If you would’ve told me three years ago back when I started this blog that it would become an addicting hobby, provide me with a livable, full time source of income, put me in connection with some amazing people, serve as a second memory because mine sucks at times, and give me an outlet to nerd out on things I love like shopping, photography, life hacks, recipes, html, social media, SEO jargon, and so much more, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. As clueless as I was on that day I purchased a domain name and officially entered into this blogging world, I’m so glad I did and I wouldn’t change it for the world!
It’s been three years since The Southern Thing was born, and that means this place is packed with documentation of the past three years of my life. If that’s not the coolest thing about blogging then I don’t know what is! This blog was with me when I made my first big move away from home to New England and it stayed along for the ride to where I am currently, in yet another state, engaged, and planning a wedding! It’s been the perfect little journal to jot down all the details for moments I never want to forget, like this one, which I am incredibly thankful for.
I’m also thankful for all of you, because without y’all, a lot of the time and effort I put into this place would feel useless. I’m also thankful for all the inspiring and positive women in this blogging community. Y’all are doing amazing things and kicking ass along the way! You’ve inspired me in so many ways and opened my eyes to the impossible.
Thank you, to the ones that have been reading here since day one, and the new friends I’ve met along the way! To say thanks, all ad spaces are 40% off and everything in Bijoux Avenue is 20% off! Use code BLOGIVERSARY to redeem!

Happy Blogiversary!!! That’s so fantastic that you are able to do what you love and actually see it come back for you. Super awesome!
Totally the post that I needed to continue on with mine as well. I love how you also use your blog to help you remember things that have happened in the past. Totally the reason why I love blogging as well – or using social media. (Love Timehop ha!)
Have a fantastic week.

Happy 3 years!!!! That is so exciting! I never thought I would have made it as a blogger after 1 year. It truly has become an addicting hobby.

Congratulations on three years! Isn’t it amazing how much we fall in love with blogging? I guess you kind of have to, it’s so time consuming that if you didn’t love it why would you keep doing it?!
Emily says
