I am so excited!
It's a big week here at Exquisitely Unremarkable and I can't wait to tell you why!
First of all, it was during this week, last March, that I hit the publish button on my first post.
This week marks my one year blog anniversary.
I think that's a thing, right?
Well, if it isn't, it should be, so woo hoo!
I actually cannot believe it, can you?
My goodness, that was a fast year.
Of course, none of it would mean a thing without you. I'd like to thank everyone who has come by to read my posts.
I'm humbled and honored by each and every visit, comment and feature.
It's been so much more than I ever expected when I wrote my first post 365 days ago. So thank you, thank you, thank you!
My second bit of exciting news is that I'm now a contributor at Parade Magazine and, very coincidentally, my first article is there today.
For a writer, it's a thrilling way to spend an anniversary, that's for sure.
If you are looking for a really cute way to dress your front door for spring with a floral rain boot, head to Parade and be sure to leave me a comment there and let me know what you think.
You can also check out some of my other Parade features while you're there:
Lots of great ideas.
And thanks again for a truly wonderful year!
