Wow. So on the 17th of October Kisses & Chaos (along with AlliWoodsFrederick.com) turned 1 year old. I can hardly believe it. I have made so many changes during this past year, including leaving my 9-5 cubicle of chaos and pouring all my love and attention into my family, my art, my wedding photography, this blog and you.

I’ve also put together a top 5 list of everyone’s favorite posts (and a few of my own) from our first year together…just in case you might have missed a few of them.
Your Faves:
1) 5 Top Secret Things You Need to Know about Marriage
You should really really really know these things. Seriously. The sanity you save may be your own.
2) How to Channel Your Inner Luna Lovegood
What can I say. I’m a Harry Potter fan and firm believer that Luna is a total genius who is 100% genuine. Take notes.
3) 50 Ways to Bring Warmth to Your Winter
Yes, snuggling is on the list. Duh.
4) 50 Things to do During the Post-Apocalypse
Take a cue from the boy scouts and be prepared…you’ll thank me later. Scouts honor.
5) Things You Need to Know: The C Word
I’m a cancer survivor and in this post I drop some knowledge for ya…I strongly suggest you pick up what I’m puttin’ down. For realz.
My Faves:
We have all encountered them. This guide teaches you how to identify and deal with those life-sucking negative nancys once and for all.
What can I say about my honey? He’s hilarious and clever and I wish I could get him to write more posts. Damn I’m a lucky woman.
One of my favorite places in the world with my favorite person in the world. It was perfect…wrong turns and all.
This one is pretty personal for me, but I think a lot of people can really understand and appreciate the feelings behind it.
What’s in store for year 2? I have some pretty awesome things in the works that will unfold over time. But more importantly, is there anything YOU would like to see more of this year? Less of? Is there a topic you would love to see me cover? Let me know. I want our second year together to be even better than the first so feel free to get in touch with me and let me know what I can do for you. I’m always open to suggestions.
Thanks again for making this a great first year.
Kisses & Chaos,
Alli Woods Frederick
