Three Years of Blogging

Where did the time go?! June 1 officially marked my three year blog anniversary – somehow I thought it was the second week of June, and I missed it!

A lot has happened in three years, and it’s so fun to be able to look back on our lives through the blog. Thanks to all of you for reading and commenting through  the years!

I also find it really fun to look through my Google Analytics to check out how people find my blog and the posts that are the most popular. I gave up caring about traffic a long time ago, but some of the words and phrases people use to get here are hilarious!

Randomly my top post of all time is my review of Trader Joe’s Super Red Drink Powder, a product I blogged about years ago but swear by to this day. I don’t get sick when I diligently add it to smoothies. It’s also delicious with some water and crushed ice.

The rest of the Top 5 includes my About, Professional Background, Sites I Love, and the Grilled Corn Salad I love so much.

My favorite posts? I think my Boston Marathon recaps (2010, 2012)  and my Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival recaps from 2009, 2010, and 2011.

Since we missed the official blog anniversary, we decided to take advantage of the bad weather on Saturday and spend a cozy afternoon in the boat’s cabin. It was kind of perfect.

While listening to the rain and the waves hitting the hull, we enjoyed a bottle of wine picked up on our last trip to Sonoma, a Cabernet Sauvignon from Harvest Moon.

Lunch was simple, just some chorizo, prosciutto, salami, and port Salut cheese from Trader Joe’s.

We brought the iPad along and watched the 1972 version of Last House on the Left which was absolutely awful. It was SO gory! I definitely thought it was going to be more suspenseful, instead it just grossed me out.

Other than the movie, we had a great day and a relaxing weekend which was something we both really needed.

I’m a lucky girl.

I hope you all had great weekends too!
