Simply the Best 6 Years

Happy Bloggy Birthday to me.

Polka-Dotty Place turned SIX on July 1st!

I can't believe it's been six years since I started blogging.  I knew I'd love it, but I just didn't realize how much.  I have made the best blogging friends and been lucky enough to meet some in real life.  I've had the best opportunities come my way from blogging and I have had the best time sharing projects, recipes and my family with you.

Thank YOU for reading along and being interested in what I do.

I have 2 questions for you:

1. Where do you live?

2. What kinds of posts would you like to see from me in the coming year??


I have LOVED LOVED LOVED writing for my blog for the past 6 years.  It has easily become my favorite hobby, the best way I document my family and my go to spot to record special moments in our life.  I am so thankful to have one spot to keep track of all the things that make me smile.

I thought I'd share a few of my best posts with you:

My Best RECIPE:
Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread is the most pinned recipe on my blog!


I love sharing recipes with you guys.  I think the Cheeseburger Quesadilla would definitely win for a delicious new recipe.  It was easy and my family loved it.

I've also got football on the brain and am ready for college football to start.  I am thinking of all the yummy game day food I can make for my family and my Homemade Chili is at the top of that list.

My Best PARENTING Post:
Enjoying Road Trips with a One Year Old is my most pinned parenting post.


I loved finally writing out our infertility story this year.
Infertility: I Never Thought It Would Happen to Me... Twice

A few other favorite blog posts:

My T-Shirt Book Report post always gets a lot of attention from my teaching days.

I love throwing a good birthday party and you can find them all under the birthday tab on my sidebar:
Every person needs a great Perfect Buttercream Recipe and this is mine.  It works for cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, graham crackers and icing and more.  It's so easy and so good.

Here are my best tips for making family photo shoots go smoothly:

I've got some fun things in the works for another year of blogging!  Stay tuned :)


It's time to link up with my favorite Tuesday Talk ladies.

  7. Congrats on six years! I am from Central Indiana. I am fairly new to your blog. I believe I found you through Rhonda at If you do stuff, stuff gets done. I plan to make the cinnamon roll monkey bread this weekend. My family will love it! I also have an infertility story. Mine ended with a trip to China to bring our sweet girl home 10 years ago. :) This will be our first year homeschooling, starting with sixth grade. I will use the t-shirt report idea. Fun!

  8. Lots of love from South Carolina!! I am so happy that we connected (through H54F, I think?) all those years ago. It's been so much fun to follow your adventures, recipes, moves, parties, kitties, babies, toddlers, holidays and more!! I so hope we can meet in real life someday. As for future blog posts, maybe a DITL post? You cover so many fun topics that I can't think of anything you haven't shared!

    Happy 6th blogiversary! Hugs!
