blog stuff – Page 3 – For Little Eyes

Call for posts

I’m swamped at work right now – it’s the beginning of the school year – so posting will be pretty light the next couple of weeks. If anyone has any thoughts on topics or wants to write a post, just email it my way (ann@shinypebble.com) and I’ll try to get it posted quickly. Anyone’s kidsContinue reading “Call for posts”

Coloring page, patching charts, blog badges and a book give away! Oh my

So much stuff! I just got an influx of all manner of things for you all – it just all kind of accumulated at the same time. Coloring Page! Amomofelly has made a new colorpage! In response to requests, this one features a boy with glasses and a patch. It’s one of the thick-lined coloringContinue reading “Coloring page, patching charts, blog badges and a book give away! Oh my”

Photos in the photo gallery

I know I’m way behind on this, but I finally got 2 new photos added to the photo gallery (Conall and Penny), and updated the photo of Paris. I feel like I may have missed someone though. If you’ve sent me a photo, either by comments or email, and it’s not on the page, I’mContinue reading “Photos in the photo gallery”

Visitor map

Create your own visitor map! Just testing out this map of visitors that Amomofelly mentioned.

Monday (now Tuesday) round-up

You know how sometimes things just seem a lot harder than you think they should be? Yeah, I’m having one of those nights, so this is just going to be in bullets (in fact, things took so long it went into the next morning. sigh. All better now). More coloring pages!! I just got 4Continue reading “Monday (now Tuesday) round-up”

open thread: how’s it going?

I try to follow all the comments in different threads, and I know that some people have appointments coming up for their kids or are dealing with getting new glasses or other things. Mostly I’m just curious about how everyone is doing. So, what’s up with you?

blog-keeping updates

Couple of quick updates. First off, I’ve finally gotten around to getting the domain littlefoureyes.com. So now the title and URL of the blog match, which should be a lot easier to remember and quicker to type. Any old links or bookmarks should still work, though if you’re subscribed through an RSS reader, you mayContinue reading “blog-keeping updates”

new banner

I’m thrilled to unveil our new banner for the little four eyes site, by Scott Donaldson! I had been looking for a new header image for a while because as this site has grown, I don’t think of Zoe as the face of little four eyes anymore. She’s just one of many beautiful kids whoContinue reading “new banner”

discussions

There’s a lot of great discussions going on in a couple of comment threads, so if you haven’t been following along, you may want to check in (especially in the Photo Gallery and the Nearsighted Kids post). I have a list of most recent comments on the side bar, and WordPress now lets you askContinue reading “discussions”

delurk for sight!

Apparently it’s National Delurking Week in the blog world – honestly, I have no idea who comes up with these, or if it’s even real, but I’ve been looking for a good reason to ask all you readers to take a moment and leave a comment. So here’s some incentive, this week only (starting today,Continue reading “delurk for sight!”

tell me what you want!

As we head into the new year, I’m wondering what sorts of articles and posts you’d like to see on this blog (you can vote for more than one thing). Feel free to comment with other ideas or specific topics you’d like to see.

catching up

I’ve been a bit behind recently. In fact, I just got three more pictures added to the photo gallery this weekend, one of which has been waiting for over two weeks to be posted. Sorry, don’t mean to be hoarding the cute. I have a couple of posts brewing, on toys and tv shows. IfContinue reading “catching up”

100!

I’m very excited that little four eyes just passed the 100 posts mark today! I started this blog in mid-March, 3 months after Zoe started wearing glasses, because I just wanted to find other parents of young kids in glasses to talk with, and exchange ideas and tips and just generally connect. Since then we’veContinue reading “100!”

how did you even know…

I wrote a guest post for our local newspaper’s (Minneapolis Star Tribune) parenting blog, Cribsheet. The post talked about how we learned that Zoe needed glasses, and signs for parents to watch out for that could indicate a vision problem. I wanted to thank everyone for sharing all their experiences here on little four eyes,Continue reading “how did you even know…”
