  1. congratulations on your one year anniversary – and I believe the blog is getting better and better every day. It also seems like you have fulfilled many of the goals you set out to do in your first OTBKB post – So congratulations and perhaps you should have a party?

  2. I can’t imagine living without OTBKB! I am truly addicted and a huge fan. The most amazing thing about it to me, too, is how you find the TIME to do this with a career and children and everything. I met someone at our block party meeting over the summer who knew you personally; I mentioned to her how truly impressed I was that you were able to keep up with this every day and never disappoint. It made me think how weird it would be if I met you in person one day!
