Happy First Birthday …. to my blog!

 

I can hardly believe it has been a year since I launched this blog! It was a dream for so long and then after some encouragement, mostly from my husband, I decided I wanted to take a leap of faith and launch a blog. I remember there were days when I was super excited about it and then there were days I was scared, thinking no one will read it so whats the point but I didn’t let me fear stop me. I worked hard for months with my web designer (who is awesome by the way) and together we created my site and I absolutely love how it turned out! My blog is very special and important to me. It is the place where I can be creative and use my love for fashion and decorating to create something. It has also been a great way for me to connect with other woman and mamas which I absolutely love doing! It hasn’t been easy but nothing in life that you really want ever is! It has been a year of growing technically and personally but growth is good, sometimes painful, but I would much rather be growing than not! I have big dreams for my blog and this next year I will continue to work hard and I am excited to see what comes from my hard work and big dreams! In honour of my first birthday I wanted to do something for you, my readers, because without you my blog is just a bunch of words and pictures. As a thank you for being so awesome I have teamed up with 3 of my absolute favourite shops to offer some giveaways!
