I’m Celebrating 9 Years of Blogging with #BloggersFete 2015!

Nine years ago when I hit “publish” on my first blog post, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I knew nothing about HTML or SEO. I didn’t really read any other blogs. I liked taking pictures, but I’d never tried photo editing. All I knew was that I was a writer and this was a space to write.

Over the last nine years, this blog has grown and changed with me. It has taken me to conferences like Women of Faith in Seattle and BlogHer14 in San Jose. It has introduced me to other great bloggers, like the lovely ladies who are hosting this party with me. It has become my part-time job, a way to earn a bit of extra money while staying home with my daughters. And it has always been my creative space, a place for me to share my thoughts and writing and stay sane.

BloggersFete 2015 giveaways!

This month, I’m celebrating those nine years with BloggersFete 2015. I want to celebrate the brands whom I’ve had a chance to work with in the past few years and YOU, my amazing readers. I wouldn’t be here today without you. Seriously, if my blog were still just read by my husband and my mom, I think I would’ve given it up a long time ago. So thank you for reading and making this space possible for me.
