My 5 Year Blogaversary!

Since I still wasn't feeling well, I did not get this posted in time. But let's pretend like I did {I'll even backdate it} - LOL! So that means YESTERDAY TODAY is my 5 Year Blogaversary!!! Woo Hoo!!! That's like...1/20th of a century! :)


It's an amazing feeling to have been blogging for 5 years! That's a long time to keep up with something, especially for me! I think that might even be an example of my 2013 One Word: Diligence! :) How many posts is that? Well, with blogging breaks and all, it comes out to 943 published posts. Getting close to 1000 - yay!

Thank you for being here and for reading my blog!! Without you, I wouldn't be here. Really. Just knowing that somebody is out there reading {even if you don't comment!} helps me to keep on going. I truly appreciate you.

I thought it would be fun to share a few past posts in groups of 5 to reflect back a little. And yes, I thought 5 groups of 5 would be cool, but I thought it was just too much - so I went with 3. You're welcome. :)

5 Top-Viewed Posts {That aren't recipes or giveaways}
Always interesting to look back at what's been written. What kinds of posts might be written in the next 5 years? I really don't know! Maybe we can find out together! :)

Time for a surprise giveaway in honor of my Blogaversary! Aren't you glad you read all the way down to here?! To help you stop and smell the chocolates - one sweet reader will win the following...

Whether or not you're entering the giveaway, I'd love to read your comments on any feedback you have if you've been following along here for a while. 

Or tell me about a favorite post I did, or a series that you liked, or a recipe that you found here and use all the time! 

If you're new here {or even if you're not!} - what do you see that makes you want to come back again?  

Thanks again for reading my blog and making 5 years possible! Hugs to all!! :)

Are you a blogger or do you want to start a blog? Start one now or restart one or post more on the blog you have! If I can stick around for 5 years, then I know you can manage a few blog posts! You can do it! :)

This makes Post 7 of my 22-post challenge, though I'm off by a day so will have to double up somewhere!

Have a blessed day friends!

  1. Happy Blogoversary my friend. Yay!! I've probably read and commented on at least 80% of those posts. LOL!
    You know I always loved your Tea for Tuesday or whatever it was called. LOL!
    Big I think blog years are like dog years and if that's the case you're in your prime size hugs to you.
    Hoping you're feeling better.
    HUGS!

    1. I commented before I read the rafflecopter question. LOL! I've been reading for almost as long as you've been blogging.

  2. Happy Blogiversary my friend. I will join you in the 5 years of blogging in July. I am pretty sure I found your blog early on, so I am going to say I've been reading you forever. I love you, love that I got to meet you in person and love your blog.

    Now about Rafflecopter, since you asked, I only like it if the entries are minimal. But when I click on the first entry, and there drop downs like 20 other entires, well, I get all ADHD and leave the page. It makes me nervous!

    Have a beautiful day!

  3. Congrats on the 5 years and so not an entry :) Still need to meet up with you since you are local. But I understand with life being busy. I need to bake more things for my monkeys.
