I started SugarSpicesLife in April of 2018. At that time I knew nothing about blogging, much less food blogging. But, I wanted to give it a go and committed to myself that I would give it my all for a minimum of a year. Since that time, I have learned a lot, and have had a blast doing it!
First few attempts at a logo:

Much of what I have learned is from trial and error, but I have also learned from reading what others have shared. I still have a lot to learn about food blogging, but I do have a little knowledge, and since I have so greatly appreciated what others before me have shared, I want to share what I’ve learned with you!
Even over the first 6 months, my photography changed:

Over the next 6 months, it changed even more:
