I started this little venture a year ago today! Who knew I’d make it a week on this thing, let alone a year?! I put a lot of thought—well, some thought—into how I would celebrate.
I’m too busy for a give away, and I’m not creative enough to make something. So, I give you a year in review!
It all started with a mailbox. One for each kid.
Then I organized.
I decorated.
And decorated!
I celebrated.
And I daydreamed.
Regardless of what did happen this year, I know that I wouldn’t have continued blogging had I not met and befriended some wonderful people. Someone who doesn’t blog will never be able to relate to the fulfillment that it gives us, and sadly they will never appreciate all the amazing and inspiring women it exposes us to. Thank you for a fantastic year!!!
Paige says
Happy one-year anniversary to you! Can’t wait to see what the next year holds for you.
Blessings!

Has it been a YEAR? WOW – that went by quick didn’t it?! You had me at hello Oprah – I knew I loved your blog the day you posted about your garage shelf all organized and color coordinated and that we would be blogger friends for life.

And to think you thought no one would read your blog(me rolling my eyes)
Love, Gayle
