Today is my 1 year blogaversary. I can hardly believe it! In some ways it seems like I have been blogging for years and in others I feel like I am still a newbie. So in celebration of this monumentous occasion (ha ha!) here are thirteen random blog tidbits about me.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. This is not my first blog. I had a blog<\/a> almost three years ago during my husband’s deployment. It was very different from this blog as I used it mainly as a way to keep him updated on our family.<\/li>\n
  2. My site didn’t always look so fun! In the beginning my site looked sort of like this…<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. My first blog post was short and sweet. It went something like this\n
    \n
    \n

    After a year break, I have decided to blog again. I have left my old blog<\/a> behind and am starting with a new look. I have nothing against my old blog, I am just ready for something different. My last blog was more of a diary. I hope for this blog to be less personal and more practical.<\/p>\n

    Happy reading and thanks for stopping by.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

  4. The Happy Housewife was not my first choice for a blog title. I can’t remember what my first choice was, but THH was probably choice #58…. In real life I am pretty grouchy :). Kidding….just kidding…<\/li>\n
  5. My first real comment (that I could find) was from Barbara Lee. <\/a>She was probably one of my first regular readers as well.<\/li>\n
  6. I have written 696 posts (not counting this one). Can someone say “Get off the Computer!”<\/li>\n
  7. Seriously though, what did I do before I started blogging? I don’t really remember, I still read, sew, cook, and homeschool so I am not quite sure what I gave up to make time for this…<\/li>\n
  8. I have never received a nasty comment! Can you believe it, I can’t?<\/li>\n
  9. I have received 6,206 nice, intelligent and thoughtful comments. My readers are the best!<\/li>\n
  10. My most popular post, not sure… Boys and Books<\/a> received the most comments.<\/li>\n
  11. Since starting this blog I have been introduced to an entire new vocabulary; twitter, stumble, digg, delicious, Mr. Linky, memes, I could go on and on.<\/li>\n
  12. In June I launched another blog, Happy to be at Home<\/a> with two of my bloggy buddies, Kate <\/a>and Joy.<\/a> Contrary to popular belief we are not related to one another and we have never actually met!<\/li>\n
  13. I really, really, really appreciate my readers. I know I don’t respond to every comment (I try!) but I do read every one. I have met<\/em> so many other wonderful bloggers and nonbloggers this year and have learned so much from this experience. I wouldn’t blog if it wasn’t fun, so thanks for keeping it enjoyable!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
