Everything Erica Turns 1!

One year ago today, I was laying in bed trying to figure out how to start a food blog. I knew I had a lot to share, but couldn’t tell you the first thing about how to write on a website (let alone build one). I headed over to wordpress.com, signed up for a free, basic blog and just started writing. It was no frills, but for whatever reason, you followed and supported me.

Now, I sit here, a full year later and so much has changed with Everything Erica. My once plain white blog with pink polka dots is now a full blown brand with a following that reached over 115,000 people. I’ve left my full-time job and dedicated my life to growing this brand and sharing my passion about food and cooking. I was able to all of this because you believed in me, supported me and have come with me on this journey.

This year has been full of incredible moments that I will never forget and I am happy to have been able to share all of those memories with you along the way. However, If there is one thing I learned through all of this, it’s, you just have to go for it and follow your heart. I’ve had my fair share of  scary moments and self doubt over the last year. There are times where I was worried how I would pay my rent and there were times that I didn’t think anyone cared what I wrote.

In the end, I know deep down inside that I am meant to share my light-hearted (sometimes self-deprecating) approach to food and cooking. With all your likes, comments and photos of my recipes …I am reminded of that every single day.

Thank you. From the bottom of my heart…thank you.

Love always,
Erica
