My friend Mandy did a
Year in Haps over at her blog… And, that really made me want to go back and wander the last 12 months of this year…. It’s seriously fun to wander back and remember what-the-hey I’ve been up to. ๐ Say hello to A Year of The Paper Mama blog!
January
February
We had lots of fun with birthday parties and trying new foods… plus we used our new
zoo pass! I turned 28 and bought myself a
new lens with my birthday moolah! Heck yeah! I’m the best wife ever and made
bacon hearts for our small budget Valentine’s dinner! I shared some photos of my
shoulder tattoo. My Mr. turned 32. I tried out
vlogging for the first time. AND, my favorite… we had the most random and beautiful
snow day in February! And, Ruari hung out with her
Forced Best Friend.
March
I took some really
sweet photos of Ruari in front of Toys ‘R Us. She just stood there and didn’t move! We had MORE birthday parties and a baby shower. I tried out my first
hair tutorial and LOVED it. Some baby
meltdowns were getting me down… AND, I talked about starting my
surrogacy research.
April
I celebrated my one year
blog anniversary for The Paper Mama blog! I tried out another hair style tutorial:
Messy Side Pony. I asked for
advice on how to raise an independent strong girl. MORE birthday parties… My child lost her mind and does some MAJOR
babble talk in this 10-minute video I recorded. It’s hilarious. Ummm… I found 5 pairs of
vintage shoes for $20! We had a little vacation with family in
Bellingham.
Happy Easter! And, an
important woman in my life. Then, to end the month I met up with a bunch of beautiful bloggers to
March for Babies in Washington. <3
May
Why not… I headed up to WA again for a little
girls night out and I LOVED it. A LOT. And, we took the best photo ever… see below. I shared
part deux of things I’ve said as a mom that I never thought I’d say. More
zoo time! A welcome to baby
Ayana. More birthdays. I had a much needed
date night with hubby.
June
We got to know Jess from
IROCKSOWHAT better in my Get to Know a Mama series. I started ANOTHER
this before that list… and: I haven’t really finished much. I will do better this year! AND, I wandered up to WA again… for a
playdate with my favorite bloggers. My kid was
glued to me. I was working out and getting in
shape! A
hair tutorial and Happy father’s day to my hubs!
