To celebrate, there's going to be lots of ice cream to eat, lots of confetti to throw, and an awesome giveaway to enter! But to start things off, I'm going to be sharing some of my favorite blogging memories from the past year. So please read on :)


FAVORITE BLOGGING MEMORIES


First Follower on Wordpress Blog: My sister, Katy! Thanks Katy! <3333

First Follower once I transferred my blog over to Blogger: Abbiee. Thank you so much!

First Comment: Tashia. Thanks, Tashia! You made my day with that comment!!!


I successfully transferred my blog from Wordpress over to Blogger! Although I lost ALL of my old followers (I was up to 58) from worpress, I gained so many new ones!

Abbiee helped me understand blogger A LOT better and recommended the template I'm using now! Thanks, Abbiee!!

I'd like to thank my family and a certain friend for encouraging me to start a blog and stick with it. There were some days I just didn't want to do it anymore, but they convinced me to keep up with it. Thank y'all! <3

    Congratulations Maddy!!!!! I’m so happy for you! I can relate to those days where sometimes you just don’t feel like blogging anymore, but I’m so glad you stuck with it! It is such a blessing to me and truly is a bit of sunshine in my day! I’m so excited for the giveaway too, I don’t know what I’d do if I won! Happy Blogiversary!!

      THANK YOU LYDIA!! <333 This comment just put a big smile on my face!!!

      And to answer your question, YES YES YES!!!! I don't have ANY regrets about moving. Blogger has better templates for less money, it allows you to upload as many pictures and videos as you want, it doesn't have ads, and there are probably tons more good things I could say about it, but I'll just leave it at that :)
      If you decide to transfer your blog, I'd be happy to answer any of your questions <3

    Congratulations!!! I enjoy reading your blog - especially hearing that you brush Gideon's teeth! :D I work for a veterinarian and I heard that only about 1-2% of pet owners regularly brush their pet's teeth - good job!!! :)

    Your blog name sounds really familiar, but somehow I don't really remember reading it? Maybe I followed you on WordPress? I don't remember. I'm followed now, at any rate :D

    Anyhowwwwww, congratulations on hitting one year! That's a huge milestone!!
