Happy Birthday HowDoesShe!
November 9, 2010 by Shelley
We can’t even believe it. We are so excited to tell you that HowDoesShe.com officially turned ONE this week. We are the proudest ‘parents’!
HowDoesShe has been the craziest, yet funnest, adventure for us. Let’s take a little stroll down memory lane shall we…
We started by sending out our site to family and friends in a little e-mail. Exactly one year later we have over 19,500 email subscribers (whoo hoo, we love you, we love you!)
We couldn’t have done it without so many wonderful readers spreading the word about the site. We claim each and every one of you as a friend. Pretty cool to have 19,500 friends.
The top 10 posts of the past year, in no particular order, are:
1. Happy Birthday Wreath (and I’m not just saying that because it’s our birthday)
2. Chore Chart for Multiple Kids (Get those kids to work!)
3. Shower Love Notes (Get a little dirty, while getting clean
)
4. Top 3 cleaning products Ever (Thanks for contributing yours)
5. Oreo Cookie Sucker Tutorial with versions Easter and Halloween (Should I do a Christmas themed one?)
6. Twins Sweet Shoppe Birthday (Perfectly pink)
7. 26 ABC’s
8. Birthday Board (Making the birthday boy/girl feel EXTRA special)
9. FREE Exclusive HowDoesShe Birthday, Thank You, Summer, School, Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day printable packages. {All sets designed by chickabug}.
What you don’t have yours?! {Gasp!} Just sign up on our mailing list and all of our exclusive printables will be sent to you.
10. Apples dipped in Heaven (If you haven’t made this yet, you need to,…now).

3 months ago we added 3 virtual assistants to our team. They have helped in so many ways. Because of these 3 fabulous girls, we are able to spend a little more time with our families. Thank you Alysha Bobbi, and Caley! We are so grateful for all you do for HowDoesShe.com.
We all went out for dinner this past weekend with our husbands for a true birthday celebration. We made a fun list of our hopes and dreams for this next year.
Our birthday wishes…

Love your blog! Happy Birthday!! I have been trying to post the new adorable button on my blog and I can’t get it to work. I had the old one but deleted the code to add the new one.
Feliz cumpleaños chicas!! sois estupendas, las encontre por casualidad en junio cuando busca ideas para 3 cumpleaños de mi pequeña Martina, desde entonces no he dejado de entrar en vuestro blog. Os contare un secreto muy muy curioso para poder leer vuestro blog uso el traductor, estoy un pokito avergonzada de no saber ingles, pero gracias a esto estoy empezando con las clases de ingles, gracias por todo lo ke nos brindais!!! un beso desde Barcelona- España
Aw que acaba fundido mi corazón al dejar este mensaje en español. Fui al traductor Google para saber lo que decía, y me hizo totalmente feliz. Gracias por tomarse el tiempo para desearnos Feliz Cumpleaños.
