Another year has flown by. The older I get, the faster it goes. My babies keep getting bigger! Here's a look back at some of our most memorable moments of 2012 and the most popular blog posts of the year!
Top THREE popular posts of the year - based on page views this year:
The most popular post of the YEAR with over 3100 page views, was the
Mid Year School Room Makeover.
Our
Blood Model post with over 1900 page views was second most popular - I am certain this was due to Pinterest.
Third most popular blog post with over 1200 page views was our
Tornado Alley post - also, thanks to Pinterest!

This year had its ups and downs. Rather than dwell on the sucky parts, I am focusing on the positive and how 2013 can be better for our family. I have some goals and plans for the blog over the next couple of months and I am making some changes in our homeschool that will hopefully be for the better.
Happy New Year, everyone!

You had a fantastic year Mary!!! I love the road trip. I want to plan something like that for this year for my boys since we are taking a departure and studying US history. Please tell me how you decided what places you wanted to see?
You done such a wonderful job of photographing and journaling your family's experiences and moments.
Now I am going to go visit the postings that I missed.
Happy New Year!!
