I've been thinking lately about all the things I've done, tried or learned just because of blogging. If you didn't already know, I absolutely love blogging and all of you. Just had to throw that out there.
Here are just a few things blogging has taught me...

I've learned how to dress and have even attempted a few style posts thanks to my bloggy friend-spirations: Shanna, Mo and Katie. You girls make me want to style my outfits and then take pictures. I never ever thought I would do that so cheers to you.

I've learned where to shop...some of my favorite Etsy shops belong to some of you! I even started my own Etsy shop because it seemed like every blogger needed a shop of their own. Why not?

I've learned how to do my hair...I honestly did not know how to handle my curly hair before some of the tips I've found from bloggers. I'm still working on it, but I've made progress!

I've learned that you can be close friends with someone you've never "met" in the real world.

I've learned how to use Polyvore, photo editing websites and even a little HTML code.

I've learned that I have a little bit of luck..I've won some pretty awesome things from generous giveaways including a Pampered Chef ChopChop, an amazing necklace from Shabby Apple, an adorable clutch, headband, ring and earrings from Whimsy Lane and my new favorite headband from SWeetness a boos!

I've learned that it's okay to snap pictures of every single meal I make...I did it before, but now I have a reason for doing it!

I've learned that people I love in blog world I also love in "real life."(Erin, Julie, Katie, Anne, Sarah, Jax, Courtney)

I've learned that blogging keeps me accountable and motivated. It helps me plan my meals each week and then actually go through with cooking them. And after writing out goals you all make me want to accomplish the goals I wrote down on my list so I don't look like a failure.

I've learned that some of the sweetest girls in the world are bloggers. Whenever I'm out somewhere I always look at people and wonder...do they have a blog? Haha. End sappy post about how much I absolutely love blogging!
