This whole blogging journey has been an unexpected dream.  It started off as a space to fill Boston’s naptime and nothing more.  I actually didn’t even know what a blog was until I started one.  I saw a Twix commercial and the word blogging was used.  I googled it and thought it looked cool haha!  Like most things in life, I learned as I went.  Other than my good friends google and youtube, I didn’t have anyone helping me.  I worked hard and I fought through those moments where it seemed like no one was listening.

Blogging has given the opportunity to provide for my family while my husband’s been in school.  It’s given me the great pleasure of helping women feel more confident about themselves.  I feel like I’m making a difference, like I’m inspiring people to be better and feel better about themselves.  Blogging has turned me into a photographer, a natural light lover, an author, a model, a photoshop pro and so much more.  I now see the world with a creative pair of eyes and it’s given me the chance to express myself.  I feel extremely lucky and blessed to have so many friends around the world to connect with and learn from.

The night of the Utah Style Icon Awards was amazing.  It really made me appreciate how far I’ve come since I started this blog three years ago.  I attended it with two of my best friends, Leanne from Elle Apparel, and Alycia from Crowley Party.  We were pampered with gold facials, able to dress up like princesses and ride in chariots of gold glitter.  We ate the MOST delicious pastries and had the greatest and most hilarious conversations with new friends.  The entire night was full of surprises — including me winning the award and coveted flower tiara.  It’s nights like that that make you so incredibly thankful for everyone who has believed in you.

I just wanted to say thank you for giving me this experience, for letting me be a part of your life and for loving me just as I am.
