HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BLOG FRIENDS!

This week marks 4 years of being a blogger!! I am so excited about this and just amazed that I have kept it going for so long. I want to have my blog made into a book (have any of you done this??), but I just haven't stopped to actually sit down and do it.

I love that all of my memories as a mama are documented on here. When I started 4 years ago I just had a 3 month old baby boy and was such a rookie (and still am) in this whole parenting thing. What a journey these last 4 years have been!

This blog is such a treasure to me. I already love going back and reading things we were doing this time 2 years ago, 3 years ago, and now 4 years ago!!! WOW!

SOOOO...Just like last year I am going to have an ALLISON'S FAVORITE THINGS GIVEAWAY!!!! I am excited about this because last year was so much fun for me! I feel I set the bar pretty high on last year's anniversary post, but this year will be BIGGER and BETTER! I already have a few ideas up my sleeve!

So to enter this ANNIVERSARY GIVE AWAY all I want to know is WHO you are and HOW long you have been a reader of The Mullins 4 Blog!!!

Happy Anniversary Blog Friends!!! Here's to many more years!!!

The WINNER will be announced after a drawing on Saturday morning!!!

  12. I'm thinking it's been about 2 years...going off of how old Harper is! :) Ha! I never win, and I'm okay with that...I just really love reading your blog! It is so bubbly and you always makes me smile! I think you are a GREAT mom! Keep it up...and the blogging, too!
    PS. Interested in what you find out about turning your blog into a book. Been wanting to do that, too...just not sure which one I wanna try first!

  13. Hello sweet friend. I have been reading from the very beginning, which means yikes, I have been blogging just as long. Time flies. Love you and your sweet family.

  14. So fun! I have been reading your blog since I found out about your blog, whenever that was. :) I think probably around 3 years ago. I think you were still pregnant with Harper. Anyway, I have loved reading, and of course, I STILL love reading! You are such a positive, enthusiastic mama, and it is encouraging to see the love you have for H and H, and the wonderful joy you find in being their mother. You are a great example of a wife, mother, and Christian, and I love reading your blog and learning from your example. Love you!

  15. Hi there!

    I think I have been reading since I got to know you...maybe like 2 or 3 years??!

    As for turning your blog into a book...I have done several of those. Blurb.com is my favorite site to use for this. Wish you were closer and I would show you my books in person! Hope that helps!

    Happy Anniversary!

  16. I have been reading your blog since you moved to SA and it only took me a couple of months to figure out that you live like a mile away from me and yet we still have not actually met in person. Oh well, I just recently met someone I have been friends with for 4 years and never saw face to face till Sunday! If I win we will HAVE to met so I can pick up the prize....how about that?

  23. Hey, I think I have been reading a little over 2 years because that's about the time I started mine and found this wonderful world of blogging and staying in touch. I, too, inquired about making a book from my blog and a friend told me about blurb.com. I still haven't had the time to look into it, but I'm glad to know that I have the option of getting it done. Happy Anniversary fellow blogger and friend!

  24. Leslie Thomas, I have been reading since the very first post when Hud was just 3 1/2 months old!

    Pretty sure I helped turn you on to the "blog world".

    Love y'all. Can't wait to see you in a few weeks. Hope I win this year!

    Oh, I will have to show you how the blog book comes out. I have almost finished mine. I used blurb.com.

    Happy Anniversary

  28. Hey, I've been searching for a place to do the blog to book thing. I used Blurb.com to do our wedding book and really liked it. It was easy. Not sure if there is anything out there better, but I am kind of looking. If you find something good, let me know and I will do the same.

    I can't remember when I started reading your blog. I know when I started, I had to go back and get caught up! ;-) I'm thinking about 2 1/2 - 3 years. I LOVE reading about the Mullins adventures and seeing Harper and Hudson grow!

  34. Valerie Chambers :)I have only been reading for about 10 months, tear, tear! Does it count though if I say I wish I would have known about your blog 4 years ago. I should have, I wish I would have. So happy to reconnect with you! What a cute idea too!!!

    I have been reading since the very first entry. I must say that when I open up your blog and you have a new posting, I get so excited to see the new pictures of the kiddos. You have done an amazing job with your blog and I know that you are an inspiration to many, just like you are to me.

    Love you very much,

    Your Mother

  36. This is Beth (Wright) Nichols - so funny how many camp people are on this list! I've been reading since Harper was born (I think). I'm just a stalker and not usually a commenter, but for celebrating 4 years I thought I would!

  37. Hey Allison! It's Bethany (Knox) Reid, and I've been reading since this summer- so fun to see the adventures you have with your little family! Thanks for all the entertainment!
