BLOG ANNIVERSARY! GRATITUDE LETTER + GIVEAWAY
Dear readers of Weloob,
We hope all is well with you in this season of your life. We are really feeling thankful because we celebrate three years of blogging today! Whoop! On the 13th of February 2014, we published our first blog post.
At the time, we were only about 4 months old in the United States. We had two kids under 4 and a new environment to deal with. Somehow in the midst of it all, we created this blog.
We began publishing posts but we were very irregular. We completely stopped blogging at some point when we were pregnant with our last baby. We only picked up blogging again, months after We birthed our sweet little one. That was in May 2015. Since then we have consistently written our heart out in this space that we share with you.
This blog has been a wonderful therapy for us. It took us from being an overwhelmed stay-at-home mom to being a very fulfilled stay-at-home mom. It gave us sanity. It is because of this blog that we are able to homeschool our kids. Because of this blog, we know we will die empty. The books in us must be written, the videos must be made, the talks must be given. Each day here takes us closer to fulfilling destiny. What a sweet feeling!
But you know what? It won’t be all that if we didn’t have YOU. We are so grateful for you. Specifically for:
- Engaging on this blog from day 1, reading and offering us feedback
- Our blogger friends who have been a huge encouragement to us, always checking our blog and inspiring us with their support and comments
- Commenting on the blog. Because your comments make this space lively, interactive and we have learned so much from them!
- Sharing about this blog with your friends and family
- Following us on social media and liking/sharing/commenting on our posts
All of these have been wonderfully motivating to us. Thank you so much!
Here are the blog stats so far…
YouTube: 1415 subscribers
Email subscribers: 1, 618
Twitter: 121 followers
This is all you! Thank you so much for letting us share the ink from our pen and the steam from our pot with you.
As we continue on this awesome blogging journey, we would like to make a few changes. Here they are:
- No more, “Here’s What’s Up”. This weekly Monday slot that mostly recounted our previous week or just random happy thoughts was fun while it lasted. We have written it for over a year! We would like to switch things up a little bit and keep Monday mornings for a “pen-speaking” post. Now, that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t gist you if there’s something up. We definitely will write that in our diary but it won’t necessarily be on Monday morning.
- Fridays are for videos. Before now, we chose to upload a new video and publish the complimenting recipe post on Saturday mornings but it has been tough keeping up with that. We'll like to move that to Friday instead so we get that done before it’s Saturday.
That’s it for the changes!
Now the Giveaway!
We sincerely wish we could give something to every one of you to show how grateful we are. On the last giveaway, we really wanted every person who entered to get $50 but we're not that rich O woman. As the ministry grows we will give more because share we must.
Let’s get commenting!
P.S. Because today is special, we are moving the next part of our “minimalism series” to next Tuesday.
