Here is my required 2011 blog in review recap. My favorite posts each month as well as my favorite pictures(and the pictures are click-able links to the post they were for if you so desire and you don’t have a date on New Years Eve).
It’s in our blogging contract – section 35, line 4 – that we do this recap. Here’s my 2010 recap for proof of my ongoing blogger compliance.
*******
January
The post that will teach your husband how to grocery shop – When you send a man to the market
February
The post where I share very personal information for probably the first and last time on my blog – my eating disorder.
March
My Mealtime Matters 101 post was picked up by BlogHer. The post to show it’s possible to have a nice dinner at home…even with kids.
April
The post that explained – The Miracle of how Astrid came about.
May
The post that I explained why I have Minivan Envy and then questioned what happened to me.
June
Where I depress you all about the perimenopausal pouch in your future.
July
Where I prove once and for all that I do not coddle my children.
August
The post that proves that the internet and Google are completely crazy.
September
The post that proved that people of the world LOVE jeans and need to take me shopping for jeans. And I had to share a second post because the comments on this post were awesome when I explained why I give my kids responsibilities WITHOUT PAY.
October
The post where I admit I’m always a bride and never a bridesmaid. Oh wait…
November
The post where I truly prove that I am the small boobs blogger.
December
The post where I give you proof that a fake tree is always the right answer.

Happy New Year to you all. See you in 2012! xo

Love the post on Astrid. I feel the same way about my little miracle, too.
Even when I get sick of blog recaps, I’ll never get sick of yours. I caught up on some here that I hadn’t seen before. Gorgeous writing, T.
Loved your post. Your pictures are such an inspiration for me. Loved all the shots of the your sweet family. I’ve made the goal to go full manual every Sunday in 2012. Wishing you all the best!
Thank you!! Love your goal. Happy 2012!
Great list & beautiful pictures, Tracy! So many I missed over the course of the year. I hope you & your lovely family have a Happy New Year!
Oh what a stunning year its been! I’ve so loved getting to know you this year, friend!
You? Are amazing!
xo
Same to you, Galit. I hope to see you more in 2012 also. xoxo
I went back and read the ones I’d missed.
So thank you.
Really.
Thank you for your talents and inspiration during 2011..and for your friendship and being older than I am. We will for sure meet in 2012 dear friend. xo
Each of those pictures speaks a thousand words. Thank you for the inspirations, laughter, and insights you’ve shared through your posts.
May the new year fill your home with even more joy, your heart with love, your mind with peace, and your life with lots of laughter!
Happy New Year to you also, my sweaty friend. xo
Total, complete, and absolute photo envy.
I was lame with the photos this year.
You, however, were awesome.
And how could we ever get tired of you, my dear? Simply could not happen.
Why did I not think of a photo recap? You are a genius…and so very talented. Loved every single one of those posts.
You better do a photo recap post also, my uber talented friend. xo
It is required that we do this, isn’t it?
Happy New Year!
I concur with the photo envy. Seriously–I think you could make a pile of mud look pretty. (not that any of your pics look like a pile of mud…)
Happy new year to you pretty lady!
Love your look back and spending this past year getting to know you. xo
Loved getting to know you in 2011 dear friend. Such an incredible year. Happy 2012. Love you. xo
Year-round entertainment – you are the best!
SO glad we saw each other again in 2011. More in 2012 yes??? xo
This was the best 2011 recap I have read!!!
Glad to see most of these pictures again, especially the one of Astrid in yellow w/the yellow balloons. I love it.
1. I am a rookie here.
2. I spent way too much time reading your recap.
3. Why have kiddos if they aren’t going to clean my house?
4. I love this blog.
Happy New Year!

lol – thank you so much!! Happy New Year.
P.S. – EXACTLY on the kids cleaning the house thing…
I’m not sure what is best…the title, your always amazing pictures or the fact that I totally forgot how you dressed like the Pioneer Woman for halloween. Love it all.
Happy New Year Tracy! I have loved all of the posts in your Recap list. I cannot believe the perimenopausal pouch post was from June, I seriously feel like I read that last week! I did not do a recap, but I have barely blogged in a month, so there’s less to recap that way. BTW, the b&w pic of you with the girls in May is one of my favorites, SO lovely!
All the best to you in 2012!!
There are some awesome photos here but I still think my favorite is the one of you lookin’ like PW! Oh and that first one of Astrid. Be still my beating heart – those PINK CHEEKS!!!!
Happy 2012 Baby!!! xo
I love all of your pictures. What a great year you’ve had. I hope 2012 is just as great.
Your photography is just amazing, Tracy!
Going to catch up now.
I hate missing good blog posts.
I love playing catch up!
Thank you for a great blogging year
