Happy Birthday, Blog!

Photo credit: Photo by PinkCakeBox on Flickr

I am proud to announce that A Room of Mama's Own is now one whole year old. Yep, this blog was born with my very first post a year ago today. And oh, how it has grown (as babies will). I've written nearly every day for a year (yay, me!), and I now get as many visitors in a day as I did in that whole first month of blogging last year. And above all, I've made lots of wonderful new friends -- something I actually never expected in this little writing experiment of mine. (Yay, all of you!)

In honor of my blog's first birthday, I got it two things:

  1. A fabulous picture of a pink cake (Mm, virtually delicious!)

    and

  2. Its very own URL! Yes, now you can also find me at ARoomOfMamasOwn.com. (The new URL simply redirects you to the old one (I'm still hosted by Blogger), so there's no need to change your subscriptions or bookmarks. It's just cool to own my own domain name.)
Thank you all for being with me on this adventure and happy reading!

  11. happy blog day.
    I just read the "How I Learned my Husband Is an Addict (A Seven Post Series) " at last. It all rings very very familiar, except I have a guy who has run away rather than turn and face and fight.
    may this next year be wonderful for you.
