1000

There are some things so big you just don't know what to do with them.

Like big stuffed toys. Seriously. What are you supposed to do with those things?

Some big things are so big that they deserve something big to compliment them.

Like a 1000th blog post. Yes that's right. This is my 1000th blog post!


In almost 4 years I have published 1000 posts. When you add that to the numerous draft posts that have never seen the light of day?

Well, that's a lot of words and pictures. And spelling and grammar mistakes!

So when I was thinking about what to do for my 1000th post, I thought that something this big needed something equally as big to go with it.

But what?

I thought I could take a shitload of photos, and make it my most epic photo-laden post of all time, but that would probably take forever to load on everyones devices and probably make the internet explode.

I thought I could write and write and write and make it my most longest post ever. But that would probably be pretty boring for most people and use up all of my precious blogging ideas in one go!

I thought I could go out and do something ridiculously awesome and dangerous, take lots of photos of it, and then give you the world's best account of the world's best stunt. But that Felix Baumgartener guy beat me to it apparently. Bastard!

I thought I could host the most massive, the most epic of big giveaways but then that would either take time and effort trying to find people to give me shit to giveaway, or it would cost me money buying shit to giveaway. And who can be bothered.

So I thought and I thought about it. I thought about it for weeks. 

What would be big enough to put in a post with a milestone of such big importance?

And then it came to me. The perfect thing. The biggest of big things.
Baby Purtell #2.
Arriving July 2013
Surely that has to be big enough?

Linking this post up as always with Essentially Jess. Because it's Tuesday. And I Blog on Tuesday. Do you?

Kylie Purtell said…
Thanks V, I look forward to sharing it!
Kylie Purtell said…
I know, it's so exciting! So much squishy goodness!
Kylie Purtell said…
Thanks Tracey. I certainly can waffle on a lot that's for sure. And it will be interesting to see how Mia goes as a big sister, I'm looking forward to seeing how she handles it.
Kylie Purtell said…
Lol, yep, you must never leave the house again! Thanks Amy!
Kylie Purtell said…
Hahahaha I know, the things I'll do for my blogging! I must admit I actually slowed down my posting once I realised I was getting close to the 1000 and that I could time the dates if I was careful!
Kylie Purtell said…
Hahaha, thanks Rhian!
Kylie Purtell said…

Kylie Purtell said…
Hahaha, yep me too, me too!
Kylie Purtell said…
Thanks Grace! Unlike the last time I was pregnant I have a feeling July is gonna come round quicker than I'm expecting!
Kylie Purtell said…
Thanks! I am looking forward to seeing her as a big sister that's for sure.
Kylie Purtell said…
Thanks Talia, I'm very excited. It's funny how I thought the month before that I was pregnant and I wasn't and then bam! Next month I was!
Kylie Purtell said…
It certainly is prime baby month that's for sure! xx
Housewife in Heels said…
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but I was plastered from that 4 year old party- you know how it is when you have too much red cordial :) I am thrilled about your news. I think Mia will be a great older sister. Hope your pregnancy is going smoothly and your not suffering too much from morning sickness. It's especially hard when you have to keep up with a busy 1 year old. I can't wait to see what you come up with for your 2000th post! Twins? ;)
jessica crawford said…
Congratulations! That's definitely one way to celebrate 1000!

A lolly stick and a book, I don't get it ; ) Congrats Kylie, that's huge and very befitting for your 1000th. Maybe every 1000 you have another baby?
