When I started this blog three years ago, I never imagined that within a year I would publish a cookbook. I also didn’t expect that after two years of posting recipes I’d build lasting partnerships with brands I adore.
Reaching the three-year mark feels emotional and celebratory — a reminder of how far this little corner of the internet has come.
Last year I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was 30 weeks pregnant and uncertain how blogging would fit into our growing family life. I worried it might be something I’d have to let go of because of time and energy constraints.
A year later, somehow I’ve managed to keep sharing my love of almond extract, oatmeal cookies, an unhealthy number of sprinkles, and all kinds of cakes. I’ve posted roughly one recipe a week, ramped up content during December’s cookie-heavy season, collaborated with brands I love, reached one million total page views, and even broke my personal record for monthly traffic — all while adjusting to life with a small child.
Speaking of that small human, he’s doing wonderfully and growing quickly — and I am so grateful the newborn phase is behind us.
I truly have all of you to thank for keeping this space alive — for reading, baking, pinning, sharing, and encouraging me. Your support means everything. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart and my mixing bowl.
