Wahoo! This January marks my one year blogging anniversary.
There is huge difference from my very first post about our family’s mini-vacation to the mountains to my latest Target shopping adventure with my three little greenwoods.
But one thing has stayed the same. My desire to live this stay-at-home mama life to the fullest and to share all our family fun, partying, and projects with you.
My Happy House post about newly painted black shutters and a bright very red front door was a favorite. Who knew the color red would get the most comments of any project I shared? Or maybe it was this sweet girl’s face?
Definitely the most pinned posts were all about the partying!
Since their birthdays are only a week apart, the boys always share a party. Of course they didn’t want the same party.
So Big Boy got a Minecraft party with a DIY Ghast Piñata.
And Little Boy asked for pirates. Especially a pirate ship cake!
Tootsie’s three year old birthday was all about partying on a budget with Princess Sofia.
From the easy to create decorations…
To the simple party crafts and favors…
And the yummy food. 
I may have loved this party more than Tootsie. Wonder what fun themes I can come up with for next year’s celebrations?
My favorite post was this sweet Rock-a-Baby Corner in Tootsie’s bedroom. Time with my little ones is fleeting. This spot helps me to hold on to their sweetness a bit longer.
There’s big plans in the works for this room. I just might finish it this year!
Thank you so much to each of you who are following. Especially my family and sweet friends who have been tagging along from the beginning.
Hugs and Happy New Year!

I have not been blogging that long, but I too have loved this journey. I still have so much to learn and I hope 2014 brings many new blogging adventures my way!
Blogging is fun isn’t it? I’m determined to make a go of it this year with lots of fun projects and posts.
Awesome job on the lockers and your Rain on a Tin Roof feature! Can’t wait to see what you have in store!

Congrats on your first year, looks like you’ve got it mastered, your graphics are terrific. Best wishes for the new year and the future of your blog!
Thanks Dawn! Blogging is fun but there is so much to learn (especially the technical stuff – yuck!). Hope you are warm and cozy up in Columbia!

Hi Ashley! February will mark my one-year too- hard to believe. The only down side to that is that life seems to have sped up in the past year because of being so busy with so many different things, but the best part about blogging is the opportunity to ‘meet’ and interact with other people who love the same kind of stuff you do! Congrats on your upcoming one year- looking forward to seeing what you share in 2014:)
I loved your party posts! Congrats on your blogiversary! Such a proud moment.
I’m close to me 2 year blogiversary! Crazy!
