to continue or to abandon?

Earlier this week Matt and I had a very serious conversation about my blog. In a nutshell, we discussed Claire's involvement, and the fact that her pictures are all over the place on here. I mean, technically, this is my journal to her. I have a baby book and I write in it when I need to but it doesn't really get the daily grid incorporated into it.

Now, I have been keeping an eye out on my blog stats, and I'm not sure if my actual followers are viewing my posts, but not commenting (which is fine, of course) or if some creepy McCreepstein is doing inappropriate things with the pictures of my beautiful daughter.  It happens every day but I told myself that I would protect my images, which I did, but there is away around everything. With all of the abductions and awful things that happen to babies & small children, I've decided to change some things around here.

I can do one of three things. They are:
1. Quit blogging altogether.
2. Make my blog private.
3. Stop using her pictures in all of my blog posts.

I didn't think making my blog private would matter much, and that my daily (or so I think, daily) followers would notice. But one of my fellow blogging mammas noticed. (You know who you are.) So  I am second guessing my choice to go straight to private.

So here's what I'm begging you to do for me.

Please let me know if you do read my blog. If it's something you enjoy.
Is there something you dislike? I mean, I am getting tons of views but zero comments on pretty much all of my posts {this is what makes me think that strange people are viewing my blog and makes me wonder if I should even keep it public. I mean not trying to sound like a cry baby by any means, but what's the point of writing without pictures if the stuff I'm writing isn't pleasurable for other?}

I won't be offended if you straight up tell me that my writing style sucks and I have nothing fun to read. Once again, I do this mostly as a journal, but I would be lying if I said I didn't love blogging because I totally do. I just need to know where to go from here.

Also, if you would like to make your pictures safer, let me know and I will post the code for your blog.

Thanks ladies! Happy Thursday :)
