1 year of Home in Surrey!

Just realised that my blog had 1st birthday on 07/01/15! So many things have changed in last 12 months!

I am still fighting with too many clothes! I had to buy more because of pregnancy :-))) and I can't use my old ones because I don't fit in them anymore. Hopefully in 3 months I can start my no clothes buy challenge again. :-)
Also I am stopping to buy more clothes for our baby boy. We already have all clothes needed until he is 18 months old! Of course all bought for fraction of price on E-bay or in charity shops. In the end they were worn only for about 3 months because babies grow so quickly.

Also I would like to start my baking again. I do some but mostly the old traditional receipts. Nothing new in long time!

In March I will add some pages about our baby boy. It will be nice to have some sort of diary. The due date is nearing! Only 9 weeks to go. I am actually 8 months today, but luckily I don't feel that bad! Still running up the stairs!

Over 100 posts - done!

I almost didn't realised but I am now over 100 posts! :-) When I started I have known that there will be time when I probably will not have "energy" to do it anymore, but I am impressed with myself. Half a year later and I am still enjoying writing about our house and my "trying" to do some DIY and decorate it somehow tastefully. :-)
 It is a hard work for a house not to look like from the high street catalogue. You know very matchy. I know a few people how just went along and got whole range from Next (even with curtains) or from John Lewis. It looks very nice just not very personal. I am always trying for very personal and "it goes together" but not matchy (guilty in case of all of our furniture being solid oak - We just like it!)

Little update

I was playing with my blog - again :-)
I taught that my blog looks a little bit old fashioned. You know when I look at my favourite blogs (Young House Love or Swoon Worthy) mine looks just so horrible compared to them! I get a little bit upset about it. I am still fighting with blogger to make it look how I want to. I am beginner with blogging and sometimes I am a little bit lost with all of that funny names like "Favicon".
I have spend about a hour trying to change it to something "mine" and that little thing doesn't want to move from my blog. :-(
Oh well. So I made my blog looks more streamline and simple. Also with more space for bigger pictures. I would like to do something with my header. Maybe add some artistic background instead of simple blue font.

It still needs a lots of work but I will get there.

A little bit of statistics

I almost forgot! Yesterday it was 2 months anniversary of my blog!

I did 50 posts
I had 1064 page views
Most viewed pages are my baking pages!

I am trying not to look on statistics too much. You can get addictive to them.
Unfortunately no any followers yet. :-(
But I am doing this blog for myself and my "memory of goldfish" head :-) so I have this rule of looking on statistics only once a day :-)
And because my baking pages are the most popular I will make one more statistic today. Fist ever day with two posts.
