It’s hard to believe an entire year has gone by since this came to be!
With bits of inspiration from friends and family I dove in last year right before our vacation in Paris, not sure where it would take me.
My cooking skills have doubled, I’ve found a hobby I am truly passionate about, and I’ve learned a ton of fun techy bloggie stuff that I love love love. I’d say it’s a win, well for me. What about you guys- what do you think? Is anyone actually out there? š
So time to celebrate right? In true keely style there were be no fancy cake, cupcakes, or intricate desserts created to mark the date. There will however be a bottle of my favorite bubbly and dinner tonight to celebrate.
So Ā I realize you guys don’t know THAT much about me yet. Maybe a little but not a lot.
