It's my First Blogiversary!  On March 3, 2012 I wrote my very first blog post, even though I didn't really know what a blog was and had no idea what to write.  Here I am a year later with almost 100 posts under my belt and having a great time! I'm so glad I took the leap and met so many writerly friends who teach me everyday about writing, inspiration, and parenting.

Look at those fists clenched in anticipation!

I gave myself some new tabs (look by the header) as a blogiversary gift!  Ooh!  Aah!  I know I really go all out on celebrations! (sidenote- my husband and I gave eachother bowling balls for our wedding, which are still awesome!)  Hey, I'm only one year old, y'know, so it's still baby steps around here. 


Did you bake me a cake?  No?  Well, thank goodness I baked my own Happy Blogiversary cake.  It took me all morning to make this wild, burn-your-eyes-out-if-you-stare-at-it-too-long technicolor cake:

Happy Blogiversary Badge! by Lauri Meyers



What? You want a goody bag?  Geesh...well I would be happy to make you a Happy Blogiversary badge with your anniversary date - just give me a comment with your desired date (and preferred text/frame color if you aren't comfortable with hot pink.)  Thank my lovely friend Romelle for the idea (btw, Romelle, the cake nearly matches your Casey Chameleon cover!)

I gotta go throw some confetti now!  Please send me your anniversary dates so I can spread the love and thank all of you for visiting!
