Protecting the clan

So my friend has inspired me to make sure that my family's identity is kept safe on my blog. I love this new way to keep people updated about our life, but there are tons of people that link on to blogs through other people's blog...people that I don't know. So I have revamped my blog to eliminate mine or my children's first and last name's being listed. Sorry if this sounds paranoid, but with identity theft gaining popularity, it is better safe than sorry. So I ask that if you decide to add my link to your blog that you refrain from listing my first and last name. Thanks so much for your understanding! I invite you to make your blog safe as well! Happy blogging!!!
