Last week was a bit of a crazefest at our house. \u00a0We run our own business and were trying to catch up from being on vacation for a week and getting out all our shipments for Christmas. \u00a0We were trying to create a nice Christmas for our kiddies getting last minute things, like a tree, a tree stand, and lights. \u00a0 Yeah, we put that off a little too long…oops. \u00a0Who knew all the tree stands would be sold out everywhere the weekend before Christmas?! I didn’t even think about it. \u00a0So after going to Shopko, Target, and Lowes with no luck, I finally called Home Depot. \u00a0Why didn’t I just go there first? \u00a0They had 15 left. \u00a0So…it took about 6 hours to get one tree, one tree stand, and three boxes of color fading lights. \u00a0Ugh, Saturday gone. \u00a0I did find it a little\u00a0amusing\u00a0that the brand of the tree stand was called “Santa’s Last Stand” LOL, cute name. \u00a0And, for me that was almost true. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42 Made me smile.<\/p>\n

Amidst\u00a0all our getting ready for Christmas and business stuff we discovered that our family blog we have had for the past 4 years somehow got deleted. \u00a0I know that in the big\u00a0scheme\u00a0of things this is minor, but at the same time it is how I have journaled my life and my kids lives. \u00a0I was in\u00a0disbelief\u00a0for about an hour after my husband told me, then I broke down and cried a good cry. \u00a0I felt like someone threw my journal in the fire place and I had no say and no way to pull it out. \u00a0Super Bummed!<\/p>\n

But, thankfully my husband is a tech smart guy and with the help of Google Cache, was able to recover a little more than half of our blog. \u00a0Google Cache is a storage type system that Google has, it takes a little snap shot of your blog or website about once a month. \u00a0Through this we were able to look at our pages month by month over 4 years and copy and past my posts into a Word document. \u00a0The blog is still gone, but at least we recovered a little of it. \u00a0I am not sure if I am going to continue that blog anymore. \u00a0I might just start journaling some other way.<\/p>\n

(All that’s left are links like this thanks to Google Cache)<\/p>\n

http:\/\/webcache.googleusercontent.com\/search?q=cache%3APxx2gB4cazoJ%3Awww.thehousethatmuirbuilt.com%2Fpage%2F6%2F+&cd=9&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us<\/a><\/p>\n

Could we have avoided this? \u00a0Maybe. \u00a0Make sure all you bloggers out there backup your blogs on a regular basis!<\/span> We should have been doing this more. \u00a0I think we still would have lost our blog, but we might have had more of it saved out there in cyber land.<\/p>\n

Anywho! \u00a0I plan on getting crafty with you this last week before Christmas so stay tuned! \u00a0I promise my posts will be more cheery \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
