2013 in review


If you're like me, you're having trouble believing that today is the last day of 2013.  Wow!  The year flew by, didn't it?

It's fun to take a quick look back.  Here are some of my top posts from 2013.

I started the year getting ready mentally and physically for the fact that I was turning 50!  My kind readers helped me choose a new profile photo for this momentous year.



My oldest son graduated from college in May, and I spent a lot of time reflecting on that.  I wrote about the ways we are perfect:


And I thought about my 22 years of parenting and realized there's one thing parents really need to remember.



My summer was challenging in many ways, including a couple of instances of identity theft.  I learned that what you don't know can hurt you!



On a happier note, I did a lot of work in the house this year, including projects big and small.  I completely a much-needed re-do of my laundry room.



 My biggest project was completely re-doing my living room.



I had lots of fun showing you around my house in my Fall Home Tour:
And of course I loved sharing all my Christmas decor in my Christmas Home Tour:



Thanks so much for taking a look back at 2013 with you.  Here's hoping that your new year is full of God's richest blessings!

I'm joining Rhoda at Southern Hospitality for her Top Projects of 2013 link party.
