Spread the love

Did you know that recipes and quick makeovers were the most popular posts on the blog this past year? Let me share two more!

It’s My Blogaversary!

Folks, I wrote the post about the Top Ten Posts a few days earlier! Now that the blog is officially 2, I re-ran the numbers and two more posts were so popular, I thought I would share them this morning!

Below is my 6 year old self wishing for a career as an entrepreneur! Little did I know what a journey that would be!

September 2, 2020 was the day I pressed publish on my blog!

They Say When The Student is Ready, The Teacher Will Appear!

A lot of the credit belongs to this amazing young lady!

This amazing young woman is KariAnne Wood from Thistlewood Farms. I have followed her blog for several years. Since I had subscribed to her mailing list, I received emails daily. I didn’t always open them… sorry, KariAnne! But one that I received a little over two years ago , really caught my eye. KariAnne was starting a blogging Mastermind group to teach the business of blogging.

I had toyed with the idea of starting a blog for several years at that point. I just never did it. I naively thought it was just like Facebook… sit down, write, post, done! So I signed up thinking “how hard can it be?” I seem to say that a lot right before jumping into something new! Sometimes, I probably should have dug a little deeper to see how hard it really was!

In all honesty, KariAnne’s group was really geared towards people who were already blogging and looking to take their blogs to the next level. She was gracious enough to make room for a handful of newbies and give us the tips and guidance that we needed to get started. She called our group The Creators.

IT IS HARDER THAN IT LOOKS , FOLKS!

I soon found out that it is much harder than it looks! There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that most people don’t realize. Between KariAnne’s help and the help of another lady in the group, I finally posted my first post under the From Farmhouse to Florida name on September 2, 2020.

While not as physically grueling as working in the flower shop or sweating next to the 500 degree pizza oven, blogging can be mentally grueling. So much to learn! From Pinterest to Instagram to TikTok and everything in between, many times my head is just spinning! But one of the most important things about blogging is that it is your business and there is room for everyone who wants become a creator/influencer/entrepreneur! Each of us brings something unique to the blogging world!
