Happy 2nd Birthday!

No, no, not Caroline.

But The Splattered Apron! I can’t believe I’ve been at this blogging thing for two years already.

I’ve learned a lot in the past two years, I’m embarrassed to even show pictures from when I first started.  So instead, why don’t we take a look at the 10 most popular recipes?

Thinking back over the past two years, I am filled with such gratitude.  From my wedding to my pregnancy, to the birth of my daughter to going back to work, the community I have found through blogging has been so supportive.  When I started my blog my goal was to share my recipes and to demonstrate that cooking and baking don’t have to be scary and intimidating. I didn’t realize the sense of community that I would gain along the way.  There are some days when I wonder if blogging is really worth all of the trouble, then I think about the e-mail I received, thanking me for highlighting working mamas.  Or the comment from a new mama telling me that my post helped her continue breastfeeding her newborn.  Or the recipe that a reader tried and loved after being afraid to try something from scratch but they tried my recipe anyways. 

This blog has become more than just a place to share recipes and I am so grateful for that.  It may not be a complete picture of my life, but it’s as much as I would like to share and I think that’s good enough.

In the past two years I’ve gone from a single girl to a married working mama. I couldn’t be happier and I’m so excited to continue to share my adventures with you.  Thank you so much for coming along!
