\"SnapHey all! It\u2019s the first blogoversary of my \u201cMoving Happiness Home™\u201d moving blog and all I can say is wow! Wow! Wow! It\u2019s been so much fun writing about moving, California and going green that I wanted to celebrate my first\u00a0moving blog anniversary with you! Around this time last year I remember a photoshoot with NorthStar Moving\u00ae to promote my moving blog and the green moving company sector of the moving process. The photoshoot and moving blog was even featured in Direction Magazine<\/a>! I\u2019ve decided to highlight some of my favorite moving blog sections for my moving \u00a0blog anniversary. Getting to write about NorthStar Moving\u00ae moving the stars<\/a> and my favorite places to move to in the Los Angeles area are just some things making blogging a blast!<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t had a chance to move around my moving blog, let me give you a quick tour! My home page<\/a> features the newest posts I\u2019ve written as well as a sidebar with an awesome bubble game, a donation corner for Claire, my brother\u2019s Twitter feed as well as NorthStar Moving\u2019s\u00ae social media outlets! If you\u2019re looking for quick moving and packing tips, look no further than my Tumblr Tips (also featured on the sidebar). What\u2019s awesome about the sidebar on my moving blog? It stays with you on every page and moving blog post.<\/p>\n

\"Snap
Being green is something NorthStar Moving\u00ae and I have in common!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

CaliFun™<\/a> features posts about California (the best state to move to). This part of the moving blog showcases holiday events in the LA area as well as ways to get there. City Snapshots<\/a> and Pop-arazzi™<\/a> feature cities to move to and the best moving company to get you to them. Happy Home<\/a> likes to give you advice about \u201cMoving Happiness Home™.\u201d Go Green<\/a> snaps to NorthStar Moving\u2019s\u00ae \u201cRed on the Outside, Green on the Inside\u201d<\/a> mentality. And what moving blog doesn\u2019t have a tips section? Instead of writing moving and packing tips, I\u2019ve decided to name my moving blog tips section Snappy Tips™<\/a> because my name is Snap! Get it? Get it? Good! Certainly last but not least I end at Claire\u2019s Corner™<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Claire\u2019s Corner™<\/h3>\n

Claire gets to document her exciting vacations and fundraisers for her foundation \u201cClaire\u2019s Place Foundation!\u201d Battling Cystic Fribrosis and constantly keeping a smile on her face, Claire is a real superhero. I can\u2019t justify how amazing she is, so you should read about Claire<\/a> yourself. If you\u2019d like to donate to Claire, here\u2019s the link<\/a>! Donate in honor of my moving blog anniversary?<\/p>\n

City Snapshots On My Moving Blog<\/h3>\n

City Snapshots is a my moving blog category\u00a0featuring awesome cities to get moving to. Whether traveling or moving, my moving blog focuses Los Angeles cities as well as international\u00a0places!<\/p>\n

From Westwood<\/a> to Santa Clarita<\/a> to Portland and even to the Dominican Republic<\/a> and Paris<\/a> it\u2019s so much fun to write about cities for my moving blog! I love the beach, LA, traveling and I love to write, so this category is perfect for me. Searching Flickr for pics and getting creative about cities for my moving blog moves happiness into my day! I\u2019ve also learned a lot about where I live through my moving blog. I never would have thought Downtown LA<\/a> had a Purple Patrol to keep the area safe and clean!<\/p>\n

Moving Blog Tips<\/h3>\n

\"Do<\/a>Every blog needs great tips for its readers and since I have a green moving blog, I\u2019ve focused on the greening and moving processes. From Do It Yourself Moving<\/a> to gift tips and recipes for the holidays, I write about all occasions focusing on the home. After the Japan earthquake and tsunami in March 2011, I wrote a special moving blog post about earthquake preparedness<\/a>. My moving blog is into safety too!<\/p>\n\n

I think it\u2019s fate!<\/p>\n

I was meant to write a green moving blog! My moving blog strives to put a little Greene<\/del> in your life whether through the moving process<\/a> or ideas for the holidays<\/a>. For all posts about green moving<\/a> check this out on my moving blog!<\/p>\n\n
