/whatever thing(s) have the boys done lately?
Wanna come help clean and pack my house since Braxton Hicks have started kicking my butt and the other kids keep wanting to be fed and paid attention to?
Favorite book you’re reading or recently read?

Wow! I’m never going to have to post about having writer’s block again, I’ll just email Lanna first! Here are some answers-

1. Goals for this year – Well, I’ve already started working on my first goal, which is to increase the number of legitimate comments I get on my posts. I am determined to help the Momblogging community rediscover commenting this year. There are SO MANY BLOGS, and only so much time each day to read them, and I know it’s hard to stop and comment. I’m going to figure out a way to not only increase the number of comments I get on this blog, but to help others increase the comments on theirs. I just have to figure out how :)

2. I had no idea what a Belly Bandit was! Turns out it’s a fabric wrap with velcro that goes around your midsection after you give birth to help hold your tummy in. They are $65.00 new! I found Lanna one for $24.95 on eBay and emailed her the link :)

3. The boys continue to be wonderful with their little sister, although Ryan is starting to be less interested in playing with her. Nathan likes to chase her around the house after dinner with her shrieking and giggling.  Kaitlyn recently started informing me that she is going to MARRY Nathan when she grows up, and there’s nothing I can tell her that will change her mind. Is that a girl thing? Neither of the boys talked about marrying anybody when they were four!

4. Oh sweetie, I totally would come there and help if I could. The state you live in is just so far away from Michigan!  I hope you get some help with your little ones so you can rest up before the baby comes!

5. Favorite book recently read – I discovered Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series this past Fall, and between checking the paperbacks out of the library and treating myself to new copies here and there, I just finished book #15.   Now I wish she would hurry up and write another book! If you haven’t read the series, I do recommend reading the books in order as much as possible. Any of the books would make sense if you hadn’t read any of the others, but there are little things that make more sense if you know what’s already happened.

If you have read the Stephanie Plum books, tell me this – is it just me, or from the descriptions of Ranger, doesn’t he look like Benjamin Bratt? At least that’s who I picture in my head ;)

Thanks for the questions, Lanna! I’ll tackle another set next time I get a chance, and feel free to keep asking questions in the comments!

  2. Love #1. I think so many of us are guilty of lurking/reading blogs with our readers. I know I do this and need to make more of an effort to comment on blogs that I always read, like yours. Comments really do make a person smile when they some in and I like to help anyway I can.

  3. Good luck with the commenting issue! See, I’m helping out just a teensy bit. ;)

    I think Joe Morelli is more Benjamin Bratt. Ranger is like….Mr. Clean! :) Don’t you just love Grandma Mazur? And Stephanie’s niece who thinks she’s a horse? And Joe’s dog that craps out her g-string on the front lawn? :) The good thing about Janet Evanovich is that she puts one out every June/July…right around my birthday so it’s always a perfect gift!

    #1, ironically, I comment more on other folks’ than I actually post on my own blog.

    #2, thank you, I emailed the person about a photo. I don’t do well with sight unseen with used things, I’m wacky that way. ;)

    #3, girls are completely different animals, that’s for sure. I’m still discovering this, and mine’s a fair bit younger than yours.

    I’m with you on the commenting thing, I’ve been guilty at times of not commenting enough. Fixing that is one of my main blog related goals as well. Getting comments on my own posts too – but that’s so hard to control!
