Never Without Navy One Year Anniversary & Nordstrom Gift Card Giveaway

I cannot believe it has been one year since I launched Never Without Navy! I look back on some of my first posts and think to myself, that seems like a lifetime a go! Then all of a sudden the blog’s one year anniversary was coming up and I wondered, how did it get here so fast? Before launching this site, I spent a lot of time educating myself and learning about what it took to run a blog. I thought I was fully prepared and pretty much knew what I was doing. Wow, was I wrong! The truth of the matter is, is that this has been a continuous learning process and I am doing things I never thought I would be capable of doing a year ago! This is what has made this journey so rewarding thus far! Thank you for following along!

A lot of the learning has come from knowing what my readers want and respond to. You may remember at the beginning of this year, I conducted a survey asking for reader feedback and what preferred content you wanted to see on Never Without Navy. I continue to strive to bring my followers content they look forward to reading. I am always open to feedback and suggestions, so don’t be shy (just be nice!). You can always email me or leave a note in the comment section at the end of a post.

 

I have also learned that I cannot run this blog on my own.

I have gained knowledge, have been offered great advice and have received lots of answers to cries of help, thanks to the support from a wonderful community of fellow bloggers, photographers and tech savvy gurus. But I had no idea that in this process, I would gain such a strong network of friends! That has been an unforeseen blessing!

As Never Without Navy heads into it’s second year, I plan to continue to bring you great style posts and all that I love and discover in Chicago and beyond but I also want to move into some other areas that are starting to become important in my life as well! As I already touched on, I am always open to suggestions for topics you want to be reading about!
