So here in blogland this week is officially deemed National Delurking Week, a time for people who peruse blogs, but never comment, to make themselves known. Last year I delurked on one of my favourite blogs and it was such a great experience because I got to connect with the author (hi, Leah!) and I think she’s just swell. She even sent my baby a present!
So come on, all you lurkers! Please say hello. Good things could happen.

Hi Amanda, just delurking to say “hi!” I found you from Kristen of Tallnlucky awesomeness….and let me say I’m so glad I did! (Um, most especially for the cinnamon buns recipe! he!)
Hi Amanda! I’m pretty sure I’ve commented before, but I’ll say hi again just to make sure! Love reading you, you crack me up!
Hi Amanda,
My name is Lisa, and I actually went to college with Christy’s sister Becky. I check your blog almost everyday because your so down to earth and have such a great sense of humour! I continue to look forward to your posts!!

Hi Amanda,
I’ve been reading your blog for a while now – I’m one of Karen’s 30+ cousins (and I also know Angella from way back), so I followed the link from there a very long time ago. I’ve long since made you a favorite because you make me laugh and Avelyn is just so darn cute, but this is my first comment! Shameful, I know. Anyway, love your writing and observations. Thanks for sharing.
I am #54, wow! You already know I read your blog. Looks like I am not alone.
Hi Amanda,
Yours was my first experience as a blog lurker! It’s fun to read and I always get a kick out of it! Avelyn is a doll! Heidi F
Hi.
Wow…look at all your comments…I bet you didn’t know that you had so many lurkers, and I am one too. I came across your blog a while back when I was searching for information on midwives in the okanagan and you had made a post on the topic. I love reading your blog, you have an awesome sense of humour and the pics Avelyn are super cute!
Keep up the great writing.
Hi Amanda,
I have to admit Brad and i love reading your blog.. You crack us both up. Your humor is awesome. Keep the stories coming. I think my favorite yet was the tooth brush story! I love seeing pictures of Avelyn, she is adorbale!
Sorry I didn’t mean to leave an anonymous comment!
Luv,
Samantha:)
I’m another new mom who found your blog through a chain of other blogs. I love reading about your experiences with Avelyn–I can relate to pretty much everything (though I have a little boy).
Delurking to say hello from London. Like your work.
Hi Amanda, I am Andy Wouda’s girlfriend so came accross your blog through him and I enjoy checking it out. Last Spring when I first visited Summerland with him I was hoping to meet you in person after reading your posts (kinda like meeting a celebrity you’ve only seen on T.V.) I did get to meet Steve and Rolo though. Maybe next time I’m there we can say Hi in person but for now I’ll (finally) say it here.
Hi! I have no clue how I found your site now but I have to look everyday (that my silly computer is working) to see if you’ve updated. I do remember that I started lurking before your beautiful baby was born. when I found your site, I was so enthralled that I stayed up late before a trial (I’m a paralegal) to read some of your stuff. Don’t worry I won’t be stalking your neighborhood, I’m in Missouri.
I’ve delurked before, but hello again!
Absolutely fabulous! If you’re ever havin’ a bad day just play a few seconds of that little laugh! Avelyn is just such a little dolly.
Oops, wrong post.
I’m Abbey Kehler’s sister, and I just love reading your blog. I’ll admit you’re on my usually rounds. The way you express your life moments is so unique and entertaining…never stop, it’s great fun!
Hiya Amanda, I actually found your blog through Leah around the time that Avelyn was born [you know when she was going through that “I need a baby” phase ;) and announcing births left and right!? – Hi Leah as well although you don’t me! :(].
You have one gorgeous baby and really house work, pfftt!
I guess that technically, I am not a lurker, but I wanted to make the comments an even 70.
:)
Creeeeeeek….can you hear that closet door opening? Well, I guess the lurker closet wasn’t pryed open so much as blown open. People came running out like the farts in there smelled like two-week old egg salad.
I do love your blog and don’t tell you nearly enough. I know we don’t KNOW know eachother but these blog things have a handy way of teaching you a lot about a person.
Blessings, Shareen
I’ve de-lurked before, but I’m back to say that video you just posted is SO cute and SO funny.
Well done, well done.
I am a virgin delurker so bear with me. We went to Capes together, but never really talked because you where in the lodge and I was all the way up in the cabins in the woods. I lurk on a lot of the same sites you do. Some of them I know, and some of them I don’t, but I feel like I do. I have been dangerously flirting with the idea of starting my own. I don’t have kids but I do have gross nursing stories. Whaddoya think – should I go for it?
I thought I’d bump you up to 74, I lurk but never seem to have the energy to comment, you’ve seen how lame my blog is
Wow, nice work on getting people to de-lurk. I comment all the time but I’m commenting anyways!!
Well, my sweet husband and I both pop in on occasion to read of your antics Amanda. You really are a good writer.
Thanks for your honesty and humour!
Wow thats alot of comments! Yes I read your blog, linked through Kaili. I may have commented before though, or maybe just thought about it. I also secretly read Jen and Angellas blogs from time to time. Im very jealous of all the summerland mamas, one day I hope to move there and join you and Kaili for walks :)
hi my name is angela, i read your blog almost everyday i find it so funny, i love your writing style. I found your blog cause you went to school with my fiance chris, and he would tell me about how your dog and my cat have the same unique name!
I can’t believe you got 78 comments. I like reading your blog, and enjoy seeing how big your little girls is getting. Take care.
Hi Amanda,Missed seeing you every monday at SBC,so love to catch up on your fun days with Avelyn (they are priceless days! you probably hear that ten times a day from all us old Moms),I’ve delurked! Blessings on ya’ll.PS:Loved the movie :)
hi amanda
Does “delurking” count if you have commented only a few times?
If so, count me in (again) as a delurker!!
Delurking from England. I found your blog through the chain: Suburban Bliss-Secret Agent Josephine- Whoorl-you. Everyone is having babies!
