1,000 Posts Later
I truly can't believe that I would have 1,000 things to even talk about, let alone write entire entries on. Today I celebrate my 1K of posting on this little blog of mine. What a proud moment!
Please come out of lurking and tell me what you would like me to post about for my next 1K of posts. What on here has made your life better or easier? What do you want to see more of? What can I do to make your reading experience better?
If you just post to say hello (and have never done it but read me regularly), it would truly make my day too. I work really hard to be creative on here and would love to say hi to each of you!

"Congrats on 1K posts! Your site is great, I look forward to lots more!
You know what I'd love is if you brought your full feed back so I can read you in my reader and don't have to click over every time."

"Wow, congratulations and keep up the good work!
I love posts on how to be kind to the environment. I know you're really good at this, and I'd like to hear more. Your recipes are always good, too!"

"Remodelingthislife: I know it stinks to click over, I apologize. It is for our web traffic and so I can make money to pay our bills. I hope you understand and will still click :( When we do partials, I lose grocery money and my grocery dollars are hurting right now ;)
Mrs. Mordecai- I love to talk about being kind to the environment, I can definitely do more on that!!"

"Congrats! I love checking your site each day!
As a fellow Indiana mommy of a preschool boy and a 2-yr old girl, I LOVE reading about ideas you come up with for creative ways to entertain your kiddos. I've gotten some fun ideas from you in the past!
Also, not to get too personal, but I think it would be wonderful to have some tips on how you stay connected with your husband and nurture that relationship too. I think that can be difficult with two young children...
Thanks for all you do, each and every day! You bring a little sunshine to my little world. : )"

Congratulations!!"

"Congratulations on your 1k post milestone! That's awesome!
I always enjoy your articles, but particularly the ones centered around kid's activities. I frequently refer back to the suitcase post and the reward system posts in my own life, and I refer my blog readers there as well. Keep up the great work!"
"I can certainly believe you'd have at LEAST 1,000 things to talk about....you are a wealth of invaluable information, girl! Congrats on your success!
Gotta say, I love the recipes. I think the recipe file on my computer is full of nothing but Amy recipes!"
Cocoa
"Wow 1K! That's amazing! I really enjoy reading the freebie Fridays and your notebook."

"Amy!
Congratulations! My 1000th post will be this coming Monday! I was just telling David about it last night - he said it has to be something special, but I haven't figured out what yet!
I am a big fan of Amy's Notebook - you always have so many goodies in there and I love the links to spots I would not have otherwise discovered!
Just keep being you! Love you - Monica"
Jaime
"Hi Amy! I'm a pretty new reader, but really love your recipes. You've inspired me to shop at ALDI, and I'm finding it much easier to stay within my grocery budget. Congrats on your 1000th post."
Stephanie
"Amy,
1000 posts, WOW~! What a milestone!
I love that your posts are honest and real! Just keep it coming! :)
BTW - I thought you and I were in the "non-crafter" club together! And now you are knitting?! I feel so left out! :) (Spoken purely through jealously!) Way to go!"
Amy
"Stephanie: Hee hee, Ok-I promise I have not abandoned you. Did you see, I was knitting incorrectly :)?? I promise to continue on my struggling one step at a time in my craftiness way :) I am horrible.
Thanks everyone, I am so enjoying your replies. I am having a hard day with a kid with pink eye and one with a cold. Soooo needing this boost :)"
"Congrats Amy!
I enjoy your notebook and your ideas on child friendly activities (I see a theme here!) I also would love to see some more posts on frugal clothing ideas for kids and dealing with picky eaters and tantrums...my daughter is just entering those "phases"!
Any update on when your forum might be back up?
Love your site!"

Amy
"Stephanie- We are hoping to get the forum back up next week. STILL WAITING on the web host. GRRRRR...I am not happy about that right now.
Well, I am working on a new feature to go along with our notebook and debuting it tomorrow. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!!"
"Hi! I have been a lurker so to say on your website for quite a while and I LOVE everything you post!!! You have so much information to give out and I haven't found any of it invaluable to me. Thanks so much and congrats on 1,000 posts!"

Congrats on the thousand posts, can't wait to see more!"

"Congrats Amy! Love it all - the great recipes, Amy's notebook and of course Freebie Friday. :)
I'd love to see more on going green, more of your great recipes, kid crafts, and gift ideas.
I loved your post on Mom groups. Because of you I am very involved in my MOPS group. Thanks for all that you do!

"Hi, Amy -
I recently came to your blog through your Freebie Fridays, but I am enjoying all of your entries. I just started my own blog, so you and others who are up and running are an inspiration. I have only been here a short time, but the whole knitting (Amy Purl) was hilarious, and something I would do, too! Thanks for sharing!"

"I just found you site about a month ago and I'm loving it. Above all I love hearing about what easy and inexpensive things you're doing with your kiddos. I'd like to hear more about that. I'm trying to stay within my budget this summer and still have fun with the kids."
"Congrats Amy. I love your blog and read it daily. I'd love to see more recipes (I'm a recipe junky) and I love the notebook as well.
Thanks for all you do!

"I'd love more healthy, kid friendly recipes. And, I'm lovin' the Wednesday Redbox code since that's our grocery day and my son always asks for a movie from the Redbox at the store. Thanks and congrats on 1000posts."

"1,000 posts? UNbelievable! You truly are a wealth of information, Amy. You have been educating and inspiring others for a while now. We thank you so much for sharing any and every thing worth sharing. We really do benefit from it and are very grateful to you!!"
Richelle
"Congratulations!
I love all your posts, but I especially love the freebies!"
"I love all your great ideas! Congratulations!
I read you everyday and enjoy your time on the local TV. Activities with your children ie the Rainy Day suitcase is a wonderful read for me. Also the redbox codes! Information on Aldi has been great too!"
"What a wonderful accomplishment! I have commented a few times, but am a regular reader, and I absolutely love your site!!
I really like your posts on time management. It would be great to learn more about how you organize your day/week/month (cleaning, time with kids, etc.). I have a hard time finding balance, especially now that we have learned my youngest is a bit behind and we really need to work hard to get him caught up developmentally.
Keep up the good work!"
Heidi
"Congrats! I love your blog, it's one of my favorites. I really enjoyed your spring cleaning series and can't wait for when you have more time to finish that. I also enjoy your recipes and information on how to be more green.
I would love more information on how you stay in your grocery budget and how you are dealing with the increased gas prices and how they are affecting your budget. I also would like to know more about how you budget and were able to get out of debt. Thanks for all of your hard work, keep it up!"
Mandy
"Congrats on your posts! I read this blog daily."

Just when I think I've run out of cool things to check out online, you go and find some more!

Hello, I'm Sally.
"Wow! And Congratulations! I'm totally enjoying your site. I have really enjoyed the thought provoking posts on time management and what's going on in the world. I also get a kick out of the kid stuff and the humanizing posts! I'm on the West Coast, so I'm still trying to figure out what Aldi is! The notebooks are fun (that's how you found me!) and I'm always amazed by how much you can do! Thanks for everything, and here's to 1000 more!"
Marva
"Yay for you! Here's to 1K and 10K more! Many blessings on you sweet friend!!!!!"
"Yay Amy!!!
I love your blog...pretty much all of it :)
As I've e-mailed you the recipies have been a hit at our house, the advice is right on, the info on cloth diapering has been very helpful and it is just a great place to check in every day!
I have done some of the things you suggested and would still love some more info on baby things...recommended strollers and car seats especially. We are looking for the most affordable, safe, user friendly type out there.
Thanks so much and here's to many more posts!
Heather@pagesbyheather.com"
"Amy, I read you every day. Thanks for posting new stuff so frequently! I would love to see you do more with the Aldi Queen blog. I love the menu planners and lots of the recipes. Plus I really like anything you write on being frugal creatively.
Thanks! Congrats!

"Oh, and I love your notebook entries too! Look forward to them every week.
