I can't believe that it has been one year since I started up my blog. I decided to start up this blog to motivate me to finally write down and share some of my travel stories and pictures as well as get projects done around my house. Although I haven't written up as many of my travels as I would like, it has been great fun for me to reminisce as I go back through my photos to pick out photos for my Picture of the Day. On the home front I've gotten a lot done and it is neat to look back at some of my posts to see where things stood as some of my projects started.
Over the past year I've posted 285 blog posts and 339 pictures of the day (yeah, I missed a few days...) and I thought that to celebrate I would do a look back at some of my posts.
My First Post
The first post that I wrote was about a wedding cake that I had made for some friends. In the past year they have since welcomed a little girl to their family which is wonderfully exciting.
Favorite Home Post
My favorite home post is probably the recap about finishing my bathroom. It was so rewarding to look back over all of the projects and see the final result put together.
Favorite Away Post
For my favorite away post I would have to pick my overnight adventure to Banaue in the Philippines with Trisha. We had such a fun time and I'm glad that I actually wrote the story down.
Hardest Post to Write
Hands down the hardest post for me to write was about my struggles moving back to the U.S. after living in Japan. It was really personal and I debated about posting it. In the end it was something I wanted to write for myself and I am glad that I shared it here.
Over the next year I want to write up more of my travels (I barely posted anything about my trips to Italy and Panama this past year) and I want to put together a home tour as well.
Do you have any posts that you particularly enjoyed? Did you try any of my projects? Thank you so much for stopping by over the past year. It really means a lot to me to see people reading and enjoying my blog.
