Happy 2 Year Blogiversary, Oats & Rows!

Happy birthday, Oats & Rows!

Two years ago on this very day, I purchased my domain and launched Oats & Rows.  Just a few days later, my very first post went live, which still happens to be my favorite smoothie of all time.  The first year of blogging was eye-opening.  I truly felt lost with everything I had to learn.  I felt like I was sitting in an advanced foreign language class with absolutely no experience.  On O&R’s first birthday, I wrote a lot about what I learned through this silly Kristen Wiig-inspired post.

The majority of everything I wrote about in my post about my first year of blogging still applies to the second year.  I still freak out when I receive a comment from another human and not a spammer.  I still struggle sticking to my content calendar and finishing up posts late at night when I am dozing off is never a good thing.  I still don’t always remember to photograph my food for the blog.  I could keep rambling on about what I still need to work on.  That’s one of the reasons I love blogging.  It’s my creative outlet and the learning process, even though can be challenging, is the fun part.

I really am thankful for this little space of mine and for all of you reading out there.  It means so much to me!

I’ll end this post with a Kristen Wiig GIF, because why not?

 

Be sure to be on the lookout for details later this week about a GIVEAWAY!
