December 31, 2010 Archives - Momma Go Round

I know, I know….another “top posts of 2010″ post. But I couldn’t resist!

I started this blog this year and it has turned into more than I ever could have expected.

I’ve found support.
I’ve found friends.
I’ve found moms just like me.
I’ve found out I’m not the only one.
I’ve found my creative side.
I’ve found my voice.
I’ve found me!

After having LJ, I felt like I lost a part of who I was when I stopped working. I finally got the job I had wanted for years, only to stop to stay home with LJ 7 months later. I LOVE that I get to stay home, but I was having a hard time with the whole definition of Nina being “mother”.

So here it is folks, my top 10 posts of the year. The ones that I am proud of, that you loved, and the ones that helped me find myself again.

10) World’s Best Dad: BSB loved this card soooo much! It was the first thing that I remember making him that truly blew him away

9) Candles for Chemo: I still hate that I had to ever write this post, but I’m so happy that I could use my blog to help a friend.

8) Black Friday Crash Course: I’ve always wanted to go Black Friday shopping…just never thought my first time would be with a toddler in tow. It was all worth it for the crazy deals we got!

7) Letting The Kid Be A Kid: As my good friend Mater would say, “He was happier than a tornado in a trailer park!”

6) The Challenge I Never Should Have Made: Yep, still laughing at this now.

5) Scalloped Petals T-Shirt Tutorial: I love the double layers of the petals and how similar it looks to the JCrew original. Pretty awesome if I say so myself!

4) Inspiring {Amanda Ply}: My girl Amanda is AMAZING! I’m so proud of her and promise you will love her and her music.

3) It All Came Together: LJ’s 1st birthday was the first party I’ve thrown from top to bottom. Although he’ll never remember any of it, I’ll remember every minute, detail, and effort that went into it.

2) It Was One of THOSE Nights: The days of snuggling in bed with my little man are numbered. I’m so proud that I could take a moment to enjoy it instead of being mad that I wasn’t sleeping.

1) Flutter Flower Shirt Tutorial: Still my single most popular post! This tutorial has been picked up by blogs all around the world…can you believe it? I guess Turkey, Spain, Mexico, and Germany love it too!
