As a part of Mama Kat’s Writers Workshop, I decided to link up and list out my favorite posts of the year.
And woah, did I ever take my time on this one.
Seriously, you guys, these are ones NOT to be missed.
So take a day, a week, an hour….and read each and every one.
You know, with ALL that free time you have.
I promise that if you do, you will feel THAT much closer to me.
And if we’re closer, we’re all happier in the end.
Okay, so, I’ll start with the first paragraph of each post, and then I’ll link to the title for you to keep reading.
I like to make things easy for my readers.
{it’s all a part of the love i have for you. xoxo}
January:
{i spent the month of January journaling EACH day of Tracy Anderson‘s 30 Day Method. This here is the final post}
Being that I kinda sorta consider myself one of the 30 Day Method experts, and since I want everyone who begins Tracy Andersons The 30 Day Method
to be successful, I’ve done my best to put together all I know and all I’ve learned in one place.
to be successful, I’ve done my best to put together all I know and all I’ve learned in one place.Of course if there’s anything I’ve missed or anything else you want to know, feel free to email me and I’ll do my best to hook you up with the wisdom you need.
Okay, so we’ll start with my tips and advice and then I’ll answer the questions that some of you had.

February:
The other day it came to my attention that there was a website with a specific link dedicated to hatin’ on me.
What started as a specific post to make fun of my home and design choices….ended up being a personal attack on not only myself…but my husband and my kids.
Oh no they di’int.
{not giving the link, they don’t deserve the traffic…although i should thank them for sending me some.}

March:
Holy CRAP.
{meaning: trying to find the HOLY in the midst of the CRAP!}
There comes a point when enough is enough.
And all I want to know is what wine you people recommend as it’s own food group.
{and remind me, what’s the time it’s okay to start? 9 am?}
Wow, this honesty things feels good.
Parents of Toddler’s, you there with me???

April:
It’s what I wore out…{my version of a fashion post}
May:
So that’s what I wanted to say to Chloe as soon as I realized that potty training wasn’t going to be as easy as I hoped it would be.
Somewhere along the way, she picked up some STRONG WILLED ways, of which has NO RELATION to me whatsoever….and it’s really not serving us well in the potty training department.
Um, remember this video where I was crowned Miss People of Walmart.com?….

June:
All I can say is that I am ever so thankful for my relationship with the Lord, because these last few months have been full of challenges and struggles.
And in those moments (and there were plenty) that I felt I just couldn’t deal anymore….I prayed for His strength to replace mine, and it always did.

July:
{and still are to this day, 6 months later!}
August:
I think it’s time to address the elephant in the room….or rather, le elephante.
And that would be….
I don’t actually speak french.
I know.
Most of you are probably quite surprised what with my FRENCH title and all.

But, no.
I speak not even a little.
Or would that be “poquito?”

September:
It was a normal, painfully early, morning…getting Taylor off to school plus a photo shoot with Chloe in our front yard before her first day of preschool…you know, the usual stuff around here. When all of a sudden, I received a desperate call from my sister.
“Missoni is selling out already and the website has been down all morning!”
I felt my heart drop into my stomach. But there was just no time for anxiety poo..
October:
We walk a path sometimes that we have created.
We think and we plan and we’re sure that we have found the way.
And we skip along for awhile, and it’s pleasant for a time and we are happy.
And confident.
In ourselves….

November:
Put aside anxious thoughts and imaginations and say continually,
“The Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in Him and I am helped. He is not only with me, but in me, and I in Him.”

December:
I have it.
And it’s real.
Let me just tell you.
And THAT is why I only have two kids.
~~~~~~~
Whew. That was ALL KINDS of fun.
It’s crazy to go back through a years worth of posts and remember all that you experienced and shared.
I actually think I’ll do this each year from now on….as it will be kinda fascinating to see how each years favorites stack up against the previous years.
It’s the little things that keep me excited.
That’s the life of a stay at home mom.
