In Which We Discuss...Stats!

If you know me, you know I geek out on anything that can be measured - preferably quantitatively, but I'll also accept qualitatively in a pinch. I love working in Excel. Graphs are my be-all-and-end-all. Need a formula for that? Hold a sec; got one right here.

So I've been tracking the launch of this new blog pretty closely, because STATS, ya'll. So...without any further adieu, may I present the facts and figures from the first 24 hours of The Momma in the Middle.

(Also, I promise not to make this a daily habit - I'm just geeked out on this because it's day 1 of a new site.)


First up, pageviews by country and by platform. I see no real surprises here - I know who is in Iraq (hi, Jerry), and Canada (hi, Julia), and Italy (hi, Jessie), and Singapore (hi, Kresta), and South Africa (hi, Meg)...although the Peru hit has me stumped. Maybe an AAer who is traveling?
Next up, we have pageviews by day (24 hours split over 2 days), which is a healthy total for a blog with only 2 live posts...and 100% of traffic coming from Facebook.

And then the breakdown by post - post #2 has a really good total versus post #1 consider the headstart #1 got!


Next up, post interaction on the new Facebook page. Not too shabby!


And finally, general stats for the Facebook page. Dear 114 People - I love you, and you've made my day! Muah! The interesting piece here is that apparently, 108 likes are from friends...which means that I have 6 likes from people I'm not connected with already - that's kind of unexpected since this was totally a friends-and-family launch. But nice! I'll take it and thank you very much!


Know what this all means? I'm in the middle of the greatest bunch of friends, family and acquaintances a girl could ask for. Ya'll rock! Thanks for coming on this journey with me!

In the Middle of...Child Cell Phone Safety

I recently bought both of my littles a cell phone. Yes, they're still a bit on the young side for that, but after thinking about it for a long time - like, really, a year - I decided it was the best course of action. Having a cell phone doesn't mean the kids now have free reign over the internet, apps and all of the craziness that goes along with it. *This Momma* has gone all NSA on the little ones, loading up their devices with parental monitoring software so that I have oversight of their usage and control over how the devices are used. I'd like to share the apps I've installed so far - and then see what your favorites are to use for your kiddos' devices. First up was Family Link . Family Link is an actual Google product and designed specifically so that families can safely allow children to use cell phones and other devices. And so far, I'm just loving it! I set up a profile for each kiddo and the parameters around their usage that I want to e...

Still in the Middle

When my former husband and I first separated, I went into a blue funk every time the kids were gone to stay with him instead of me. I'd stay in my pajamas, chain-smoking, reading dreary novels, and crying my eyes out. Blech! Thank GOD I'm no longer that person. I absolutely needed that time to mourn then heal - but Lord knows you can't stay that way forever. Now, I look at the time that the kids are with their father as opportunities to get all of my non-kiddo related things done - chores, errands, Tom Cruise movie marathons , extra client work, projects, school or church work, and Tom Cruise movie marathons . (Did I mention Tom Cruise movie marathons ? Just want to be sure I didn't forget that.) Do I still miss them? Of course. Right now I'm sitting in a house that's waaaaaaay too quiet. The kids have been gone for 25 minutes and will be with their dad through Saturday (with a brief stay back with me because of his work schedule). I'll miss them t...

On Having a Minimalist Christmas

I normally go all-out at Christmas, in terms of decorating, celebrating, and gift giving. This year, not so much. Several weeks of my life between Thanksgiving and Christmas got sucked up in a miasma of sickness, and it's changed my whole approach to the holiday season this year. See, I got pneumonia the week of Thanksgiving and was admitted to the hospital the following week for what would become a 10-day stay, followed by a week of bed rest at home. That's the time I normally would have spent decking my halls to the nines - my Christmas decorations, when packed away, fill a walk-in closet, floor to ceiling. I dress up the whole front yard. The tree gets decked and then some. And every room in the house gets other decorations as well. It didn't happen this year. We were lucky to get the tree up about a week ago. A few other treasured decorations made it out several days after that. As late as yesterday and today, the kids were bringing a few other things out to use...
