Mamakat: And That's The Way It Was

Mamakat's prompt:  This year in blog posts…choose a favorite post from each month of 2011 and share. I had fun looking back!  The pictures are random.   I posted something every day in 2011, which was actually a New Year's resolution.  Yay me!

January:

I liked this post  about the benefits of ruckus raising.  I would like to see a candidate add this particular plank to his platform.  I'd vote for them.

February:

This post  is alllll about my feelings about Valentine's Day.  Although chocolate is always appreciated on any day of the year.  

March:

I got deep about Robert Frost in this post.  I was in a mood. Having a T. Rex in your backseat will do that.



April:

I jumped right into the A to Z Blogging Challenge with both feet, and felt very accomplished.  This post was for the letter E  and probably could have also been used for the letter P(for phobia!). 

May:

I had some new experiences with parenting, and decided that my son and I are not going to be BFFs.

June:

Nobody ever believes me when I mention the number of times I've set my kitchen on fire. Actually, even I have trouble believing it.

July:


I firmly believe that the word "can't" should be erased from our language.  It is a bad word for kids to use!



August:

I am still looking for this chair, dammit!  If you see it, please let me know.

September:

One of the hardest parts of being a parent is letting kids climb their own mountains.


October:

I shared my visualization exercise with the folks at Write on Edge.  It was challenging to put it down on paper after so many years in my head. 

November:

I wrote about how some women compensate for perceived social shortcomings.

December:

I celebrated my child's interest in pushing past every boundary, even if it's my job as a parent to rein him back in.
