blog birthday bubbles and more

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? šŸ˜‰

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.

What better way to share all that you might not see behind the recipes and words, than take a page out of Vanity Fair and answer the Proust questionnaire!

What do you most dislike about your appearance? my balmy hands. lol. i guess you can’t see them, but they suck.

Where would you most like to live? that is an amazing question. grass is always greener. anywhere i can have that house on the ocean. with a garden. in an area you can hike and bike. with my family nearby. you can shop online right?
