What a Difference a Year Makes! Happy Birthday 3P!

Posted on Nov 1 2014 - 9:30pm by Jessi Meehan

We’ve had an incredible year sharing our world, our work, and our sometimes wacky ideas with you…getting to know our readers, help our readers, and truly “living the dream”. So much fun has been had with table-scapes, holidays, potluck parties, trips to the Man Cave, weddings, birthdays, crafts…even midweek meal planning became something to look forward to. Fasten your seat belts as we take a ride down memory lane to say HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY, to our beloved blog. As my little brother John said on my parents first anniversary: “Bwenda…I can’t be-weeve it’s been a YEE-AH!” 😉

How it all started: a cup of tea and a trip to the market turned our home into an Autumn wonderland! Kicking off the season with simple seasonal decor ideas got us rolling, readers reading, and a community started almost instantly.

Remember when we helped our friend Jen with her Thanksgiving table, last minute? Turkey day was truly terrific!

The Man Cave asked the question: REAL OR FAKE!?

Can you believe we decorated a tree for easter? Made Bunny pops? Oh the zany places 3P has gone…

Fast forward to a summer family meal in the backyard: our Memorial Day Menu knocked it out of the park!

We hung the party lights, roasted the turkey, and set the table for CHRISTMAS IN JULY! Only at 3P would we do a full turkey dinner not once, not twice, but FOUR times in a year!

And who could forget our Go-To-Salad Guide? With the help of all of you we gathered up the best fresh and crisp creations!

Since the summer, we’ve been working and playing non-stop around the clock to bring ideas to share, laughs to be had, tables to dine at, holidays to be thankful for and more. There is no way we could have made this journey without each and every one of you! We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking this wild trip with us, and building such a beautiful community for 3P! Now have a slice of cake and eat it too! Happy Birthday to Our Baby….you’ve come a long way!
