Can you believe that we’ll be ushering in 2014 tonight? Where has the year gone? I can’t believe all that happened this year and all that I’ve accomplished! Although the blog slowed down quite a bit – both because of a big move to Colorado in July/August and because I began focusing more on growing my Etsy shop – I’ve still been so blessed by all the traffic I’ve had and my loyal readers.
Still stumped on what to get dad for Father’s Day? You would think it would be easy, but sometimes coming up with the perfect gift for a man can drive me nuts. I always want to come up with something special, and I usually overthink it; which then leads to procrastination… which is why I have yet to get anything for my husband for Father’s Day. Oops.
So I gathered up some ideas for items that I know he would like. I’m pretty sure that he would be thrilled with any of these picks, so I’m not sure why I make it so hard on myself.
Still scrambling for a Mother’s Day gift to give mom on Sunday? Don’t fret, I’ve pulled together some great last-minute ideas that will make you look like you actually planned ahead!
Some you can make at home, and others will require a quick trip to a local store. Either way, there’s still time to make mom feel special!
Here are some of my favorite last-minute Mother’s Day gift ideas:
Wow. What a year it has been! We had a baby, my husband started a new job and began working from home, my daughter started preschool, I launched a new website… it was nothing short of hectic.
I can’t believe how much I have blogged this year… somewhere around 160 different posts. Who knew I had so much to say? Ok, I talk a lot; I kinda already knew that.
Anyway, here’s a little review of 2012 seen through the eyes of my blog:
Happy Blogiversary to me! The celebration continues…
Since Pinterest has boomed in the last year, I’ve seen lots of traffic coming from them.
Aside from some of the top 5 posts from yesterday, here’s what Pinterest users are pinning most frequently from my blog in the past year (they’re some of my faves too!):
Guess what? This week is my official one-year blogiversary week! This Wednesday the 11th is exactly one year from my first post here on The Mombot, and I can hardly believe it!
I’ve had the privilege of gaining tons of new readers and followers, both here on the the blog and over on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. I am honored that people tune in to see what I have to say and share (especially since I happen to find myself to be rather boring). I get so much joy out of writing and sharing tips, tutorials, and fashion advice; thank you for being a part of my first year!
As the end of the school year is approaching, it’s time to start thinking about gifts for our much-deserving teachers. My daughter’s preschool teachers work so hard and love their kids so much, and they definitely deserve something special! This year I am on the Preschool board and have offered to help with end-of-the-year gifts from the entire class, and I’m trying to come up with something worthy of such wonderful people.
