Jo-Lynne over at Musing of a Housewife created a fun idea to recap 2010. You are to post the first line from the first post of each month. I added just a little commentary too. So here goes:

January- I am one of the few people who likes resolutions. I love the opportunity to examine my life and think of things I want to add or take away to make it better. I mean, I'm not going to beat myself up if I don't succeed. I'm just going to try and learn. And yes, I do this every day of the year. It's just fun to think a little bigger as we watch the calender change.

I looked back over my resolution list last week and I had accomplished 9 out of 10! That's pretty darn good.

February- My computer has been working for a whole 16 hours!

My computer still drives me nuts. Maybe one of my resolutions should be that it is replaced.

March-
Asher handsome, courageous running, playing, laughing makes my heart beat Son

Oh, my sweet baby turned three this year. Here's a virtual pat on the back for those of you who dealt with a three year old in 2010. Or ever.

April- There are so many things I want to blog about! But I am behind in posting to the point I don't know where to start.

My blogging went way down hill in 2010. Another resolution idea is brewing...

May- Today I am old. Well, at least I am older than I was yesterday. I love that my birthday is in May. I love that the weather is almost always gorgeous. I love that the whole nation of Mexico is celebrating me.

I got a bike for my birthday. I'm still scared of it.

June- The last couple weeks have been super busy around here, so I thought I'd post some of the milestones passed.

In the mundane of the day to day this post made me realize how many things changed this year. Rachel is growing so fast, Rosie is now homeschooling and Asher has gained quite a few new social skills. Including, but not limited to, streaking.

July- A certain young boy recently told me he read my blog. I was like, "What?"

There was a point in my blogging career I was desperate for readers. Now that I have some (three) my transparency has taken quite the back seat. So much so I didn't even blog in August. And in September I had one post that was only pictures. I started this blog for me, I need to remind myself of that!

October- Last night we made our way down to the Michael C. Carlos Museum for their "Mummies and Milkshakes" event. I had been wanting to take the kids, since we are studying ancient history this year, and last night worked out great. We had an "Egyptian" picnic, with grape flavored Capri Suns, Ritz crackers, cheese, dried banana chips, cucumbers and yogurt. Then we headed over to the museum where we looked at real mummies! It was pretty cool and gross all at the same time. I was so proud of my girls with their comments like, "That pottery is from the New Kingdom because of the blue on it." It reinforced all that we have been learning.

This was one of my favorite moments from our school year. In some ways I have been struggling through our homeschooling curricula. But it's moments like that field trip that make it worth it.

November- Rachel saw this "skele-cutie" costume months ago and liked it. I made a bony ballerina joke, and that was its name from then on out.

More pictures for November and December. A few recipes, but no real "meat" in blog posts.


So this exercise has taught me that my blog is DULL. If you are still reading- well, thank you loyal reader. I'm sorry I haven't offered more. But I am adding "make my blog better" to my resolution list.

Hope you have a wonderful New Year's!
