Looking Back at our 2025 Blogging Year
This January has been not only full of reflection but also looking ahead towards what 2026 will hold. In the moments of reflection, we are taking some time to pause, reflect, and appreciate the journey this blog has taken over the past year. Our 2025 Year of Blogging 2025 held a big milestone for us–we had our five year anniversary of creating A Sustainably Simple Life! What a journey it has been from coming up with an idea in Krista’s living room to having tens of thousands of people reading what we are writing.

Our 2024 Year of Blogging This blogging reflection generally happens often, but the actually putting it down on paper seems to happen every two years. The last time I made a post like this it was about our 2022 blogging year. In a way these posts feel a bit…

Looking Back at our 2022 Blogging Year
Every time we cross that January 1st threshold into a new year, I’m shocked that time has sped by yet again. I’m not always very intentional about stopping to reflect on the previous year, but was inspired by one of Michelle’s latest posts at Boomer Eco Crusader to do just that. Our 2022 Year of Blogging Michelle’s post that I’m referring to is her 2022 Blog Recap of Best Posts and Highlights and it inspired me to think back on our blog and check out some of the unique stats that she references. (If you haven’t had a chance to view Michelle’s blog yet, this is a great post to…
