Happy 1st Birthday Blog!

I've been blogging for a year officially now. Well, more off and on blogging but the blog has been up for a year now. It's kind of a weird thought that it was only last year when I decided to "change the world" and put up this blog. I really do hope it's done some good out there, and not just for some reports some kid has to write about a metobolic disease. But some real good.







So let's look at some stats for

Year 1:

Top 5 posts:

1. New favorite Recipe- 131 views
   


2. Happy PKU Awareness Month- 125 views



3. Hello to You Too- 62 views



4. Food & Dates- 39 views



5. A Letter of Hope- 31 views

Top 5 Searches that Find the Blog:

1. People with Phenylketonuria-10
   


2. Pheylketonuria-8


3. PKU Awareness Month-6



4. PKU Baby-6



5. People with PKU-5

Top 5 Countries:

1. United States- 867
   


2. Malaysia-31



3. Russia- 28



4. Canada-22



5. Germany-18

Well, what did you think about the results?? I was really suprised at the number of people who viewed Food & Dates. The country views really intrigue me. To have people from another country reading what I'm typing this very moment... it's a pretty awe-inspiring thought. My Favorite post was The Letter of Hope personally. It's very touching. (And it's one of the posts where I actually got a picture to pop up with it.)

So where am I a year later...? Well, I'm a senior getting all my college stuff ready. Almost done with High School. Last year I didn't really think college could ever be so near. Last year... I was younger. I guess that's the word I was searching for. I've learned a lot about life this past year; and I've grown so much. I wonder what this next year will bring for us.

Anyways... Happy 1st Birthday Blog and May you last long enough to have many more!!!

Got Powermilk?

Sometimes you just need to shake things up. The same-old thing though comfortable gets boring. This includes Powermilk. The other day I was at the grocery store with my mom when she found something that could "shake up" my same-old Powermilk.

Ready?

Got Milk Flavored Straws.

I know what you're thinking. Milk... right? But these straws are lactose and gluten free! Cool right? They have 4 original flavors: vanilla, chocolate, cookies'n cream, and strawberry. They have a lot of other flavors too and are making them all the time. In fact, on their "official website" (just google Got Milk Flavored Straws to find it) they have a place where you can invent a flavor and they'll consider making it!

I don't like changing my milk a lot. I get used to the flavor and whenever it changes it takes forever to get used to. (Plus a lot of forcing myself not to gag.) But these straws are just a "I'm bored of my milk let's shake things up and use a flavor straw today" kind of solution.

My sister doesn't like it with her Powermilk. It doesn't mix well, I guess. But I have Phenylade Essentials Vanilla. Vanilla can mix with anything and become new. I don't know how it mixes with other formulas but I'm betting it'll be okay with Bettermilk... wait. I still have a pack from that demo. :) I'm going to have to try it and see for you guys okay??

Okay. Sorry it took me so long to publish. My internet has been wacky lately and I have a lot of posts in mind right now so you aren't going to have to wait long for the next one. :) See you!
