Celebrate All The Milestones!

Hey! So, I mentioned a while back that I wanted to do another celebratory post about follower milestones. Back in July was my last one, where we had the biggest Blog Party the world has ever seen. Okay, maybe it wasn’t that insane, but it was pretty crazy! 429 comments!! My notification feed was non-stop and it was hard for me to keep up. It was amazing.

Since then, I went self hosted, and my engagement rate slowed down a tad. As someone who was starting to celebrate reaching milestones quite often, this dampened my enthusiasm a little. The numbers have still been steadily rising though. When I reached 1100, I thought, “I should do a celebratory post!”, but I didn’t. Then I reached 1200, 1300, and most recently 1400. As I write this, my count stands at 1451. So over the weekend, I was determined to do something fun to celebrate and show my gratitude for all you lovely people who read my ramblings!

I was going to do a House Tour, but it’s still pretty messy. But after reading some posts, I got inspired by doing this “50 Questions You’ve Never Been Asked Tag“. I decided since it was a huge number, I would break it up by answering all over the house. In video form!! So you get a sneek peek at our place, and hopefully learn more about me.

Here it is!

I had the most fun I have ever had filming a video! It was also super planned out, I wrote out all the questions, and decided which room or spot to film it in. The whole process was confusing and hilarious, and Rory kept finding me everywhere, tripod in one hand, notebook in the other, and phone in mouth cause I was out of hands.

In fact, out of all the bonus footage, I decided to make a little bloopers video out of it, which makes me laugh at least!

As fun as all this was, I really just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who supports, reads, likes, comments and follows me on my blog! I still consider myself a newbie, I’m still learning as I go, but this whole blogging business has been so incredible! I have never felt more connected with like minded people all over the world, have friends in so many timezones, and spend so much time writing, filming, taking photos, and having so many new experiences!

Thanks for being a part of my blogging journey, lovely people!

Angela.

  1. I have been blogging since December 2015 and still feel like I am learning. Never thought I would start a blog, but glad I did.

  2. Love this and the bloopers! I’d be the same what number am I on or randomly asking my partner stuff expecting him to know? I bet it took you ages, but it was worth it. I love your accent. NZ accents sound a bit Australian and a bit American to me xx

    1. Thanks Dannii!! Haha, it did take a while, but it was so much fun! Rory kept walking through the house, and wondering what I was doing ?
      I feel the same way hearing US and UK accents! I love hearing people speak in accents I don’t regularly hear 🙂

  3. Congrats Angela! I enjoyed the videos. The 50 questions was really cool! You had me at Yu-Gi-Oh! 🙂 I still have a soft spot for that anime. I also enjoyed the tour of your house. I’m with you on Titanic and The Notebook.
