2012-2013

What a year! So many things have happened, I don't even know where to start! It seems a little crazy that just a year ago Andrew and I were visiting California, then Texas, and then living in his Grandma's basement looking for a job! Although it's been hard at times, what a ride it's been! I've accomplished so many things, the least of which not being the birth of my beautiful daughter! I've learned a lot and grown from my experiences/mistakes (many MANY mistakes!), so I'd say this year hasn't been a waste!
In order to celebrate the year's successes, I want to give you the 2012 Top Twelve! These are my favorite posts from the year. Happy New Year!

Chevron:

Crib Set Extravaganza!

This is DEFINITELY one of my favorites because it's so easy and quite inexpensive, compared to buying an entire crib set that would cost you around $100-$200. Plus, it's actually really fun to make!

Christmas Advent Calendar

I worked SO hard on this and it turned out JUST the way I imagined it would!

Lace:

Wearable Blanket

This is the PERFECT baby shower gift! And not too difficult, either.

Drape Dress Skirt... Thing

One of my favorites because who doesn't love matching with their little girl?

Poems:

My Nose is a Hose

This is my absolute FAVORITE poem that I have ever written! Hopefully I'll get illustrations done and get the book published someday!

Babies Don't Keep

This is my favorite poem that makes me smile and cry at the same time.

Edelweiss

The song that I sing to my little Chelsea every night before bedtime.

Tastes:

The BEST homemade Oreo Cookies EVER!

Seriously... These are a-MA-zing. Never mind that the recipe calls for Devil's food cake and my picture shows Chocolate Fudge...

Beauty:

Bodacious Braidhawk

This one was so much fun! When my hair gets longer, I'll totally rock it!

Me:

What I wore on this fabulous Friday

This has quickly become my favorite outfit!

Family:

Chelsea's Photo Shoot

This is definitely one of my favorites because it contains some of the best photos of my precious daughter and represents the joy that she has brought to the lives of her parents.

Family Timeline

This is almost a cheat Top Twelve post because it links to a bunch of others, but this is the timeline version of our family history.

And that's twelve! Happy Holidays and I'll see you next year! I always got fooled by that. I especially hated it when teachers would say, "You have no homework until next year!" Ha... ha... Very funny.
