I started this blog way back in December 2009, and I was an eager little blogger with very consistent postings. I went through a rut in the spring - we were planning a move, had family in town visiting a lot and were able to do some traveling (hello, Florida, Nebraska & The Bahamas!).
Since this summer was mainly spent looking for jobs out in California, I had the time to revive Ice Cream & Wine - and I'm so happy I did. I have way more readers now than I ever expected to have. During the first few months, only my family and closest friends kept up with this blog. Now I'm happy to say that Ice Cream & Wine has been seen in 44 states and 19 countries! Now I realize that there are many more blogs out there that have better stats than that - but I'm very proud and appreciate the readers that keep coming back for more!
As a thank you, I'm giving away some Trader Joe's goodies! Y'all know I'm rather obsessed with TJ's, so I thought I'd share some of my favorite goods with you! Here's what one of you will win:
