A little late, but everyone hates these posts anyway, right? For posterity's sake…
I always like to wait a few days into the new year to recap how I felt about things and reflect on the year gone by. I re-read through some blog posts over the last week or so and here are the poignant bits…or, rather, just the bits…I don't know that I'd call them poignant.
I wasn't super satisfied with what I read/wrote in the past year. I'm not sure why this is. I liked my "work" from 2012 better.
Here's Kristin's kNook in a nutshell…
I started off the year by sharing 27 Things About Me for my 27th birthday.
I showed you how to make a Valentine's Day bunting decoration too.
In February, I asked Scott to fill out a questionnaire about me. I thought his answers were entertaining.
I also shared my thoughts on Pajama Day, which is a never-ending battle that I find myself fighting in my new school too. I find it to be a most worthy cause, and one in need of all of our attention.
The most memorable part of spring break in March was Scott's PRK eye surgery. And then he shot a caribou. And that was March.
In April, as we got ready to leave Alaska, we had a rough start to the journey. I also shared some things I predicted I'd miss about Alaska (I was right!) and did a flashback of the last few years.
I also shared Muddy Buddy Bars, which is a dinner dessert that includes the best foods known to man: marshmallow, chocolate, peanut butter, and Chex cereal.
May brought a new home in a new state. We also went to Pennsylvania and then we unpacked all the stuff. Was a busy month.
June was really just a month of settling in and catching up. I mainly shared observations of my surroundings. Here's a few. Also, a typical Missouri weekend for me.
July included my second camping trip in as many years. We also brought home our dear, dear Scout.
August brought on some Missouri grievances. I also shared some deep thoughts about missing my teaching job.
And then in September, I got a new teaching job. Also, we took an 18 hour road trip into the middle-of-nowhere, Indiana.
In October, I went back to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum in Mansfield. Then I ranted a little bit. Also, I shared our favoritest ice cream cake.
November led me to share lots of Stuff and Things (including some 2nd grade anecdotes), and some fall desserts (because anytime is a good time to make a fall dessert…even January). Also, I taught you how to roast garlic. You need to try that.
In December, I told how I still believe in Santa. I also threw some confessions out there. Since I splurged on the Clarisonic Mia 2, I told you about it. (Stay tuned for an 8-week review soon!)
What about you? Do you get a kick out of writing/reading recaps? I look at it as a necessary evil. Self-reflection is an important skill, right?
