TheSuburbanMom’s 1st Birthday!

One year ago I had an idea. Apparently, I had a good idea because a year later I am still going strong and more and more people are following my blog. It’s TheSuburbanMom’s birthday, but I have to thank everyone who reads this blog for making it what it is. Every person who subscribes, comments, follows on Facebook and/or Twitter and even everyone who reads just one post encourages me to do more!

I wrote my first post on July 27, 2010 and since then I have written 740 posts (741 including this post). Nearly 7,500 people read nearly 19,000 pages on TheSuburbanMom monthly. Over the weekend I surpassed 1,000 Twitter followers, and on Facebook my “likers” are nearly 750 strong. Plus I now have a bestselling book! Wheew! Much love to you all!

This has been a fun year, and I am so excited to look toward the future. In addition to a new look for the site (coming soon!), lots more giveaways, deals galore, reviews and more DIY projects I have much more planned up my sleeve. This is only the beginning!

To celebrate TheSuburbanMom’s readers on its birthday this week I will be giving away Jewelry and product from my favorite place to shop for memories. PLUS – there are three wonderful giveaways ending this week – Sweet Sienna Designs, Zebra Back to School Pack & my book Power Principles for Success. And chocolate loves, don’t miss the Chocomize giveaway ending next week!

Please keep telling your friends about TheSuburbanMom and sharing your thoughts with me via comments or FB. Every time someone reaches out, I am spurred on that much more to keep going. Thanks for all of your support, and here’s to the second year of TheSuburbanMom.
