2015 in Review For FrugElegance

FrugElegance Highlights of the 2015!!

2014 was a year of FrugElegance blog beginnings & lots of learning. Everyone has to start somewhere, right?! Big changes came in January ’15, when we moved FrugElegance from Tumblr to WordPress – the best example to describe this move is that we started in an apartment but had to move into a house. It took us a few months to unpack & settle in and we will keep updating & decorating as our blog grows.

Speaking of learning, we were had a blast at the SnapConf’15 blog conference, in Salt Lake City Utah, in April. That makes 2 years in a row.. and guess what.. we signed up to go to SnapConf 2016 too!

Here are a few blog highlights from 2015:
