Blogaversary! Pink Lady is 19 Years Old!

 

 

 Hi Friends!  June 21st marked 19 years for my little corner of the internet here!  So I am celebrating my Blogaversary!  Woohoo!

 

First and foremost, I want to thank YOU for visiting...for your support over the years...your comments and private emails...I appreciate them all and I love this community and wonderful friends I have made over the last 19 years here.  I would say my strongest community here has actually come from the last 7/8 years really...

 

Since I started writing this blog, so much has changed and developed in our lives.  We started out as a blended family- Rob, three kids and me the wife and stepmom.  We had Bambi, our English Bulldog, and we lived on the other side of town.

 

Then, Diana was born.  She was the magic that brought us even closer together.

 

We have changed jobs and moved across town to our dream home with my in-laws.

 

We later added Eva to our family and our family was complete!

 

Later on, we adopted Remi and he has brought so much joy to our lives.

 

We lost my My Mother In Law and we have been through heart-wrenching and stressful times but most of our days have been beautiful and I have tried to capture it all and be as real as possible on this little blog.

 

I thank you for following along :) 

 

My very first post was about graduations- Ally's 8th Grade Graduation and Kayla's High School Graduation- our family has changed so much since then! 

 

Here are my most visited posts from the last 19 years...buckle up shall we?
