For anyone who is not connected to some area of the blog world, this may not mean much. For me, I am closing a chapter that has been a very important part of my life for over FIVE years, starting with my first post called "Mac and PC Enter Blogworld" on 2/26/2008. I wrote that post without anyone "listening" and it grew to become a place I love and cherish so much that you were the second, right after PC, to know that LB was on his way. The cheers and tears for us at that moment through comments here made this much more than a place to write thoughts, it became a source of love and strength.
I am sad but I know it's the right time. Recently, a new door opened for us. I got a new job. A job that has been a dream of mine for years. I have a precious toddler and I happen to be very fond of his dad:] Another dream come true. In giving my best to both worlds, I have to let some things go and the blog is one area that I feel will inevitably get lost in the mix. In some ways, it already has and I feel bad about that... so I would rather close this part of our story as we live out the next.
I look forward to reflection and making sure I say everything I want/need to in these final posts...
what a journey this has been.

Totally understand but it makes me sad :-(
I read over all my old posts the other day - thanks for being there for me back when our babies were just dreams :)
Xoxo
O,no! I'm going to miss you guys! I've really enjoyed your blog, but I know we all eventually move on. Just the other day I realized that a lot of the blogs I'm following are slowly but surely all closing down...
Like the others, I of course, completely understand that this is the best decision for you, but know that we will all miss you so much! I know you haven't been writing much lately anyway but seeing one of your posts in my reader always put a smile on my face, knowing you were still around! Of course, you are still around out there in the real world ;) Wishing you all the very very best with everything and a huge congrats on your new job. What wonderful news!! Hugs!
Also going to miss you! Your story gave me such hope when we were in the midst of our IVF cycle and had a less than expected response. Wishing you the very best in the years to come.
You will definitely be missed! But I can't say I blame you. I have been mulling over the same question myself these days. I've been enjoying keeping up with some blog buddies on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. If you're interested, email me and I'll let you know how to find me. It's much less pressure and still so fun to see what everyone is up to. Looking forward to your parting thoughts!
Awh, I'm going to miss your updates around here! If you're cool with it, I'd love to connect in "real life" via FB or something. Let me know. :) I get it if you don't want to mix internet friends with real life though. :)
I'm sad to read this news, but like many others have said, it seems like people just know when it is their time to move on from the blog world. Thanks for thinking enough of writing out some final posts for all of your readers, I know we will enjoy hearing what you've been up to. Same with Josey - I've enjoyed following those on FB who have moved on from their blogs if you are open to that.
Oh Mac, I'm going to cry! You were one of the first blogs I connected with and I will miss you so much. Let me know if you'd like to email or FB to stay in touch!
