Happy Blogiversary to Me!

I am super excited to have reached my first Blogiversary! Not that I didn’t think I would make it a whole year, but I didn’t realize I’d have so much going!

I woke up this morning and was like, “Holy smokes it’s my Blogiversary! I gotta get a post up!!”  Blogging is definitely a labor of love and I truly love it. And I’m not just talking about the amazing blog trip I had the pleasure of being invited to by Always and Procter & Gamble; getting to attend conferences on blogging {Bloggy Bootcamp w/the Sits Girls, Blissdom and WordCamp}  -thanks to my hubs), the wonderful new friends I’ve made thru blogging and the professional experience I am gaining as an owner of my own little space of online real-estate.

AMAZING!

I’m really having a great time blogging!

Some of the awesome things to come about in my first year of blogging:

I’m a Brand Ambassador!!

Hello Huggies!

The aforementioned #AcessPG trip in June, awesome Reviews & Giveaways, and the awesome 6 month blog opp with Shaklee180! And the fabulous sponsored posts from social media companies I am a part of.

It’s been an amazing year and I’m so glad that you’ve come along with me. I still consider my blog a work in progress but I am loving learning about the blogging process, the promoting and learning how to build myself as a brand. Candypolooza, is a Military Family Lifestyle blog, but you know I like to write about everything, so it’ll always be well seasoned with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I hope you’ll keep reading because I’ve got great things in store!

Many thanks to each of you!!
