I can hardly believe it's been a year since I started this blog! I remember how it all began, I had googled "preppy napkin", because I wanted some cute preppy napkins for my china! Who knew I'd find this blog: Preppy Napkin!
Before this I had no idea what a blog was! Being a writer of screenplays, I was looking for a creative writing outlet and after reading and getting comments from a few more blogs like Happy Homemaker, A Journey To Our Daughter, Magnolia Mama and Working That Preppy!
It all started with this post:
"I am One Fabulous Mom or at least I try! It's hard to hold it all together and manage to have a little style and class! Being a Mom, we all strive to do the best for our kids, but I think there's a way to do it without going crazy. Yes there are times when it is sheer insanity, but I think if you can get creative you can really make this Mom thing fun for you and your baby! Being a new Mother is the most challenging thing I've ever dealt with. Now that Landon is 14 months I am hitting my stride and I'm eager to share all my secrets with you. I will be doing posts on ways to keep your social life going, baby clothes I love, products I can't live without, and everything else! Of course I would love to know your favorites and secrets as well. If you are a fabulous Mom or strive to be, you are a hero and you are doing the hard work! Let me be the first to say: You Are One Fabulous Mom!"
As a thank you to these fabulous ladies for their inspiration, support and fabulousness, I am giving them each a $25 gift card to Banana Republic! (Just email me addresses girls!) Now you know since I sing the praises of BR that you can get some rocking jewelry from the sale bin with this money!
In addition one more lucky blogger will win a $25 gift card to Banana Republic as well! Just leave a comment and I will draw a name! I'll reveal the winner this Friday!!!

Congrats OFM!!!! It is so fun to blog, and I am so glad we get to see a little part of your life and little Landon's too:)
I have missed you, I am finally getting things back in order and such. Thanks for your kind words about Grammy! Last week was really tough and sad. I actually read some of my blog post about her at the funeral. It was great to honor her in some way.
I hope that Landon is doing well and recovering! You have a special little man. XOXO, Clare
Are you talking about me?!! ME?! FOR REAL?! lol Oh my gracious!!!
I'm speechless!
Thank you :) What a sweet gal you are....we should be sending you the gift for your ONE YEAR!! Congratulations fabulous Mom on your one fabulous year!!

Congratulations on one year!
I hope all is going well!
Have a great day!
glad you found blogging !!
I too found blogging by googling in the words of "Oh Christmas Tree" and found pinotandpacifiers. Glad everything is going well with Landon. Can't wait to see what the future will bring for you and your family. Here's to many more happy posts.
Congrats on one year! Time flies, huh? I've really enjoyed your blog...and I think you are FABULOUS!
Happy, happy Blogiversary! Thanks for helping make each of our days more fabulous!
Happy Blogiversary...isn't it amazing when you hit the one year anniversary. You have accomplished so much in the year...your topics are great, your writing wonderful, and you are so thoughtful to boot!
Here's to another year...chink, chink (our wine glasses of course!)
What a great year!
Since I am over an hour from a BR :-( don't enter me in the contest, but I did want to say: CONGRATULATIONS on your one year anniversary. I think your blog is fabulous (of course!) and such a great source of fun information. Highly entertaining too!
BTW - I found the preppy blogging scene in exactly the same manner! I started out searching for cocktail napkins and ended up immersed in the world of preppy blogs. I wonder how many other people have found their way through Preppy Napkin?
Happy Blogaversary! I know what you mean about inspiration...I was lucky to find some great blogs that helped me figure out what to do. Count me in on the BR giveaway!
I am flattered! Thanks so much and I am so glad you were introduced to all of this by googling "preppy napkin"-who would of thought:)
I love your blog and all of your pictures-you do such a great job. Can't wait to keep reading! If only we could meet all of the bloggers out there!
Happy Anniversary!! I love your blog and read it faithfully. Thank goodness Landon is doing well.

happy 1st! what a neat way to celebrate! i hope landon's surgery went well!!
Happy 1 year, sweetie! I hope and pray Landon is doing well! You are awesome and will always inspire me!
I feel blessed to know yoy! XOXO!
Congratulations on your anniversary! A parent at the
school where I teach has a blog,
in which she chats about all
the happenings on our campus,
which is where I first saw a blog.
Then I found 'musings of a not
so desperate housewife' (probably
googling desperate housewifes? I forget how I found it.) Anyway,
that's what hooked me. Blogs
(including yours of course) are
so fun!
What a wonderful year it has been and you are just getting started...
Happy You
Happy Me
Happy Blogoversary!!
So glad Landon is on the upside of his surgery, continuing to keep you guys in our thoughts and prayers!
LTY today!!
Hope that the surgery for Landon went well! That is so generous of you to offer such a fun giveaway! Love the story of how you got into blogging:)
