It feels like my blog should be older than three.
Don’t get me wrong – it’s not that I don’t love blogging. It’s just that so much has happened in three years.
It’s humbling to look back at how SS&GF has grown. And, really, how I’ve grown too because this little blog is an extension of who I am in so many ways.
I still remember writing my first post, pushing ‘publish,’ and wondering if anyone would read it. (No one did.) And, Joe often reminds me how excited I was when I got my first comment and when Linda from The Gluten-Free Homemaker invited me to join her linky party.
He reminds me, too, how I thought that I’d hit it big when I finally had 100 subscribers.
I never dreamed I’d write a book, co-found a popular, collaborative blog or a food blogger conference. Nor did I think I’d have the most supportive, loving circle of girlfriends. (Love you ladies so very much!!!!!!)
I most certainly didn’t think I’d ever be so moved by the love and support of my readers. You continue to touch my heart in a deep way.
For obvious reasons, my blog birthday sends me into thoughts of gratitude.
Will you help me celebrate my 3rd year by sharing three things you’re grateful for?
I’ll start:
- Nate, my love, my heart and soul
- I get to be a work-at-home mommy
- My devoted husband who is also the most involved and supportive father
Wishing all of us many more years of sharing and growing together!
Much love,
Amy
