So...2011 Buttons

So... I missed my bloggy birthday back in December.
I normally would have done a recap of the previous year - a "best of" if you will.

Looking back at the posts of 2011, I was on quite a roll until it all just stopped. Pretty abruptly.
Most of it was the move, and the pregnancy, then the miscarriage, then the next pregnancy, and just the craziness of life with young kids.

Blogging definitely took a backseat for the second half of 2011.
And though it hasn't quite found itself quite back in the front seat, it's starting to pop its little head up here and there.

So...in the spirit of blog celebration, here are some of my favorite posts from 2011.


January 2011:: I kicked off the New Year playing Bananagram with First Daughter, got some priceless portraits from my mom, made some MLK donuts, thought about blogging, and had a slumber party in the living room.
February 2011:: I spent most of February participating in the free joy of LOVE photography class, I wrote away about writing, I had a strong desire, a selfish debate, and a secret, celebrated my birthday valentine, and had a waterfall in our freezer.
March 2011:: We moved!, the kiddos played Magic Treehouse, I shared the best mix ever, what's in my bag, our love story in a guest post, and a thing I'm learning through motherhood.
April 2011:: I blogged about seeing the joy, shared a good news minute, discovered that I am the mother, shared more thoughts on motherhood here and here along with a disclaimer, and spent a spring morning on the trail.
May 2011:: I learned that writing helps, started training for another half marathon, celebrated mothers' day, and lost a lot of pictures, poems, and writing.

Which made me lose a lot of blogging momentum.

After that I posted twice in June.
Once in August.
And then shared a few things I was thankful for in November.

Even though 2011 was really only half full of blogging, there were quite a few good ones while the streak lasted.
Here's to another year of blogging and looking forward to more to come!

Thanks for reading this little blog 'o mine.
I'm gonna keep lettin it shine.
