I can’t believe it’s a year today. One year of A Momma’s View! What a year it was…
Time flies by, right? I feel like this first year blogging went by so fast. I was thinking a lot about this post. About what I wanted it to be. But just like my blog it’s slightly different than what I pictured it to be.
But what can you really write about? You all know my blog, the way I write and what I write about so far. So there’s not a lot of new stuff I can tell you really. What you might not know is how proud I feel right now. For so many reasons.
Proud because I blogged for 365 days and although on some of the posts on this blog are guest posts, quotes, blast of the pasts or reblogs, I’ve managed to have something new up every day. 1012 posts have been published on this blog, not counting this one. I had over 53’000 views until today and just about 1500 followers counting Facebook and Twitter. Numbers I would have never expected to reach, for sure not in my first year of blogging. I’m proud of having achieved something like this and for me it feels truly great. I stuck to my initial plan of posting on a daily base. Something that was not always easy.
I’m not only proud. I’m also extremely thankful. Thankful for all of you who supported me along the way. The ones I’ve met in the very beginning and who are still around. And the ones I’ve met along the way. Thank you all so much for your support and for the inspiring exchange we had. And thank you to all of my new followers. I’m so happy you found me and you decided to follow A Momma’s View! I’m looking forward to many inspiring moments. I want to thank all of you who have nominated me for all those amazing awards, not only letting me feel your appreciation for what I’m doing here but also giving me the chance to give you some more info about who I am in answering your questions or writing down some random facts about me.
I’d like to take this as an opportunity to thank Forevershannon (Liebster Award) and also The Confusing Middle (Premio Dardos Award) for nominating me for two more a couple of days ago.
Ever since I’ve started this blog I’ve not only managed to write blog posts on a daily base but I’ve also finished writing two novels (one is ready to be published and the other one is still being edited). I have another two stories in my head and I will start writing over the next couple of weeks. At the moment I’m sending out emails to the ones who have signed up for “Momma’s 21 Days Of Inspiration” and I have to say that it’s so much fun doing this that I consider running another 21 days in the future. If you are interested to sign up please drop me a line (Subject: Momma’s 21 Days Of Inspiration).
I feel like not only this blog has come to a better place, has developed and grown but so have I.
I was wondering what I could do to make this moment special for all of us (at least I hope so).What could be better than having a birthday party?
So I invite you over here to party with me once again. But this time there’s not really a twist to it. And still I’d like you to get involved.
So how about you leave the link to your blog in the comments, maybe with a short intro of what you are writing about. And then let me know what you think I should write about more often on this blog. What would you like to read over the next 365 days of A Momma’s View’s journey?
I got really inspired but one of my followers when she mentioned that she would love to hear more about how different winters in Switzerland and Australia are and I thought it would be great to keep that going in a way.
Now… can you hear the music? Can you smell the food?
So why don’t you come in and join the party? I was waiting for you! There are some others already inside, chatting along, eating, drinking and dancing.
Please share a link to your blog, visit the others that do and let me know what you would love to read on this blog in the future.
Now, please excuse me, it’s time for a glass of sparkling wine ๐
Happy Blogiversary Sandra! Wow look at how much you have achieved in such a short time. You have already gained a lot of respect for the support and inspiration that you give to others myself included! Have a great day,
Here is a link to my blog for those that don’t already know me. I like to write about the funny side of life.

Congratulations Sandra! And here is a glass of bubbly to wish you many happy returns!
I am happy we meet from the start. I am impressed with your achievements. Way to go.
Though your blog could be seen as targeted for moms, it offers so much variety of themes, and gives room for reflection, learning in a wide array of subjects. It is also very inclusive and promotes other blogger’s work while increasing the community spirit. Your care for your kids and humanity in general, is reflected in your considerate posts and comments.
And you did all of that while writing two novels. Wow.
So, what else could I ask you to write about? Keep writing with authenticity and passion as you already do. I will be here following you.
Blog on!
