Whether you call it a blogiversary, blogoversary, blogversary, or blog anniversary, this is my fourth.
To celebrate, I decided to pick a favorite post for each month from April 2010 through March 2011. For some months, there were slim pickings, but at least every month had posts. I may stay away from the blog for weeks at a time, but I always come back. It’s important to me. Without it, my memories would be hazy and jumbled. I’m so glad to have blogged for another year. Happy Blogiversary to me!
