Happy Anniversary, Little Blog

By Lindsayleighbentley @lindsayLbentley

Woah.

It’s been a year already?

home-brewed strawberry kombucha

One year since I wrote my first post here.

It’s been a ton of fun and a ton of work and I feel like I’m just getting started.

When I first started writing I wasn’t sure I wasn’t sure if a anyone but my mom would read my blog.  And now, having just surpassed 270,000 views, I’m amazed and humbled that so many of you have stuck around.

Thank you so much for your support.  Thank you for sharing my thoughts with others.  Thank you for your comments, even if i haven’t been able to reply, I read every one of them and they mean so much to me.

I’m so excited about the future.  Just a few days ago I wrote this post that I feel has really freed me to make this blog what I want it to be.  To keep it honest and real and something that I enjoy doing; and hopefully, something that you will continue to enjoy reading.

I’ve compiled a list of my very favorite posts from the past year, I hope there are a few that resonate with you!
