Blogiversary Weekend: Our Favorite Posts
November 19, 2011
A whole slew of stuff has happened to us in the 12 months since our last Blogiversary. Just over a week after the blogiversary date last year, we discovered that we were pregnant, and it’s been one heck of a roller coaster since then!
As part of our blogiversary celebration we wanted to share with you some of our favorite posts of the last 12 months.
Luis’ pick: LIVE: Baby Gender Reveal
- Written by: the Mertinsos
- Dated: March 12, 2011
Luis: Announcing the gender of our baby LIVE over the web was definitely a risky move. We could have just been talking to ourselves. Fortunately, we had about 15 people (not a whole lot, but still) tune in, making it an epically awesome undertaking. Hopefully we can do something like this again in the future!
Natalia’s pick: Hardwired
- Written by: Natalia
- Dated: February 2, 2011
Luis: Natalia, can you please give me a comment for your favorite post, so I can publish this sucker and move on with our lives?
Natalia: Lulu, I have no desire to commentary whatsoever. I’m so like, NOT into it.. it makes me want to throw up.
Luis: Okay! Jeez.
Honorable Mention:
We both went through all the posts of the past 12 months, together, and had ourselves some really good laughs. So we bring to you, our list of honorable mentions:
- Infomercials (Videos)
- Reddventures Part 3: Taboo Topics (Video)
- Putting away Christmas (Video)
- AUDIO: Our first audio post (Audio; our big baby announcement)
- AUDIO: What to blog about? (Audio)
- Just dance (Video)
- Luis is a drama queen
- Someone didn’t get the memo (General Conference choir)
- AUDIO: Portuguese Schmortugues (Audio)
Blogiversary Weekend: Year in Stats
November 18, 2011
Last year, I shared a little bit about our stats, so I thought I’d do the same this year:
I must admit, knowing that all of our numbers have improved makes me giddy like school girl before prom. (Okay, that was a stretch.)
How are we doing internationally this year? Well, see for yourself…
Out of all these countries, I’m only aware of people we know living in the US (of course), Brazil, and Honduras… Hmm.
Anywho, stay tuned for some more blogiversary-filled posts as blogiversary week(end) continues!
Happy blogiversary?
November 17, 2011
I had just arrived home late from a church meeting. I was so tired and hungry, that i picked up Taco Bell just before coming home.
As I sit there eating my chalupa, and Natalia munches on her Lucky Charms… I remembered something.
Luis: Today is the 17th right?
Natalia: Yah.
Luis: Do you remember what today is?
Natalia: The 17th?
Luis: HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY!
Natalia: Oh, that. Well, it’s not like we consistently blog anymore.
Luis: No we don’t. But we need to get it going again.
Natalia: I know. Maybe for our blogiversary we can do one of our back-and-forth banter posts… the ones we’re famous for.
My mind had quickly jumped to something completely different. Without missing a beat, I responded:
Luis: Can I tell you how disappointed I was that there were no fresh baked cookies when I got home?
A typical conversation in the Mertinso household.
HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY to all our loyal readers! Expect a special blogiversary post tomorrow (chock full of fun numbers and stuff, like last year).
The Unveiling
September 14, 2011
The moment you’ve all been waiting for has arrived! (Really, you probably haven’t and will probably not care, but let me make a big deal about this, will you?)
The grand unveiling of Graciela’s cartoon face is here! (A hush falls over the crowd)
Anyhow, without further ado… here she is:
Thoughts? Comments? Critiques?
This little angel will be joining Natalia and I on our blog heading SOON.
PS. This is Mertinso.com’s 1000th post.
Google Reader… in Plain English
April 19, 2011
It has become apparent to me that not everyone uses Google Reader. I believe that is because they either don’t know about it, or don’t know what it does. So, for those of you out there in the blogging world, here’s in intro to Google Reader (which is vastly superior to whatever means of reading blogs you use… seriously).
If you aren’t using it… start TODAY!! Add us to your Google Reader by using THIS feed:

In other news… if you haven’t joined up on the site in the side bar… we’re gonna start calling you out BY NAME. Like I said, it won’t be pretty. :)
Dear Commenters
April 16, 2011
I’m SO sorry that your comments have somehow ended up in the Spam folder. I can’t possibly see why my filter identified them as such. Allow me to appropriately respond to your KIND KIND, HEARTFELT, and nicely ARTICULATED and WRITTEN comments.
Dear Mr. Covers,
Thank you for reading our blog. I’m glad that my post about a HUGE OVERCOMPENSATING truck made you think. Thank you.
Dear Mr. Enlargment,
First, let me thank you for the hundreds and HUNDREDS of comments you’ve left on my blog that have unfortunately been sent to the Spam folder. My sincerest apologies. I was planning on making my blogiversary post head to “some dull old publish” but decided a sharp new publish was the way to go.
Thank you.
Dear Ms. Paketrsor, greetings!
I’m sorry that at your office your obviously being watched like a hawk. I imagine that you’re trying to comment on my blog as the guards/security in your office are between shifts… otherwise, you’d have absolutely NO time to write… nonetheless! I truly appreciated you commenting on my “bunch of really good stuff.” Thanks!
Regards, Mr. Mertinso.
Dear Mr. Extrusion,
If you’d like to read more from me, have I got the website for YOU! It’s… http://mertinso.com .. you’lll be able read UNIQUE and EFFECTIVE THOUGHT PROCESSES … like how to properly replace TOILET PAPER!
Thank you.
Dear Mrs. Tarver,
Great day to YOU!. I’m glad my “document” on the really HUGE truck was able to “occupy” you. I shall “continue it up.”
Thank for your support.
