Anyways, so here's the reason(s) I went private.
To make a LONG story short, I know someone - who knows someone who - was saying some stuff about where they like to spend their time on her own blog one day, the next day she was found killed in that very place... It kind of scared me, but it wasn't the only reason.
With my Food Storage blog being rather "big" I feel the need to take a couple precautions. I have almost 6000 fans on my facebook food storage fan page, and 20,000 on the email list. Just in case ONE of those people are kinda crazy, I'd rather protect my families identities a little more. I know someone could easily find us if they really wanted to, but just in case... I'm making the pictures of my ever so incredibly cute children a little more difficult to find.
Also, I often find myself being a little guarded in what I write because I don't know who is reading it. I write for my own memories because I'm getting my blog turned into a pdf, or book each year.... because of that I would rather be a little more open - If it's just my friends reading it, I don't care- I'm not THAT private of a person... but strangers?
So there you have it... My reasons/excuses. I hate that it's even an issue - but I've been almost about to do this for a long time... so here I am...gone private.

I totally agree with your reasoning and your babies are too incredibly cute!
I'd say that's a pretty good reason to go private!
I want to go private too! Will you help me?
GOod job! I am following in your footsteps.
How do you go about making your blog into a pdf, or book? We're private as well and I love the book idea.
