Hello everyone! It's Melodie here. As you can tell by the title, we got nominated for 2 awards! Thank you so much Geeky Girl from The Dolls of Texas for nominating us. We are so excited to receive our very first awards.

Also, as a side note, we are going to posting very soon. We have been so busy and we will talk more about that later, but for now, let's get on to the awards.

History

So, we started our blog on July 27, 2015, but Lexi and I had been planning a blog for a long time before. We would write blog posts on Word documents, add photos and send them to friends. Our inspiration came from The Salty Breeze. Chrissa and Elizabeth were friends with Lexi, who lived in Florida before moving to Tennessee. Lexi and I were inspired to start our own blog, and our dream became a reality in July of 2015. If you want to read a more detailed history, click here to read our post about how we started blogging.

Advice

1. Don't worry if you don't have a ton of views

Something we've learned in the past year is that the number of views we get on our blog doesn't matter. Yes, we love to have people see our blog, but a number doesn't define who we are. We write posts because WE want to.

2. Blog about what you love

Blogging should be fun, and writing about something you love is fun. Plus, it's a great way to share what you love with others. For example, I love to write and take pictures, so blogging about what I'm doing is a lot of fun for me. Write about what you love, and you'll feel a lot prouder of work in the end.
