I can't believe that this is the first post of 2018! It's been about 7 months since I started this blog and it has been a true learning experience. I don't think I realized how much of an endeavor starting this blog would be. Don't get me wrong, I knew that it would take a lot of time and dedication... which is probably why it took me so long to do this. But I think I was a bit naive about the work it takes to maintain and market a blog. Sounds dumb, since I do come from the marketing world. But here I am taking the advice I give to my kids all the time: Challenge yourself because only the hard things are worth doing. Which is totally true when it comes to this. I've baked and posted twice a week for the past 7 months, without a break. It's been inspiring, exhausting and eye opening. I didn't think I could do it, I didn't think it was possible to do given my time constraints and energy levels. But It's the new year and I'm still going.
