When I published my post yesterday I was surprised to see on the sidebar that it was my 500th post.
500 times I have written something important to me, hit ‘publish’ and you, dear reader, have to taken the time to not only read it but often ‘like’ the post or add your comments.
It is a good time to reflect on what I have written and trawl through the archives. Here are 5 posts that seem to have touched a chord for whatever reason.
Friday Favourites – Mango & Avocado Salad

Thanks. I am now up to 502!!
Congratulations on writing 500 posts. I keep wondering if I will have enough to say to ever reach that number.
I am sure you will – days roll into months, then years…………
Congtatulations on your 500th post. I enjoy reading your blog and your tips for decluttering. I’m still making and enjoying your pizza base recipe.
Carolx
Thank you. Glad the pizza base has been a success for you. Please let me know how the decluttering goes.
Good on you Fairy. It takes determination and organisation to keep this going !
Thanks, Barb. I was determined to be consistent in posting and I seem to have been successful.
The Big 500 wow! I look forward to reading your blog and you are one of the few bloggers I follow who actually reply to my comments. Thank you Fairy.
Sometimes I am a bit slow with replying but do try to do it because I know how much I appreciate it when I get response to comments I make on other blogs. I am glad you enjoy reading and I certainly appreciate your thoughtful comments.
Congratulations Fairy, very much enjoy your blog & your comments on SS.
Thank you Meredith. What is your SS name? (Don’t answer if you don’t want to.) 🙂
wow 500 posts …Congratulations Fairy ….looking forward to reading all the future posts…:)
Thanks Sherrie.
Amazing 500 posts:) Well done Fairy, I’ve loved reading evey post, as you know I started reading from the beginning a few weeks ago. I’m always excited when I see a new post sent via my e-mail address, it’s the only blog I follow where I receive such an e-mail. I’m so looking forward to reading the next 500:)
Another 500? I guess it will happen (a couple more years). Thanks for your kind words.
Congratulations on your 500 posts, such a milestone. I’m a new follower, and wish to be long time follower on your blog.
Hi Rivernik
Welcome and thanks for joining in. I hope you will find lots to interest you here.
Congrats Fairy! You inspire me to use EVErYTHING! Waste not want not! LOve your post about the spreadable butter…this saves me heaps with a family!
Welcome Niesh. The spreadable butter is great, isn’t it? So much butter than a tub full of chemicals called margarine.
Congratulations! That’s quite the milestone ;D
Thanks, Alice. It is a milestone that I never considered when I began writing this blog.
Just joining now. Look forward to reading more.
Welcome, Marion. I hope you find some interesting things in the archives and there is always something new.
Oooh a mystery giveaway – that sounds exciting! count me in!
am a newbie but enjoying what I’ve read so far…and looking forward to many more
I’m definitely a follower… but I didn’t do the “sign me up” thing – I followed via my blogger dashboard…
I always read, sometimes it takes me a few days to get to it, but I just love the direction you’re heading. When I find my mojo I’ll be doing the same sort of thing at my place… hey – you haven’t got my mojo have you? Is that how you’re doing all this stuff????
🙂
congrats! and thanks for the chance =D
I have only recently found you and your your Organized Castle and I am hooked already. I have enjoyed going back through some of your past blogs and feel you speak for so many of us who like a nice, neat and tidy home and your comments and advice really do hit the spot.
New I may be but I am already an avid follower. Each day I search my emails for your latest and can’t wait to hear what you have to say.
Congratulations on your 500th blog and I hope there are many more.
Well you now have another follower! I thought I already was – I’ve been receiving your emails for ages. Congratulations on reaching such a huge milestone – very impressive!
500 posts – that’s inspirational! I’m curious about this mystery give away business – only cause I’m committed to being uncluttered – so I’m always assessing things to see if they suit my life etc. But your post helped me ‘follow’ you so I won’t lose you or a post again (happened for a few months when I lost my bookmarks!)
You often leave me chuckling. I guess you wonder why.
