This Ain't No Party
There will be no streamers, cakes, or balloons.
Honestly, I'm too busy finishing up our last two weeks of the homeschool year to think about any kind of celebration of this blog's 5th anniversary.
Yup, it was five years ago today that I wrote my first post. Things have changed a lot since 2004.
What started out as an informational blog about family life quickly changed into a more personal parenting journal, only to change again as we became homeschoolers and I added that to the mix of blogging topics.
Life has never been busier, and that has definitely had an effect on how much time I devote to my blog of late. But, at the end of a hectic day, it's still fun to sit down to share a few thoughts and opinions with other parents, homeschoolers, and whoever else might end up here.
So, I suspect there will be a tenth anniversary. Maybe I'll have a party for that one.
Anyone out there been reading since the beginning?

Well, since 5 years ago I didn't even know what a blog was I was not here for the first post. But you've been a regular in my reader for just about 2 (if that counts for anything.)
Been here for about three years I think.
Been here for about a year and a half. Boy, 5 years? Really? Congrats.
I'm with you for the past 3 years, I think. You're one of the very few male bloggers that I followed. You taught me many things about parenting; and inspired me too in many ways. Here's to even the 25th year or more!
I think I started reading it just about the time you started homeschooling. Congratulations on the long lived blog
Congrats Phil on 5 years of blogging. I've been here since the beginning. It's been a great way keep up with you and your family. I've really enjoyed reading it. I hope it goes on for several more years.
Congrats Phil....... I didnt even know what a blob was 5 years ago..... thats how internet crippled I am...

5 Years!!?? Wow, that is amazing.
Thanks for all your hard work, I love reading about life in Idaho and all the clever things you have to share. Keep it up and we'll celebrate the 10 sooner than you'll know.
Almost, but not quite. I started my blog in April 2004 and found you within a year or so.
Hi! Just found your blog and am really interested in reading about your journey into homeschooling. We have a 7year old who hated school (and honestly, who can hate school at 7?!) and we were on the road to homeschooling. Lucky for us, his name came up in the lottery for an incredible charter school in our area. The idea of homeschooling is still out there, and it will be great to read a first hand account of it.
Wow... 5 years is a HUGE milestone. I'm approaching 4 and am uncertain about my chances of making it to 5. Congrats Phil... you've got a great thing going here.
Show off.
Congrats!
Hmm, nobody commented on the Talking Heads reference? I think I have been lurking from the beginning, probably coming in after a comment in Chalkhills.
I've been with you for about 2 years since I first moved to NC from NY. STILL considering homeschooling and still too nervous to take the plunge with my 4 and 6 yr olds-You keep me holding on to the hope that one day I will be able to go for it!
