Seeee??? I put up cool new tickers on the sidebar!! They're really rather pointless, but they're fun. I have enjoyed these things throughout Thak's deployments, for anniversary countdowns, and stuff like that. Now there's a cool new website that has ticker designs which appeal far more to us. The typical flowers, butterflies, and fairies hardly fit our personality, yet these were the standard fare on most ticker sites until relatively recently.
Enter Alternatickers!! Alas, they have tickers for those of us who tread on the side of the line most would call odd. Yes, there are slider icons for extended harnessing and extended rear-facing! They have breastfeeding ones which are really cute even though we can't use them. They have bike (as in bicycle, not motorcycle) stuff, punk rock stuff, retro stuff, tattoo stuff, sushi stuff, and even cloth diapering stuff!! Did you see the cloth diapering ticker?? That slider is actually a Bum Genius diaper in Grasshopper! We actually have four in our collection just like that! They had a lot of kinds of dipes to choose from for sliders on the site. I was so impressed. Even the car seats in the kids' tickers are correct. That's a Nautilus in Erin's, and a Britax Marathon in Orren's. While ours are pink and Mossy Oak camo, respectively, the point is, we're not the only ones who think this stuff is cool enough to put on a ticker. One other thing we like about that site is that every one of those slider icons is available with the kid in various skin tones. A site that doesn't assume EVERYONE on the face of the earth is white?! This is far too good to be true!
Anyhow, I love cute little tickers, and now we have a lot of them. If you ever want to just real quick see how old the kids are, or how long till Thak's birthday, or how long we've REALLY got until he's out of the Army, it's just a click away. :)
