I am so excited! It's a big week here at Exquisitely Unremarkable and I can't wait to tell you why!
First of all, it was during this week, last March, that I hit the publish button on my first post, so this week marks my one year blog anniversary! Woo Hoo! I actually cannot believe it, can you? My goodness, that was a fast year!
I would like to thank everyone who has come by to read my posts. I am humbled and honored by each and every visit, comment and feature. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My second bit of exciting news is that I am now a contributor at Parade Magazine and, very coincidentally, my first article is there today! For a writer, it's a thrilling way to spend an anniversary, that's for sure!
If you are looking for a really cute way to dress your front door for spring, you must go and check it out and be sure to leave me a comment there and let me know what you think!
Thanks again for a truly wonderful year! :) Kim
