Hi everyone and welcome to this week’s very special, sentimental Allison in Wonderland blog post!
What makes this week’s post more special than usual is February marks the one year anniversary of this blog. I started this blog not really knowing how long I was going to keep up with it, or if I was even going to like it and it ended up turning into one of the best, most challenging adventures in my life and I’m so excited I get to share my favorite memories from this past year with you!
For the first six months that I had my blog, even though I was posting regularly, I didn’t tell anyone about it except for my family and my boyfriend. I wanted to make sure I was doing it for the right reasons and, looking back, I’m so glad I went about it in that way. It gave me time to figure out the direction I wanted to go with my blog and my style of writing before a lot of people I knew personally were reading it. Without that weight on my shoulders, I was able to write about the things that I was experiencing and get a feel for myself as a new blogger before putting it out there for the world!
In reflecting on the year, I think the most exciting thing to happen to my blog was my blog makeover that happened a few months ago! I was able to partner with a wonderful company who transformed my blog into a site that’s much more user friendly and professional. I can’t wait to carry that momentum into this year and post a lot of new, creative content for you!
Throughout the year, I grew a lot as a writer and a blogging personality and I’m so thankful to my readers, both those I know in person and those I don’t, for supporting me and reading my posts week to week. I’ve written about a variety of topics and I want to continue to write about those in the coming year, but I also want to incorporate other, newer topics that I’ve never covered before. If you have any ideas or specific posts you’d like to see, please comment below and let me know!
I’m so excited for the next year of Allison in Wonderland and I can’t wait to see where it takes us! Thanks for reading and, as always, see you next week!
