I am beginning to seriously consider making alittlelessordinary.com a private blog and only allow friends and family access. There are some very exciting things happening very soon (it’s a secret at this point) and Preston and I want to document the entire… process… but we don’t want everyone to know every last little detail.
It’s not just things that are coming up, I’ve been feeling like this for a while. I used to like having a blog and letting everyone and their mama know what’s going on, but it has become more of a… what’s the right word… I don’t know. I just feel like it’s less of a personal outlet and more of an obligation. I don’t feel like I can say whatever I want because I know there is always someone here waiting to “catch” something that I say and make a big deal out of nothing. “You know who” still comes here very frequently and it’s just… well it’s a lot of things… but “weird” seems like the safest word to call it at this moment. And by the way, this has nothing to do with the racist thing. That’s just silly.
I still want to enjoy the income I get from the blog because it is a nice little bit of spending money every month, so I don’t know what I’ll do about that. Maybe a new domain?
So, who knows. While I decide what to do, check out these term life insurance quotes! 
And I am working on a new theme. That’s always fun.
p.s. I did a new post over at My Little Review tonight. I haven’t had much time for extra blogging lately but I’m going to try to get that blog going, hopefully.

Hey Sarah! I have been reading your blog for years.. ever since Insydious, if not before that [I can't remember the order of your sites.. I just remember being AMAZED at your graphics and loving to read your blogs] And I just recently found it the other day, and now it’s gonna be private
I hope not, but I understand why if you do.
I was wondering what hosting company you use and all. I’m thinking of getting a domain, and I know you’ve had several over the years, so I wanted to see what you thought, if possible. I understand that you’re busy though, so if you can’t answer, that’s cool too. Thanks! Have a wonderful day

Hi Lynn!
I would allow long time visitors access, so no worries! My husband and I have our own servers so my blog is hosted there. We can host your blog on our servers for a small fee if you are interested. Just email me! 
June 23rd, 2008 09:45 pm
Aww, I’d miss your site… It’s one of my fave blogs, your entries are always so interesting/fun to read! But I totally understand your need for privacy, too
June 23rd, 2008 10:57 pm
Oh my goodness that would seriously suck! I have been reading your blog since insydious too! We’re also friends on myspace. =D
However, I do not blame you for wanting to go private.. people that can’t just move on bug the crap out of me. So immature..
Keep me in the loop girlie!
June 23rd, 2008 11:14 pm
Maybe yourself and Preston could create a new blog you both post at? A blog that has more limited access, and you can feel like writing without being censored. Then you could have this domain for less personal stuff.
June 23rd, 2008 11:32 pm
No worries, all of the visitors that I can confirm identities on would have access, meaning all the regulars, etc.
June 23rd, 2008 11:58 pm
oh no please don’t go away, i look forward to your posts and I get a lot of insight from you
I think your posts are GREAT and your little family is amazing 
So I hope you do not go away, and I like the blog updates about the boutique, i ordered 2 times and my friends and niece LOVE the bows. Keep it up but do what is best for your family, I just hope I still get to come 
June 24th, 2008 02:01 am
Well, I’m glad to read the regular long time visitors would have access!!
I really can’t blame you though. I know that text is sometimes hard to interpret the way people really mean things, but it feels like sometimes they purposely want to say you meant something else just to get on your case about it. It’s your blog and you shouldn’t have to feel like you are walking on egg shells with every post you make. You should be able to just post freely and not have to worry!
June 24th, 2008 03:49 am
Well…I do see your link on a lot of blogs and you’re popular… So, if you wanted more privacy that’s completely understandable.
I’ve found out that the wp-ban plugin is great if you don’t want a certain person visiting your site. Unless they were crazy enough to use an anonymous proxy.
I wish I could make some decent cash with my blog. :/
June 24th, 2008 06:31 am
totally get what you are saying hun. It’s all about privacy.
June 24th, 2008 06:55 am
mh. i followed your blog since you were like 17
and i so loved to read you entries, but it’s ok if you decide to make it private. i’d understand =)
it’s not always easy to have such a pulic life as you have …
June 24th, 2008 07:14 am
I hope you keep it going, but like everyone else I understand if you dont. Ive been reading since insydious as well. I agree with Kayle, I get a lot of insight from you and love reading about your wonderful family. But you need to do whats best for you guys.
June 24th, 2008 10:39 am
Awwww =( I would totally miss your blogs! Please do consider making some kind of public blog! Like everyone has said, I do understand your need to keep your private life private! Do what you think is best! =)
June 24th, 2008 10:58 am
I completley understand. This is your life and it’s your choice who you want to share your precious memories with. Do what’s best for you and your sweet family!
June 24th, 2008 12:01 pm
I will miss your blog, but can totally understand the privacy thing! Good luck on your secrets, whatever they may be! I hope everything works out for you =)
June 24th, 2008 02:35 pm
Just know that whatever you decide, we’re behind you 100%!
June 24th, 2008 05:29 pm
awww, i definitely want access if you do go private!
you have access to mine, right? if not, just email me. i forget whether you do or not, but i know we have read each others’ blogs off and on since you were in high school! haha. mine is private, too, but i give access out pretty freely, just no one from my personal life that i have issues with and very few people from my work. i think it’s a great idea. i don’t regret making mine private at all!!
June 24th, 2008 06:00 pm
That is probably a good idea Sarah. Less stress for you and your family in the long run. I enjoy reading your site tho, so I hope I can still read…. but private wouldnt be a bad idea afterall the BS youve been going through with “you know who” heh
June 24th, 2008 06:10 pm
Hey!
I’ve read your blog for several years and have loved reading about you and your life (I’m from eastern washington too–the tri-citeis). You’re style of writing can be so addictive ha ha. My husband always laughs at how long I’ve followed your blog. I tell him it’s like a never ending book that i read every few days, only its a real person and not a ficitonal character lol.
I’ve never left you a comment (i think?) just because I never felt the need to….UNTIL TODAY!
I hope whatever you decide to do, I can continue to vsit your blog!
Let me know what iinfo i need to give you or whatever so that i can still be a visitor to your blog if you make that decision!
Take care and good luck on all of your “plans” !
-One of your “Fans”
June 24th, 2008 06:43 pm
I enjoy reading your blog.
But I can definitely understand the need for privacy. That’s why I stopped blogging altogether a few years ago.
June 24th, 2008 08:55 pm
i understand what you mean about not feeling like announcing things to the whole world sometimes. i see my blog as kind of an open letter to the internet (or something, hah) so i try not to talk about anything i wouldn’t want any one person to know. but it must be hard when there are certain people *coughs* hanging around waiting to go over everything and pick it apart.
anyway, i wish you all the best with whatever you decide to do
June 24th, 2008 09:32 pm
Hey Sarah! I would be very sad to see your site go to private. I’ve been reading for years, since you were in high school. I don’t comment much and I’m sorry for that but I do love coming here to read. Out of 11 favorites yours is the only blog I frequently visit. Hope you don’t!
June 24th, 2008 09:37 pm
i’m a long. long time visitor as well and while i can totally understand your need for privacy i’ll be very sad to see you go!
June 24th, 2008 11:00 pm
i was thinking about this too. how censored i feel like i have to be on my own site. because things get twisted & turned so often. thankfully, i have lj for my super 10x a day posting urges. heh.
too bad some people have to ruin the fun for everyone, huh?
June 24th, 2008 11:12 pm
I suppose this barelly counts now, since you already posted again, and since I rearely comment, but I sure am reading your site for a really long while! I still used to type insydious to get in here, but I think that domain has expired! But oh well. Do your thing, privacy is important!
June 24th, 2008 11:52 pm
i was an insydious reader, never really interacted tho till this one, i was too busy back then trying to have a “bidness”..which is actually how i found “cam girls” lol a cam girl bought some stuff from me then linked me and this and that and i in turn looked at her stuff link hopping and found a few cam girl blog things that i read regular, which was insydious and some girl i cant remember her name now, sinnocence and umm that renae? girl that got on tv but that was not really out of interest other than to see what all the commotion is about type thing lol
June 24th, 2008 11:57 pm
oo i forgot dan@ snoogins.net lol he had you linked too, i used to play pimpwars (rofl) with that guy he was nice…wow thikning back on that whole cam girl phase..jeesh i even remember webpig? and some other guy had some big gossip forum keeping up with the cam girls, i thought the whole cam girl thing progressed into just online diarys.. rather innocent but then i saw mtvs true life epside about double lifes on the web and i guess cam girls are still alive and kickin lol
June 25th, 2008 02:37 am
I would definitely miss your site if you moved it or made it private! I love coming here and reading what you have to say
. I don’t always comment but I’m pretty much a daily reader.
June 25th, 2008 03:31 am
Have to go with all the above comments. I’ve been reading since the Insydious days, pretty much daily. It would be weird if I couldn’t read you anymore, LOL. But I see you’ve already posted that you’re sticking around, that’s good news.
June 25th, 2008 08:34 am
Hey Sarah! I’m with all these other people. I’ve been reading your blog since Insydious. I love what you write and It would be sad if you left all of us. It looks like you have so much support from everyone. I think you should keep writing because we’d all miss you. :o)
June 25th, 2008 09:45 am
It’s too bad that one obsessed person has to ruin this for so many others. Me and thousands of other girls who read your blog have you back! (((HUGS)))
June 25th, 2008 10:01 am
I hope you stick with a public blog, I’ve been following your sites since insydious (although I’m quite lazy about commenting haha)
June 25th, 2008 11:56 am
aww i’ve been reading your sites for years too and i’d love to have access to your new one if possible.
June 25th, 2008 03:02 pm
I understand about you wanting to make it private, sometimes people dont know how to just let things go and won’t let you live your life. It sucks, but its the truth, I hope that you making it private will end the drama, because I have been in those shoes and its not pretty, I have had my blog and myspace end up in court. seriously. just sucks.
June 25th, 2008 06:49 pm
Ana, taking down this blog won’t end the drama. As I have asked my ex more than once “why do you keep doing this?” … in reference to consistently ridiculous things she does to try and keep Ashton away from us, her answer has been word for word “you’d think you would give up by now”…. She wants to me sign over Ashton to her, she thinks she will make my life such hell that I’ll just choose to remove myself from Ashton’s life. So it’s easy to derive from that statement that she will not stop what she is doing, of course, anyone who she’s around supports her, because she tells them that she is “protecting” Ashton from us…. she has made so many people believe the absolute worst things imaginable, even herself. She is intent on trying to make my life, my wife’s life a living hell and she uses my daughter as a tool to do that. So taking down the blog won’t stop the drama. I don’t think she will ever stop, because she wants me to pay. I’m just not sure why she is so hell bent on punishing me. Ex-wives out there, please do not let your hate for your ex husband affect how you deal with your children in regards to him. I can’t stand my ex wife, but this is the only reason why I have a problem with her. She doesn’t care what Ashton wants, all in the name of protecting her. Yah you might want to protect her from all the fun times we have here, raising our twin girls, flying around DFW, playing Rockband, visiting grandparents…. it’s awful.
June 26th, 2008 01:43 am
good luck with whatever you choose to do!
June 26th, 2008 06:55 am
I have been reading you for months and its been fun watching you start your new business and it seems like its going strong!!! We are all here for you!!!
June 26th, 2008 09:49 am
Just a latecomer here
Just wanted to add that I understand about how privacy can always be an issue, especially regarding certain negative people. Anyway I hope I would get to read your other blog just cos I enjoy your entries so much and have been reading them for years, which makes me feel old when I think about it : p
June 26th, 2008 04:21 pm
Woah! I was out of town for a few days and came back to this!
I would love to keep reading your blog. I followed your pregnancy over at tww.com!
June 26th, 2008 05:50 pm
I know who you are talking about and seriously, fuck him. He’s not worth even THINKING about. I know the things he can say about you, or even worse, your precious babies, is just him trying to compensate for the fact that nobody ever has or will love him.
Ever.
Try and ignore him and live your life the way you want to. You are a beautiful girl and an awesome mommy, don’t ever forget that.
June 26th, 2008 07:25 pm
Oh, yah, he’s one of the people. Ugh. The thought of him makes me want to vomit.
June 27th, 2008 01:23 pm
Hi Sarah! I love reading your blog and seeing the new pictures of the girls so I would love to be able to continue reading your blog! I know I don’t always comment but I’m always reading!
