When Jennifer and I decided we wanted to start a blog last October 2014 (wow…almost a year already), we both knew we had a lot to learn. We were inspired by top bloggers who made it look so easy and fun. As we’ve come to find out, blogging is definitely fun but takes tons of hard work and dedication.
