I've only been blogging for eleven months and I've evolved my way through two blogs in my short blog life so far. My first "Its all about me-Jen" then my now and fairly new blog called "We're living a full life". I hope you have a bit of time to take a walk down memory lane with me.
Here are my favorite posts for 2011, enjoy!
- Jan 2011 things that bring me joy - take a little glimpse a what makes me happy
- Feb 2011- the letter said " please forgive me"- would you like to know how I came to forgive the man who took the life of my two children?
- April 2011- being with my peeps on Easter- a bit of what it's like in my house when the cousins and my kids-grand-kids descend for the holiday's, chaos and fun.
- May 2011- solace - a very personal reflection of my experience coming first face to face with another mother/friend who lost a her child.
- June 2011- girls and indians & June 2011- breathing in freedom - two pieces I wrote for RemembeRed, and I just couldn't decide between the two. (since I've only been blogging for eleven months I included two for June)
- July 2011- loyalty - this is another RemembeRed piece, a meme revealing a personal dilemma and the lengths I went to right a wrong.
- Aug 2011- party hats and other silly things we do- does you family have funny family rituals, we like to make the kids feel
speciallike jerks for their birthdays! - Sept 2011- blog and release- there are some things that are so painful to a mother they cut right to the core, this post is about one such experience.
- Oct 2011- la la la la la- at this point I write about finding my voice in my blogging life, read about it here.
- Nov 2011- thanksgiving plans & a peek at the past- thanksgiving with my family- pictures too.
- Dec 2011- santa's been reading my blog - a short post about my super fantastic early Christmas gift- say cheese.
I don't expect you to read each and every one (not that I'd mind) but I'd love to hear if you have one that you especially liked.
I'm thinking that I met you right at the tail end of your It's All About Me Jen blog? Maybe?
ReplyDeleteAnd that napkin hat you made your son wear is cracking me up!
That's right Liz, but I just wanted a new space and a new name so I moved myself over here!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter forgot his silly hat so we had to improvise!
I ended up reading them all. I hope you have a Bloggy 2012. Visiting from Mamakat's
ReplyDeleteI chose the same prompt as you. I am enjoying going through your list of favorites. I chose the same prompt so I know how hard it was to choose! You are an inspirational woman.
ReplyDeleteFeel free to link up to my 2011 Year-in-Review party here: http://theterpblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/2011-looking-back.html

Hi, I'm visiting from Mama Kat's, and plan to return later to read your posts.
ReplyDeleteWow - your February post description made my jaw drop. I can't imagine.
Have a good day - I'll be back.
Looking back over some of the posts I missed before I started following you just reminds me why you are one of my favorite bloggy friends to visit every day.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading more in 2012!
Thanks to all the ladies above for your wonderfully supportive comments; I'm touched.
ReplyDeleteI love the birthday hats Jen! How funny that your son refused, and they had to put him in a headlock w/the napkins!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great year for you. If times permit I would love to read them all :) Happy New Year!
