Hey guys, guess what? Today is a BIG DAY! My not so tiny blog is seven! Seven years ago, I took a leap and started this blog, never imagining the journey it would take me on. It feels like just yesterday I hit “publish” on my first post, and now, here we are—celebrating seven years of sharing stories, trials and tribulations, food, crafts, parties laughter, tears and so many more incredible experiences with all of you!
Reflecting on these past years, there are some pinch-me moments I still can’t believe actually happened. One of my most recent highlights? Attending the Inside Out movie premiere with Ivy, who’s only 10! Watching her face light up as we walked the red carpet together is a memory I’ll always cherish. Another dream come true was a few years back taking my family on a Disney Cruise to the Bahamas, a trip sponsored by Disney that made it possible to explore the magic on the high seas.
Then there are the moments that might seem small but are still huge to me, like hitting 100k followers on Instagram—it felt like one of the biggest accomplishment in the world. And recently, I crossed a new milestone: my first reel reaching over 1 million views! It’s such a thrill to know that so many of you are enjoying and sharing the content I create.
I’ve also had the opportunity to share my voice in new spaces, like appearing on local news to talk about the hottest toys for Christmas, being featured on Good Morning America, and even seeing my face on Oprah’s website. These experiences have all been amazing, but truly, what makes them even more special is having all of you here, cheering me on.
As I celebrate this 7-year anniversary, I want to say how thankful and grateful I am for each and every one of you. Your support and encouragement keep me motivated to keep creating and pushing myself to bring you even better content. And trust me, the best is yet to come—I have big plans in the works for something exciting and new coming in 2025, and I can’t wait to share it with you all.
Here’s to seven incredible years of growth, learning, and unforgettable moments! Cheers to many more!
