It’s my birthday… well my BLOG birthday!

Happy Blog BirthdayGuys!! Guess what? Today, this little ol’ blog is a whole YEAR old.

It’s so hard to believe that a year ago today I hit “publish” on this post. I had no idea what to expect when I started down this path and now one year later, Making Home Base has grown to something that I’m so proud of!

I started this blog at the beginning of my husband’s second deployment. Our baby was just a few months old and I was ready to take on the challenge of decorating our bland base house. I knew there were many of you out there that had similar challenges with decorating their rentals I hoped I could inspired you all. I know you guys have inspired me!

In a year, I’ve shared so much; Christmas without my husband, our homecoming, my daughter’s first birthday, and many many crafts and home decor projects. Today, on my blog birthday I thought it would be fun to share my top 5 favorite projects from the beginning.

Cheers to year 2.
