Blog Anniversary

I just realized this morning that I've been blogging for over two years now. I never thought this little ol' blog would turn into something that would bring me so much in life: a creative community of friends from all over the world! I've learned so much about handmade, motherhood, and my faith through all the conversations I've had with all of you in this awesome blogosphere. I've had a blast opening my own shop and sharing other's handmade treasures. It's also been so much fun documenting our journey as parents and being able to look back at all the memories we've made with our children. It's been an awesome ride so far!

I thought I'd post some of my favorite pictures from the start of this blog adventure, from March of 2010-March of 2012. This will obviously be a long, long list of photos. Enjoy!

Thank God for iPhones, huh? Life sure gets busy once there are two babies to handle. If I didn't have a camera phone on hand, most of this would never have been documented! Someday I'll pick up that DSLR again... maybe.

I'd like to thank all of the people I've met through this blogging experience so far. It's been so much fun, I've learned so much, and I'm excited to continue sharing my fun memories with friends and family online. Thanks for following along!

Feature Post: Lisa Leonard Designs

Surely, you've heard of this lovely lady: the one and only Lisa Leonard. If you haven't, then consider her a gift from me to you. She's been one of my favorite bloggers/business owners for a long time, and for so many reasons. When I first discovered blogs and the handmade community, Lisa's blog and shop was one of the first I fell in love with, not only because of the gorgeous jewelry she creates, but because of her passion for doing what she loves. Most importantly, Lisa's story has been an inspiration to me as a mother and wife, as she always shares the beauty of her family through her blog.

Lisa designs beautiful and elegant jewelry and accessories that make the perfect gifts for those you love. Her classic style shows through in every piece she has created, and is meant to inspire and encourage. Lisa is offering Moriah Makes' readers 20% off their entire order (expires March 20th) with code: SHOPPING20

Be sure to visit her shop and purchase something special for yourself or a loved one. Also, if you haven't already, you should "like" her Facebook page and join her newsletter in order to stay updated on the latest specials and sneak peeks from her shop! And when you're finished getting lost in her shop, be sure to hop over to her blog and get lost for a couple more hours over there. You're welcome.
