HOORAY! I’ve officially been blogging for one year, Happy 1st Birthday to Our Home With Hounds π AND happy first day of summer too π
I’m SO proud of myself for taking the leap and creating my own little blog space! I’ve been reading blogs for years and just love it. I’d thought about blogging myself but never felt I could do it or didn’t know what I would write about, I didn’t even know where to start. The hardest part honestly was just doing it! And now I’ve made it a habit to blog 3 days a week for ONE whole year π
I’ve had just shy of 7,000 visits to my blog and over 10,000 views on my blog and its posts over the course of the past year! Typing those numbers out just blows my mind! THANKS to all of you for stopping by to visit this blog and leave kind comments too =]
Here is a little look back on some of my first blog posts…
I started blogging as a creative outlet for myself and to just document life. I don’t have the biggest blog out there and I know it takes work to get there, my goal for this first year was to stick with it and make it happen everyday. And I did! So, today I want to CELEBRATE with YOU! I’m giving away a $15 digital giftcard to Target!!! (because everyone loves Target right?!?!)
You can enter through the rafflecoptor below, its ends at 12a on July 1st and the winner will be announced on Monday July 3rd. For extra entries I’d LOVE if you share my post on Facebook or Instagram to help spread the word! GOOD LUCK!!!
THANK YOU for following along at Our Home with Hounds and helping me to build my little space in this blogger world π Here is to another fun year!

Kimberly Deabner says
First off, congratulations on your success and your year anniversary! That is so awesome and amazing! π I just moved into an apartment and am getting married in 4 months! :O We’re starting out from scratch! So, I’m in some major need of Target in my life from towels, to dishes, to lamps, and to you name it! Thanks for this chance! π
Rechelle says
Thanks Kimberly! Congrats on your upcoming wedding and best wishes π
Megan says
Happy anniversary! I’m sure I’d find something that caught my eye without even trying! Probably summer decor :).
Rechelle says
Agreed Megan! I always have a way of finding something I may or may not need π
Rosie says
Congratulations!!! Fireworks in order to celebrate! It is harder than it looks! I’d love to get some healthy snacks for taking on picnic lunches drives into the country for places to see and things to do, like pet goats, find farm stands, berry picking!
Rechelle says
Thanks Rosie! Your plan sounds fun, can I join π
Nicole says
Yay, I found you through the Carpool Book club! I think a Target gift card would be applied to some new summer sandals. I’ve been eyeing some cute pairs π
Rechelle says
Thanks for entering, Nicole! I think I’d get some sandals too, love my Merona ones!
