I always forget my blog’s anniversary. Every year when April rolls around, I think maybe I’ll do a giveaway or write a special post but every year the end of the month comes and I realize I completely forgot.
This year, I managed to only forget by one day. Yesterday, April 16th, was the sixth anniversary of this blog. I cannot even comprehend this. The post you are now reading is the 1,522nd published post on this site.
So, in 6 years:
- I’ve had one child and 3 jobs.
- This was my first ever post. (My photos and my sewing were pretty terrible back then).
- I’ve taken a total of 25 trips, including overnights and a weekend here and there.
- I’ve posted 237 recipes.
- I’ve made 40 quilts (and quilted things like table runners).
- I’ve read 1,467 books. Mostly picture books, and there are a few more from this year’s tally that I’ve neglected to enter in yet.
Plus too many other things to list here. Six years is a lot of life to collect in one place. Here’s hoping for at least another six!
You’re the one collecting the life. We’re just looking at little pieces of it. (What we can see looks pretty good, though.)
Congratulations on six years of entertaining and informative posts. (I remembered the Maggie’s coasters post.) So many people must feel like they have lived your life along with you!
I am looking forward to many more years of The Orange Room. And I am very curious about your new blog design.
Love ya!
