Well that’s it, 2012 is fast approaching. It’s time I take a look back over a great year at some of the things I’ve / we’ve done.
- I started a blog (albeit a little late in the year) and here you are reading it!
- We moved house to a lovely village in the countryside with a village hall, shop and very own duck pond. It is incredibly picturesque and I’m happy.
- I enjoyed my D days. Singing, dancing, silliness, rhyming, imagining and watching her grow beautifully into a little (she would argue BIG) girl.
- D started her Montessori preschool with ease (this time) hooooray!
- I became an aunty for the first time and will never forget holding that beautiful boy in my arms. Can’t wait to watch you grow little one.
- I have made some fantastic new friends who are great to have around. Still miss the ones who aren’t so close (geographically) though.
- I said goodbye to some old ‘friends’ who were sucking the positive energy out of me. Try it some time, it feels very liberating.
- I delved into the art of reiki healing and started to heal myself (and the occasional friend in need).
- I picked apples from our very own apple tree this year (embracing the country life) and made some delicious appley treats.
- I finally got a piano. I had wanted one for ages. It was free and even delivered for free which brings me nicely to my next point…
- I read “Ask and it will be given”. The best book I’ve read in a long time. Must read again, and again, and again.
- I helped my dad to move closer to his beloved family. It’s good to have you around Dad.
- I opened an online shop (I managed to squeeze that achievement into 2011 too didn’t I?) I’m only selling a few creations right now but this is going to be an exciting project for 2012.
- I started a business (poppies and pirates). Don’t worry I haven’t forgotten about you ;)
- I started running.
- I stopped running (I lasted about a week). 2012? Hmmm we will see.
And a whole lot of other awesome things (too many to list) but looking back it’s been quite a year! Wonder what 2012 will have in store? Running? Meh…. I’m thinking zumba this year ;)
Started running, stopped running, love it!
Fab picture with the gorgeous little toe nails painted red too! x
Thanks Karen! I love those little toes :) This picture was taken in Holland at my parent in laws summer house. They have a pretty stream running through the garden where littlelish and I like to watch the baby ducklings and cygnets! Cuuuute :) Hope you have a lovely weekend. Mine has started off well with an awesome nights sleep, I went to bed at 7 with D :/ was exhausted!

I have only just started blogging and to be honest I am finding it frustrating as I am not sure how to get people to look at my blog?? I know you have to post on twitter and facebook which i have done but I have limted friends on there? Any ideas hun? XXXXX Happy new year and have a peek at my blog if you can x
Hi Abby! Happy New Year. I’ve just started blogging too so it’s all quite new to me – we can figure it out together! I’ve been doing the same, sharing on social media and now I am looking into all the blogging sites for tips, networking etc etc. Mostly ones linked to being a mummy, like Brit mums? Have you seen that site? I also registered my blog on blog lovin’. I think there is a huge amount you can do to promote a blog, my problem is having the time!! Congratulations on being a mummy, that is fantastic news. It is the most wonderful job in the world :) x
Your blog is off to a great start Abby :) Only I couldn’t seem to comment on your post (I don’t have a blogger account). So after all your research which blogs are worth checking out for inspiration? Any goodies? Lucy x
