Amazing April: 100th Post!

Well, I somehow missed my one-year blogiversary on March 6. It really didn't feel like it had been a year because my blog got a new look and really got going in January. So Happy Late Blogiversary to us. ;)

But I definitely noticed as my post numbers rose and rose, and here we are now at 100!

For this reason, April has really been amazing, which works out really well with I Am Mrs. K's April blog challenge! You dear readers have responded to posts from this month overall more than ever before (besides a giveaway post in March ;), and I am so grateful!

In honor of April being the best month for Life, KV Style yet, and since there are lots of new readers here who may have missed out on some of these, I wanted to revisit the posts that have been most popular this month:

This post was kind of a whim but pulled straight from the depths of my heart. It was hard to share but something I felt I needed to. And I'm so thankful for the response it got.

This post was also part of Mrs. K's April blog challenge. It was so hard! But I could talk about music all the time ... so you'll be hearing lots more about my favorites on here--maybe even tomorrow. ;)

I was so excited to share this recipe, as it's one I almost totally dreamed up on my own for once. ;) I promise, it's healthy and tasty!

When the fifth anniversary of my great-grandmother's passing came on April 9th, I had to do something special. And the best way for me to do that is to write. This post meant so much to me.

And you all just really liked this one! I think maybe the word "Popcorn" is what did it, and while it doesn't really taste like popcorn, it really is tasty. And goes well with chicken... What doesn't??

So big thanks to you guys for making April pretty amazing here in blogland. It's been pretty hard in reality (skin surgery on Friday, to name just one thing), except I did finish the last stage of the special diet I've been on since November (though I plan to stay on the food part of the diet for a while yet, as opposed to all the supplements), so I really appreciate all of you who have helped make this a happy place.

How has your April been? You can make it even better by winning a Katya Valera necklace over on The Style Worthwhile!
