First of all, I CANNOT BELIEVE that I have been blogging for 10 years- 10 years!
I needed to celebrate this blessed occasion and decided to do a look back AND a little giveaway! I appreciate all of my followers and readers and have been able to connect with so many other wonderful ladies across the country because of this little blog.
It has been such a fun outlet and often times, such a source of support. I am so so grateful!
So...I have aged...plain and simple
Me...10 years ago...THEN
and me NOW
But as I always say...Age is a State of Mind!
I blog now, 4-5 times/week, and it is really a great way to start my day...as I sip my coffee of course!
My first post was on June 21, 2007
I posted about Kayla's (Stepdaughter #1) graduation from high school and Ally's (Stepdaughter #2) graduation from middle school.
(and I apologize for the blurry pics from back then- I got better with photo editing as the years went on!)
As the years went on, some of my posts ended up being the most read and favorites of my readers as well. Those posts include.....
We Are Expecting!
We announced that we were pregnant with Diana.
You can see the big kids' reaction on Christmas morning- I will never forget it!
The Arrival of Eva Teresa!
You guys are always such fans of the recipes I share too. Your favorites however?
Dr. Pepper Crockpot Ribs- so many hits on my post AND on Pinterest- I love it! Check the recipe out HERE
and Jimmy Fallon's Crockpot Chili. Check the recipe out HERE
The most hits, I have received however, have been on the fun linkup parties which makes sense. The most hits I have received were on my Show and Tell Tuesday, Friday Favorites and What's Up Wednesday posts. You can find them all in the timeline on the right. I have been participating in these linkups for the past few years and they are the reason why my blog has grown and I have connected with so many amazing people!
This one had the most hits ever.
It is Show and Tell Tuesday "Home Tour Edition!"
I was excited that you all wanted to see my home- I am so happy here so I love to share!
Ok SO NOW....I want to reward one of my loyal readers with a fun little giveaway!

Who couldn't use a few dollars for a pair of flip flops or summer essentials...am I right?
Also, right now, Nordstrom is offering my lucky readers an extra little something! You can receive 16% off of some women's apparel and accessories if you visit Nordstrom HERE
