I come a few times a week because I love reading about your pregnancy, hearing your unique voice come through in your posts, and seeing your gorgeous pictures!

I’ve been following you since your WeddingBee days (I’ve been engaged 2 years! getting married in 2 months!) and visit your blog a few times a week, and daily, when I’m not in school. I love reading about your life with That Husband, and I love how you just speak your mind. Your not afraid to voice your opinions on certain (test-y) subjects. Plus, as Kate said, I do love hearing about your pregnancy (and seeing gorgeous maternity pics!). Keep up what your doin!

I have your blog in my google reader, which I check a few times a day…so basically whenever you post, I see it!

I really enjoy your style of writing, and your “no nonsense” attitude. (I’m not sure if that is a good way to describe it, but you basically say what you think and you sya it with conviction..so that is what I mean!) And of course, your beautiful photos! I also like that you talk about many different topics all in one place.

During the week I check in every day - I have your blog on my rss feed reader - but sometimes I’ll check in a couple times a day just to be sure I’m not missing a post.

I keep coming back because you have great photography how to posts and looking at your photography and I love reading your pregnancy/birth posts.

Most of all I like the honest, straight forward approach you have towards blogging about any subject - even when I don’t necessarily agree with you, I like that you’re able to state your opinions and most often give a good background/basis for those opinions.

Ohhhh I love these!

I’m another daily reader as well! I’m subscribed through Google Reader - which I’m pretty sure I learned about FROM YOU! HEART!

I read That Wife everyday! It’s on my Google reader, of course. I keep coming back because you always have interesting things to say. I’m especially interested in your honest thoughts on your pregnancy and planning for the home birth. A non-hospital birth was never something I considered before reading your blog, and now it seems like a wonderful, refreshing alternative (someday — no babies on the way for a few years!).

I’ve been following you since Weddingbee as well. I’m not sure what really keeps me coming back.

I enjoy hearing stories about other peoples lives. I graduated from University with a degree in history and I find the personal history fascinating. Did you ever think of printing your blog off and creating a book to donate to a library/historical society so that in 100 years someone could write about your life in a historical context?(Please consider this!) And I’m always looking for new blogs that detail people’s everyday life.

You have been added to my google reader so I while I’m at work I have my reader open and I read all of the posts as they come in.

You’re in my google reader so I read just as much as you post! I read because you’re so REAL and because I like you

I read That Wife every time a new post comes up because you are in my Google Reader. I keep coming back because although we have differing opinions on a few subjects, I like a lot of the stuff you do post about.

You’re a good writer - and what you write makes me think… I read That Wife everyday

I check Google Reader every day, if not multiple times a day, for your updates. Your posts are such a refreshing break in my day - filled with humor, interesting information, or just more about you personally that I typically relate to.

I found your blog within the last month and it has quickly become a favorite of mine. You are in my google reader and I check it like a.million.times.a.day. I love the stories you tell and I feel like I can really relate!

Have an amazing weekend!

I honestly just found your site today!!! Lucky me. I am on my way to bookmark/follow/subscribe…..whatever sort of stalking device you offer. Haha! Great site!!!

So, in the future, I will visit your blog when you post something. And I’m excited to see what is in your archives until your next post. Thanks!

I read your blog every day. Why? Because I appreciate your honesty and how much you stand by your convictions. We don’t have all of the same beliefs, but you always strive to educate people about where you are coming from. That and I loved your entries as Miss Avo on the ‘Bee!

I found you through a friend a few months ago, you are in my google reader so I look forward to checking each morning to see what you have to say. I like the variety of subjects plus the freedom of information you give. You are honest with your point of view and it gives us all another way to see things!

I check in anytime you post something new, as you’re in my google reader! I started reading you in your WB days, and I truthfully, I think you interested me because several years ago I lost a friend who was Mormon, and reading about your life made me think of her. I remember growing up, kids thinking she was “weird” because she never drank coffee, or because her Sundays were spent occupied all day with family & related activities, instead of out with friends. When I started reading you, I was reminded of her own struggles in finding a modest wedding dress, etc. It made me think of her (in fact, if you were living in Utah at the time-I think it was 2006 when she passed-she drowned in a lake in Orem, UT…you may have heard of the story-husband & wife drowned tragically & bodies of several other missing (for years) folks were found in the recovery of their bodies.). Anyway, reading about your life makes me think about how her married life would likely be if she and her husband were still around, as she held the same belief & values system that you do.

I keep up with your posts daily through my google reader (which, I’m pretty sure I started using after you blogged about it…) and I most often check your actual blog when I want to comment on something or see what others have said (and I usually end up commenting then too). We have a lot in common, but we differ in a lot of ways too. I enjoy reading what you have to say regardless of my own personal stance on what you are writing about, because I appreciate your honesty and openness. Plus we’ve become e-friends, and this is how I keep up with you. =)

Miss Jenna,
I come by a couple of times a week to check in on your adventures in marriage and pregnancy, mostly because I greatly appreciate your honest and humble take on this crazy life we all lead.

SMOOCHES!

I subscribe on Google Reader, so I guess I come by everyday?

I like the stories, the photography, and watching your business grow. It’s an inspiration for my own little business!

I check in nearly every day! Although we have some very different outlooks (and I still avoid your Sunday posts!) on many different issues, I love your personality and what is clearly a good and honest heart

I also love how often you post and how varied your posting is.

-Ashley

I check in every Monday through Friday, but I usually catch the weekend posts on Monday. I come back because I’m interested in what you have to say. I like to hear your opinions on everything, I really like your photography (hoping to catch a session with you sometime when you’re in UT) and I like that you stand your ground on decisions, even if your commenters don’t agree, and sometimes leave mean comments.

*Speaking of*…did you read the fiasco at CJane? I thought of you when I read that.

Also, I think I secretly wish I were as cool as you. and that people wanted to read my blog as much as they read and love yours.

I read your posts as soon as I see them in my google reader. As I am online nearly 24/7, that means more or less directly I check back for comments on posts which interest me maybe 2 days later if I did not leave a comment myself, otherwise I am notified via e-mail. Um…. how do I have the time for all that?

I read every day on my Google Reader! I’m glad that there is someone who is so willing to share our faith. Also, you make me think, and I really like your writing style!

I check in every day and I also read Jenna Cole. I come back because I love seeing how religion affects people’s life.

I get excited when TW comes up on my google reader. I was so inspired by you on the ‘bee, and I love how much I’ve been able to learn from you. Not just about religion, but pregnancy, cooking, life. I love coming to your corner of the web to learn how to have a more well-rounded life. So thank you for all you’ve taught me!

I read TW daily through my reader - but then I usually end up clicking on over to the blog to comment (you know how I love to comment). Why do I keep coming back… I started reading a year ago, and at the time you were writing about some things that we really disagree about (gay marriage). In the beginning I would come back to hear your perspective and also enjoy your always lively comments section. And I would often comment. Once I left a comment that I later feared may have been more snarky/judgmental than helpful to the discussion, and you replied in a honest and non-defensive way. And then I was hooked. I like That Wife.

I love reading blogs, especially ones I can relate with! I stop by That Wife Blog once a week, just to check out what is going on! What a good week to stop by though, great prizes! THANK YOU for sharing your favorites! Have a Happy Wife Day!

I’m another google reader. I check up on my reader 2-3 times a day so when you post I generally see it the same day. I comment more than I thought - which I realized on your last round of giveaways.

I started following your blog and you mine way back before you were even a Bee. Yet here I am still three months away from my wedding and you’ve been married a year + with a baby on the way! I love my “post wedding” bloggers that I’ve followed through the transition from Miss to Mrs and whatever comes next.

I started reading That Wife as a result of LOVING you on WeddingBee. I stick around because I love your perspective: at once so similar and so different from my own. Yours is one of my favorite blogs to read daily, and I might get a little excited each time a see a bold (1) next to your name in my google reader.

I like this question.

I check daily (and I check your formspring site a ridiculous number of times hoping you will have responded to more!). I got hooked from WB and then you were doing your 365 days challenege and I liked having something new every day.

You can make me so mad because sometimes (okay, most of the time) we have completely different view points. But most of the time, I love peeking into this slice of your life and getting to “know” you at least a little bit through your words. I really enjoy your writing style and I like following your life!

Saw you first on Weddingbee then followed over to the blog. I check pretty much every day to see if there is an update. Why? You’re interesting. You talk about varied topics not just the same old thing - and I particularly enjoy your photography tutorials.

I check in whenever you pop up on my google reader… and I check my google reader at least every hour

I became a regular reader after your pregnancy announcement. I’m in that stage of life too and it’s so fun to follow along with others. Especially ones that have similar views as me Unfortunately the hubby insists even if I don’t need a doctor HE’S going to need one - so I’ll be delivering as natural as possible at the hospital

Come on Lucky #13! I love to get a special bowl for baby’s dresser!

I read it through Google Reader, which I check (too) many times a day, but I came here from Weddingbee and keep coming back because I like the way you write and your pictures, and I love hearing about your pregnancy too! I also like learning more about your faith.

I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I usually pop by a few times a day.

I really enjoy your writing style and the range of topics you cover, but I’m also fascinated by the interesting discussions and insights in the comments.

I read That Wife daily! I come for the pretty pics and for your awesome “voice,” dear friend.

okay, this is a little embarrassing, but whatever, it’s for a paloma’s nest gift certificate!

I think I probably check my google reader about 20 times a day, and your blog has it’s very own section titled important people opinions. There are only three other blogs in that folder, and many no longer post. So, I check it 20 times a day for new material that I can eat up and digest. I find that it helps me balance myself in a very hospital-only birth type of community. I may not choose the exact same birth options that you do, Jenna, but I like to think that after reading your blog, I’m well educated enough to make those decisions. So thank you for that, for making me a better mommy-to-be!

I have you in my Google Reader. I don’t comment all the time, but I read everything you write. I found you because we’re both bees, and I still read because I like your writing style and am interested in your life (that sounds stalker-y, wow!).

I’ve got That Wife on my google reader, so I check in whenever you have a new post. I keep coming back because the posts are generally something I have an opinion (one way or the other) on and I’m interested to read your thoughts.

i come daily! your on my short list of blogs that i regularly read. i love your blog because even though we definitely have different beliefs, you present yours in a well informed and honest way. i love to learn about other people and really value a person who is willing to put themselves out there but in a way that is thoughtful and not ignorant. i really like how informed you are about what you do in life too, it makes me think twice before just doing something - i thought of you while buying vitamins recently haha which is random but because you have made me think about what i put in my body. i also really like hearing your ideas on marriage and finances because even though, again, i sometimes disagree, i am able to respect your opinion and input because of how you approach it. keep on truckin, forget those people who are negative!

I pretty much check everyday. I am a blog stalker that started reading your stuff on WeddingBee. I keep coming back because I enjoy your posts. I don’t always agree, but I enjoy reading someone elses point of view.

Google Reader keeps me updated and I keep reading because I like how your blog entries are realtive to things I’m interested in or things going on in my life!

I visit once a day. I keep coming back because I find people with different views than my own interesting.

Um…I check everyday. Except for a time there when Kyle was born, I was getting mastitis every weekend, and was generally out of commission, other than that…I check every single day.

I keep coming back to see your beautiful photographs, the Sunday posts, and now to see the new little one soon!

You’re on my google reader, which I read maybe 10 times a day. You’re a wonderful writer, with interesting points of view and firm beliefs but still an open mind - and that is a rare combination.

I read through Google Reader, and I generally check in to see if there are any new posts throughout the day. I keep coming back because 1) You’re shooting my sister’s wedding and I’ve got to keep tabs on you and 2) I’m fascinated by your life and the way you process the world around you. And I find your writing style engaging!

I read you every time you post. I have you in my blogger reader list.

I keep on reading because I am a stalker. JK. I find your point of view on life interesting, including religion and pregnancy topics. Plus I followed you on Weddingbee and just felt this was the way to go after that.

I have read since weddingbee and then found that wife. I always love seeing what you’re going to write about and check my google reader impatiently! I probably visit the site itself about once a week unless I want to comment or read the comments! Love That Wife!

everyday. I started following you when you were on weddingbee. I love following your blog because you write about what’s really going on in your life. Being a late 20something, I am married, contemplating children and feel like I have learned a lot from reading you talk about what you have been through. I have definitely learned a fair share about home births thanks to you and find the whole subject very ineresting.

I LOVE paloma’s nest! I love her work and she’s actually in the Austin area (where I live). I have always wanted to get one to hold my rings

I come to That Wife everyday (everytime you post really) - I have you on my google reader. I love your posts about photography as I’m a photographer myself.

Love this giveaway. I too read whenever a post pops up in my Google Reader. I started reading because you were an LDS bee! I keep reading because I like that you write about a variety of topics, and I like that you update frequently, but not too frequently.

Everyday! I love your honesty.

Daily. The combination of writing style and the range of issues keeps me addicted. I particularly appreciate your honesty and personal opinions.

I check in weekly or so and read posts in large batches. I keep coming back because I’ve found that I really like reading blogs from a wide variety of women living a wide variety of lives. Your world is quite far from my Catholic, Massachusetts one, and I much appreciate the insights I get to gain from it! (Plus I love pretty pictures.)

I put you in my Google Reader when I hired you to take photos for my wedding, and though I don’t always agree with you I like to hear what you have to say; I’m especially intrigued by your descriptions of Mormonism, having only known two Mormons before (I’m from a small town on the East Coast - it wasn’t very common!)

I check That Wife at least once a day, usually 2 or 3 times. I get really bored at work when it’s slow, and I check your blog very regularly, as well as OMGMom, DesignMom, and Design*Sponge. the other ones I check regularly are The Pioneer Woman, Silver Pencils, Soule Mama, Geek in Heels, and my family’s blogs.

I pretend I know all of you. I just like hearing about your lives. It’s like constant human-interest stories, which I just love. And I think you’re both argumentative and opinionated and at times naive, as well as kind and passionate and idealistic. And that’s an interesting blend, which is why I come back.

I love the pictures and the honesty. I love how you aren’t afraid to post things that may be seen as controversial.

I realized I didn’t say how often… almost every single day.

I have your blog in my google reader, which i read every single day. I love reading your blog because you have such an approachable writing style and because you write about so many different topics!

You’re in the reader- so if you post several times a day, I visit several times a day (although weekends are spottier for me). I read because I’ve never met anyone who was LDS (aside from the guys who come to the door occassionally) and because you post regularly.

Heh, maybe I should check out this Google Reader thing. I check TW every day. I enjoy the variety of subjects you post about, your musings on newlywed life, recipes and, of course, the stuff you share about being LDS. I only casually know any Mormons and really didn’t know much about the religion until I read about your wedding on WeddingBee.

P.S. I just wanted to answer the question; I absolutely love Paloma’s Nest stuff, but I don’t “need” anything right now and there’s probably someone else who wants the prize more than me.

Also, it is really nice of you to share your Tulle winnings with your readers. I was one of the people who said you should just keep the cash! You have a baby on the way and don’t make $ off this blog; I saw the Tulle winnings as a way for you to get something from us for once!

I should add that I, too, first read you on Weddingbee. Love that hive!

I check in almost daily. I love reading what you have to say and your photographs are awesome. There’s always some nugget of info that I take away from each post.

You’re in my reader, so I see you everyday. It was sooooo good to see you in real life today!! So good. Hopefully one day we will live close;)

I check in a couple times a week….you have interesting posts and I enjoy reading all of the discussions that come out of the topics you bring up. I also admire that you’re willing to delve into some pretty serious stuff that is controversial-that takes a lot o’ courage.

This is my favorite giveaway you’ve done by far…..I want one of these bowls oh so badly for my engagement (and soon-to-be-wedding) ring(s)!!

I just followed you over from WB and check in every other day or so to see how things are. I really feel that if I miss too many days I am really missing out on something good. Also, I love to look at your photo blog!

I visit That Wife about 3 times a week. I come back for all of your serious posts and definitely avoid the Sunday ones.

I check in every day to read your blog And, I keep coming back because you’re so open, candid, honest, and have a lovely writing style. Plus I really like photography so I’ve really enjoyed following your journey as a photographer

I got to know you over on wedding bee since you were a LDS bride like me and followed you over here and I read you once a day/every day when i get home and alwasy enjoy what your posting that day - I tell my DH about you and say your one of my friends..he actually gets it

Every day in my Google reader…I think you have a unique voice and I love reading about your everyday adventures.

I check you daily…because I heart you

I read everyday - you’re on my blog reader but I check in on the website from work and to see the photo updates on Jenna Cole. Followed you over from Weddingbee - not sure why ’cause we’re nothing alike - but you’re fun and easy to read!

I followed you over from weddingbee, and now I check your blog pretty much everyday. Your blog just keeps bringing me back. I think it’s because of the way you write, and how you always seem to write about interesting and sometimes controversial topics. At times I don’t agree but I still find it so interesting to read your posts and all the comments. I also love looking at your beautiful photography.

I read and check every day. I actually followed you from wedding bee. I really like your writing style and find your posts thought-provoking and interesting. Although I don’t always agree with you I keep coming back for more!

I came to your site right after your wedding, and sat down one night and read through all of your posts (wow that was a lot of them!) and have been coming back ever since. I check in daily on my RSS reader and enjoy reading about your adventures with marriage, the wedding, and now “that one”.

i read every time there’s a new post on my google reader to read! so, i pretty much check my reader every day or so.

i keep coming back because i like your point of view. lately, i’ve liked reading about home births - we are a long way from kids but i’m already debating whether i want a home birth. i’m thinking i do - i want freedom to do what i want!!

I have that wife on my google reader and enjoy reading your post so much. You are such a talented writer, i share most of your beliefs and enjoy the pregnancy posts.

You’re at the top of my Google Reader, so every day! I like reading about your perspective on so many things…and the fact that you have strong opinions on some issues keeps things interesting around here!

It’s in my google reader, so I check every day I like the fact that you are so honest and principled, and I love to hear about your relationship with your husband- it seems so strong- and it inspires me to do what I can to make my relationship more like that.

Every single day, as I check google reader multiple times a day. As for coming back? I think a big part is that you make me think. I’m LDS too, and you address LDS topics so well, in ways I don’t think I could. I even like when your posts get “controversial” (usually for things I wouldn’t have suspected causing that kind of stir), because you really stand up for your opinion, regardless of how mercilessly some people tear you down. You have courage, as a woman, a Mormon and a blogger.

Wow, this is an appropriate giveaway, as I’m about to order our ring bowl! Which I never would have known about if it wasn’t for That Bride, which introduced me to my base of wedding blogs.
I check in every day or so, unless I’m on a computer fast. I like reading because after all this time - such a long….year? ..i feel connected to you. I love learning about different faiths, and you’ve taught me so much, and I have always been passionate about birth choices, but haven’t needed to research it much yet. now i’ll just go back through your archives when my time comes!

Often daily, but then sometimes I’ll go a while and then read back through to “catch up.” Why… because I am hooked.

I subscribe via Google Reader! So whenever you update…and I check in with Jenna Cole recently. I keep coming back because…we are so different and yet so similar and I find it fascinating.

I check every day (or at least every day you post) since it comes to my google reader, and I’m quite the blog addict. It’s exceptionally rare that I go a whole day without clearing out my reader or at least clicking through to the interesting ones (which includes yours, m’dear).

As for why I read, there are a few reasons. I got hooked in the WB days, predominately because you were in the Dallas area. I enjoy your writing style and love your photography (obviously). Also, I’ve always had a lot of LDS friends but have never been brave enough to ask meaningful questions about their religion. While it’s certainly not a faith in alignment with my own beliefs, it’s fascinating and I enjoy learning about it from your viewpoint. Also, I totally want to be your friend, so reading your blog makes me feel like I am.

I have your blog on Google Reader, b/c I first encountered your posts on Weddingbee and I followed you. I like that you’re not afraid to voice your opinions and that you’re such a dedicated blogger. Keep it comin’!

It’s one of the only websites that I check every day - well, Monday - Friday. I don’t really do any computer stuff on the weekends! I just like you, so that’s probably why I like your blog

I subscribe to your RSS feed and I check that every day, so pretty much I read you every day I keep coming back because of the diversity: babies, cooking, photography, religion, marriage, etc. I started reading you at That Bride when I was planning my own wedding and followed you to That Wife. I like your open, honest style and that you’re not afraid of giving your opinion. I also REALLY enjoy the posts about photography as I am a budding photographer myself

I’m too late for the giveaway by about 15 minutes (boo for me, lol) but I just wanted to let you know that I read pretty much everyday and I keep coming back because you’re so awesome. You were always one of my Bee crushes and reading your blog has been awesome because you’ve taught me so much about birth, photography, your religion, and so many other things.
