On Wednesday, I published my 1,000th blog post, and reaching that milestone has made me feel both reflective and nostalgic. I wrote my very first blog post on January 3, 2010. You can read it here. Back then, it was hosted on Blogspot, and I named it “Our Daily Bread” on a whim.
It is very clear that I did not have much of a plan when I started blogging. That first post did not even include a photo. The first picture I ever published is something I still can hardly believe I shared. I cannot bring myself to post it here, but you can see it here. OMG.
When I began, I never imagined that blogging would become my full-time job or that Happy Healthy Mama would grow and change the way it has. Meghan was only 15 months old when I started blogging, and now she is 9. Luke was not even here yet. In many ways, I have lived my 30s through this blog. I am grateful to have this space as a record of our family life, our healthy living journey, and the many lessons learned along the way.
