So, on January 27th, 2010, I published my very first blog post. Back then I had a blogspot.com address and had no idea what I was doing. Sometimes I still don’t feel like I know what I’m doing, but I’ve gotten a little better at this blogging thing (maybe?).
A lot has changed in the last four years. Here’s a look at our lives, then and now.
Then:
We had three kids, Henry (3), Ivy (1), and Essie (baby)
Now:
We have four, Henry (8), Ivy (6), Essie (4), and Ervin (2)
Then:
The oldest two were extremely close and loved dressing up.
Now:
The oldest three are super close (especially the girls) and they all dress up.
Then:
We ate gluten. A lot.
Now:
We’re gluten free.
Then:
I talked a lot about poop (and with two toddlers and a baby, who wouldn’t?).
Now:
I mostly keep the poop talk to myself. You’re welcome.
Then:
I was blondish with short hair.
Now:
I’m brunette-ish with bangs.
Then:
I was married to this guy (the tall one).
Now:
I’m still married to that guy.
Then:
I had some…er…baby weight to lose. (To be fair, I was actually “with child” again shortly after starting the ol’ blog)
Now:
I’ve (thankfully) lost the bab(ies) weight.
We’ve come a long way, baby.
How long have you been blogging?

I love the then and now!
You are so beautiful, by the way. In case you haven't heard that in a while.
so great looking back. You look fabulous, your babies have grown and are adorable, and this blog is wonderful. way to go!
Happy blogoversary – love your now and then!
I love looking back at all the old photos. And I just want to say for the record: YOU CAN OFFICIALLY ROCK ANY HAIRSTYLE! Seriously, I am jealous! You look phenomenal with the shorter, cropped do (& blond), and now with bangs you look just as gorgeous. Most of all, you look so young and in shape and happy. Always. Love you.

Essie's expressions slay me. She is so adorable. Of course they all are. And wowza momma. Check you out. Super hot.
You make me want to get bangs.
(I know. Random comment. But true!)
Congratulations on four years. I started in 2010, too – but in August.
And I post so infrequently, I feel guilty saying I've been blogging for three years.
I know it's not a race but sometimes I still believe I'm behind.
But I'm also still here.
(And soon, I might have bangs 🙂
Happy blogoversary! 4 years yay! I think I am at almost 6 years. Wow. I don't actually know though. Love the then and now pics. You and your family were and are just lovely!
Happy Blogiversary!
And, #everybodypoops. 😉
Looking HOT, mamacita!! Love the then and now. It's crazy how things change when you're busy writing about it!
I will have been blogging 3 years on Feb 8th, which is crazy to me cause I still feel like a newbie. I loved seeing all these old pictures of all of you.
This is an awesome look back at how things changed yet remained the same since yiu started blogging. Great pics and I love your shorter hair do. It's cute!!!! 🙂
Happy 4 years! I love the then and nows, especially seeing some of the older pictures of your kids that I haven't seen before since I've only been blogging actively half of that time. They were so cute (still are). Also, while I love the older pictures, I don't think you'll mind me saying that your photography now is awesome!! And I liked the shorter blonde-ish hair on you too.
You have the cutest family, then and now! And you look great! Congrats on 4 years, here's to MANY more!
SO much can happen in just four short years… hairstyles aside. (: Happy blogoversary. PLEASE keep doing what you're doing.
Happy blogoversary! I love this look back. You were adorable then, and you're adorable now.
Happy Blogiversary, Greta! I'm convinced that you would look gorgeous with any hairstyle.
I LOVE this! And, indeed, you've come a long way, baby! I'm excited to follow you as you keep stepping forward!
Happy Blogiversary!!
I love the look back at your beginnings and how much has changed – and stayed the same – between then and now. 🙂
Happy blogoversary! I'm copying the others – I didn't/don't know how to spell that. I love then-and-now perspectives. It's cool to see how you and your family is changed. Hope the next four years are just as sweet for you.
Happy 4 years! I LOVE the then and now updates. The hair, the babies, the gluten….so great. I relate to so much of it. And sister, you look amazing!!!!!
4 years, no way! I love those old pictures. You were so cute! And so were your kids. (Can barely imagine your family without Erv.) Happy blogaversary!
