by Angela V Friends, today is my 10 year blogiversary! Can you believe it? It all started with this post right here, as a brand new, first-time mom, sharing some info about our cloth diapering adventures. I was looking for a community of other moms and likeminded people and for a platform to document my experiences as a new mom. Fast forward to today, and here we are, 2,254 posts later…..

Every visit, every comment, every share, means so much!
So many amazing things have happened in the last 10 years. It is fun to see how I documented so many milestones and I have many wonderful memories here.
From babyhood to toddlerhood with my first, to having a brand new baby again, to travelling the world with my family, getting a new puppy, buying our first home, and so many more. While sharing amazing new products and services with you all, some travel tips, DIYs, yummy recipes, and more! It has been a fun ride.
Here are ten of my all-time favourites:
It has been an amazing 10 years and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the next 10! Thank you for sticking around and being part of the OneSmileyMonkey community! I appreciate you all!
