I was asked yesterday (after writing about never ever looking back) about my early blogging days and I thought I should share some of those blogs with you…
This picture above is from a blog I started called Little La La’s. It started April 10, 2007.
It was a blog I created to promote some homewares I was selling as a hobby on ebay back when I had really little babies.
Before that blog I had a private family blog where I tested my ‘blogging’ skills. It was called The Chambo’s House and it too began on blogspot. I started that in about October 2006.
After Little La La’s I started Katrina Chambers using blogspot, but that has since been merged with this blog now on wordpress.
I then started writing this blog called A Very Fine House (I was going through a rustic key phase haha) in 2010, with Julie-Ann from The Decorating Forum.
So that means I’ve been here writing a whole lot of stuff (crap!) for about 5 and 1/2 years.
I love looking back at the old stuff. Boy I went through some hair styles, fashion styles and went from fat to skinny about 3 times haha! In the blogs are photos of 4 houses: 1 was a rental, 1 we bought, 1 we renovated and 1 we built.
The best bit is looking back on my babies and how they’ve grown. These blogs are for them. I’ve written about sad stuff, happy stuff… I’ve complained and I’ve shared my incredible highs.
No regrets.
They can pull up these blogs in the years to come and be reminded of how I felt and what we were doing.
You can see how I went from little or no blogging knowledge to now designing and teaching about blogging!
I’ve done the hard yards…
BUT this doesn’t mean I know it all. Oh no way! I’ve got a loooooong way to go. This is just the beginning!
Hope you’ll continue to share my journey as I welcome you in to my life every day like I have for the past 5 years.
