I really enjoy writing with some of the Blog Dare's prompts, and today, we're looking back! A few of my favorite posts from 2011!
January
A little late to the game of cloth diapering, but I blogged about getting into it. And I absolutely LOVE cloth now! It isn't as complicated or disgusting as most people make it to be, and it's friendly on the environment and can be to wallets too!
Wish I'd Known...Cloth Diapers!
February
Discovering the Me in Mommy's first blog event! I was absolutely thrilled to host my first blog event. I even created my own button, and with the generous help of sponsors, we had a fun cloth-related event with giveaways to share!
March
New to a more natural lifestyle, thinking about the possibilities of artificial dyes and its dangers made me more aware of what I put in my mouth and into the mouths of my family.
Beware of Food Dyes
April
With my daughter verbally communicating more with me, I was overjoyed by a sweet Mommy Moment! It was the start to the now continuing call of, "Mommy!" An encouraging look back when harried days come.
May
Another post about remembering the increasing growth and development of our children. Though the frustrations of the toddler years, I remembered the positive traits my daughter was developing, and my pride as a mother shone.
June
This was a fun adventure! My husband did almost all of the work, but we grew plants which were heirloom, not genetically-modified. And the richness of taste (as well as nutrition) is well worth all the investments!
Our non-GMO garden!
July
Independence Day Thoughts -- July 4th of every year, I am once again reminded of the privilege it is to be an American citizen, especially since I had the opportunity to decide whether I wanted to be a citizen or not!
August
I like to reflect, and thinking back 10 years ago makes me eager to see what the next 10 years will hold!
September
I need to be deliberate about my role as parent and teacher. Life reminded me about those teachable moments!
October
My attempt to find a better plan of action for my daily routine --Squeezing more out of 24 hours?!?
November
I love it when couponing meets gifting! With the season of giving around Thanksgiving and Christmas, I was able to coupon to purchase even more for charities!
December
I like looking back to see what's happened but also like thinking about what could possibly be for the future!

ReplyDeleteHi. Thank you for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteCloth diapering was ok. We used cloth for our first three sons until I have to homeschool 2 kids and had a fourth baby. We switched to paper just because it saved us more time.
