If you can believe it, it’s our First Anniversary of blogging at NewlyWife! We’re going to celebrate this week with some behind the scenes type posts and recapping our first year. To start things off, let’s take a look at some fun stats — don’t worry, there is no math involved!

Thanks for reading! Love, Megan and Emily.

As of Sunday night, we’ve had 39,174 views, 1,296 comments (not including the bazillions of spam, which currently includes 296 unwanted comments that I’m avoiding), 120 Facebook friends, 632 Tweets and 128 followers.

We started off NewlyWife in hopes to build a community of women to connect, learn and have fun. It all began with a post about baby picture frames and credit scores.
