So I am joining in.
This will be pretty easy for me, since I have only been blogging on mamadweeb.com since July. Before that I was always on good old XANGA.
I think I will include a post from there, just for fun.
I'll go in chronological order for you, with some commentary too!
In February, I was totally fat and pregnant and ready for David to make his debut! With 1 month to go I reflected on my desire to see him and my excitement about trying for a VBAC in a birth center with him.
Unfortunately, I did not succeed at having a VBAC. I ended up with a 2nd C-section and shared my birth story with my readers.
Then 3 months later I switched to blogger and here I am!
I reflected on my new found love for babywearing, including Lizzie's preoccupation with it herself. Then in August the economy started to really plunge and I posted a very vague and yet meaningful post - mostly photos of Lizzie and David, but it expressed how I felt.
As I continued to meet other mom bloggers I started to desire to become greener. I wrote a really funny piece asking "how green are you?" I compared the devotion level to a color...I thought it worked pretty well!
Then came one of my most vulnerable pieces yet - I wrote about my struggles with Bell's Palsey. It almost put me in a depression, but I learned how to smile anyway!
After I became involved in perhaps the BEST group of ladies in the blogosphere - MomDot - I joined the Bloggers and Tiaras competition. My post about the definition of Beauty is my all time favorite post to date. I was creative, heartfelt and it sounded lovely. I actually go back and read it from time to time to remind myself that I can, indeed, write well!

What a great idea! I love this, gives us an opportunity to check out some of your favorite posts before we found you!
This is a very cool idea!
Great idea for a blog post - I might just have to do this myself!
I left a comment on your Bells Palsy post - been there, done that and it was one of the hardest things I've had to deal with.
I can't wait to read all of those! Off I go :)
Oh- I cant wait to go read all the rest.
Great post! Those were some of my favorites too!
What a fun little recap. I agree, I love momdot!
hey thanks for coming by my blog! I am gonna look around and read some of your stuff.
BTW, I have a David, too! :) He was my VBAC, thankfully successful. Looking forward to reading your stories, Jeanette
