Blogiversary

On the 8th of December it was a year since I set up this blog. I have been blogging since 2005 and but I used to use the Windows live platform and in December I moved over to a more public blog using Typepad.

My blog is an online multimedia diary of my life. It gives me (and ultimately the little one) a record to look back on of events but also thoughts, feelings etc.

The good thing is, if the worst should happen then the little one can get to learn all about her mum to.

So here is my summary of the big posts.

I tried to put myself in head of the little one when she was 16 months old

 

 I wrote a letter to my 16 year old self and put the world to rights

 

 I told you how much I loved my hubby

 

 

  I summarised my favourite gadgets of the year

 

 

 

 You hear about my drama on a camel (and saw a picci of me)

 

 

 I shared the Brownie point system that operates in our house.

 

 I told you how the Electricity meter changed my life (and still does!) and became a wee bit obsessed!

 

 

 I told you how my hubby and I got together

 

 

 We tried to have a holiday on Anglesey and it went horribly wrong and the little one ended up in hospital

 

 

  I told you about the start of my weight loss journey and explained where I wanted to get to

 

 

 I blogged a lot about the sleep up’s and down’s with the little one and some of the fun we’ve had together

 

 

 I started the Penpal Club so we could write old fashioned letters to each other.

 

 

 

 Death Cat wrote his first guest post.

 

 

 I shared my ideas on what you should have in your Toddler survival kit

 

 I had a holiday with some friends.

 

 

 The little one went to the beach and built her first sandcastle

 

 At 23 months, the little one was fully potty trained (this was the 1st time, later she developed a wheat allergy and went back into nappies)

 

I told you about Adam

 

 

 I wrote poems and submitted a lot of entries for the Gallery

 

 

 I got an iPad. The little one nicked it so now I can tell you about apps that are good for kids!

 

 

 

 After a month of being potty trained the little one developed problems which we later discovered to be a Wheat Allergy.

 

  A slow cooker changed my life. My Chilli Con Carne slow cooker recipe is now just about my most popular blog post.

 

 The little one turned 2!

 

 

 I started the Bad Night Coffee Club on Twitter for those of us who are up with our kids at a stupidly early time.

 

 

 

  We took the little one swimming for the first time in her life and she loved it

 

 I wrote the Dream Fairy story to help the little one go back to sleep.

 

 I shared my love of Starbucks

 

 

 I got my new car – good job with all this snow!

 

 

 We were getting desperate on the potty training and hit upon the wheat allergy possibility

 

 The little one started nursery and now goes 1 day a week

 

 

 The little one was potty trained again. This time it seems for keeps!

 

  I used a Gallery prompt to let you see how well the exercise and diet was working for my weight loss

 

 

 

 We ended up in hospital with the little one as she seemed to have a severe allergic reaction to Vicks

 

 

 

And that’s it. The recent posts are all to do with the little one’s Chickenpox and lots and lots of snow.

I hope you enjoyed joining me on my trip down memory lane and continue to enjoy my blog posts.

Thanks for listening and thanks for commenting.
