Three Year Blogiversary + $50 Visa Gift Card Giveaway

Three years ago today I published my first ever post on this here blog. I'm kind of astonished at how much things in my own life, and on this blog have changed since then. When this first post was written three years ago, Derek and I were only engaged, waiting another 22 days to actually be married. We had no intention of having kids in the first three years of marriage, but have found ourselves baby hungry and not only have one bundle of joy, but another on the way.

We've moved 5 times, and have lived in two different states- Utah, and North Carolina. Neither of us had a college degree three years ago, and now I am a certified dental assistant, I have an Associates of Science from BYUI, and Derek will have his Bachelor's finished at the end of December.

When this blog first started it was simply a journal for all the fun things we would do as a family. I had no idea that it would develop into a food blog, and then a style blog, and then me being nominated for top southern parent blog, and even something that could provide a very small part-time income for our family.

I'm so grateful for all my readers, friends, and family, for all of their support. Without you guys, this blog would cease to exist in the manner in which it does. As a big heartfelt thank you, I'm giving away a $50 Visa Gift Card to one of my readers! Giveaway will run for two weeks, starting today, and end on 7/14/14 at 11:59pm EST. You can enter below using the Rafflecopter and winner will be notified via e-mail within 24 hours of the giveaway closing.
