One year ago today, I started this blog—with little idea of what I was doing or where I was going. Over the past year, my blog has come a long way, as have I.
When I began, my blog was called, The Healthy Mom. At that time, I wrote largely about healthy living topics as it related to raising my family. But after a while, I relized that my focus had gradually expanded: Rather than writing on topics solely related to health and wellness, I found myself writing more broadly about navigating life’s ups and downs—the good, the bad and the comical. With that, The Healthy Mom became I’m Still Learning.
With each passing day, I’m learning how to be a better mother and wife, how to be healthy and stay calm, how to find the positives in tough situations and how to appreciate the humor in life’s little comedies. And with my blog, I can chronicle my process towards achieving those goals.
To my followers, thank you for joining me on this journey. Your support and interactions have meant so much to me. To those of you who have helped me and given me guidance along the way, I couldn’t appreciate you more. This past year has been such fun. I’ve enjoyed reflecting, laughing and learning with you all.

Happy Blogiversary, Steph!!
Thanks, Kathy. Meeting (virtually) has definitely been a highlight for me.
Happy anniversary to you and the blog! Isn’t it a wonderful way to clear your mind and to find support for like minded people? I had no idea the world I was opening up when I began 2 years ago this month.
So glad we’ve crossed paths.
Yes, May. It’s been great for my emotional health. It really does help me to sort out my thoughts. I, too, am glad we crossed paths. I really enjoy reading your blog. I relaxes me. You have such a way with words and great insights, as the mother of older kids.
Congratulations! Blogging for a year is quite an achievement. Your posts are beautifully written. I cry tears with you and laugh with you. Looking forward to many more.
So nice of you to say, Christina! Glad you’re along for the ride!
Happy birthday to your blog! I’m glad I discovered it and get to learn along with you.
Thank you for all your comments, Dyanne. I appreciate your sticking around with me!
Ah, I am late to the congrats party, but better late than never! I love your blog. I notice it when you don’t post for awhile. I were up and running for months before I found you, but I caught up, and I AM GLAD I DID! Thank YOU for your witty posts, craziness (that comforts me in mine), your views on motherhood (just like me), and so much more. Keep writing. I love it!
Courtney, thank you! Your words mean so much to me. The love is mutual, I assure you!
