Looking Back at 2011

This blog originally started as a place for me to post about giveaways I entered to gain a few more entries. I had plans to officially kick-off the blog sometime in the future. Well, the future was this year! I have greatly enjoyed sharing my personal eco-friendly adventures and new eco-friendly products with my readers. Here are my accomplishments for the past 5 months (I started blogging in August).

1. Started blogging, officially.
2. Hosted 2 sponsored giveaways.
3. Reviewed several products.
4. Gained more followers on GFC, Google+, Facebook, and Twitter.
5. Connected with other bloggers who have the same interests.

My top 5 posts for 2011 (non-giveaway):

1. Challenge Results: Vegetarian Thanksgiving - I never though that this post would become so popular.
2. Green Motivation Monday - Taste the Season
3. Preparing for Eco-Friendly Adventures in Babysitting
4. Happy Turkey Day
5. Winterize Your Home - Heating

Thank you to all of my wonderful readers and faithful followers! I am learning as much from you as I hope you are learning from me. I am truly blessed! I look forward to 2012 and all that the new year will bring!
