Happy New Year! And Happy 1st Blogoversary to my MwM!

 

I have received my annual report from WordPress and I love it! I had the most readers from America (obviously), then Australia (surprisingly), with Canada following not far behind. I love reading these stats. It’s a good motivation for me to keep going. Thank you everyone who’s supported me through all of this!

Wow. This year has gone by so quickly! And so many things happened. I am happy I started documenting my life here because I wouldn’t have realized how wonderful my life is.

Next post? My 2012 New Years Resolution.

Keep a lookout. Until then, Happy New Year!

What are your New Years Resolutions?

The ball dropped an hour and forty-three minutes ago. Since it’s a new year, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and finally start my blog.

I am hoping this will be the place to gather successful recipes so that they are easy to grab for when I’m in a rut. I’m an amateur but through trial and error, I’ll learn.

Since I’m a student in college I won’t have a lot of time like other bloggers in the world so I will try my best to post a new dish at least twice a month if not more. I do apologize ahead of time if that doesn’t happen.

I hope you all have a great new year and maybe a year from now I will still be here sharing my experiences!
