A Bloggy Review

One of Mama Kat's Writing Prompts for today was to pick a favorite post from each month of 2011. WAIT...before you skip this post, hang on one second. I have lots of new followers and there are some posts that I love, that really tell a lot about me. If you started following this year, keep reading. I included synopses so you can see if any of them pique your interest. Do me a big favor and let me know if you read any of them?

In January, I wrote about one of my favorite speech therapy moments that reminds me why I do what I do. Go here to read "Three Little Sounds, One Huge Difference."

In February, I wrote a post that, looking back on it, makes me a little guilty, seeing how far I've fallen off the workout wagon. But remembering the most psycho trainer ever makes me laugh. Go here to read "Miss Nelson, The Bodybuilder."

In March, I wrote my very favorite post about my all-time favorite interaction between two kids at school. Go here to read "The Seven Sweetest Words."

In April, I talked about my least favorite part of my job. And although I hate the topic of standardized testing, I'm determined to get the word out there again and possibly shock you all with the ridiculousness of it. Go here to read "It's Time Again for My Annual Academically-Based Rant."

In May, I discussed a lesson I taught L with a little help from a popular children's board game. Go here to read "Thank You, Milton Bradley."

In June, I wrote a tribute to the child who inspires me most. I write a lot about L, but this is my favorite because I think I finally articulated my feelings about him as they really are. Go here to read "A Tribute to L."

In July, I got to show off some awesome nursing pics that my bestie Laura took for me. They totally deserve a spot in this post. Go here to read "Blessed to be Free."

I can't choose between my two favorite August posts so feel free to choose for me. Go here to read about why I love my students who are the biggest troublemakers in "I Heart Hellions." And here to read my letter to G on his first birthday.

In September, I wrote a post about one of those big life-changing moments, that included friendship, meanness, death, and a big life lesson. Go here to read "A Life Lesson Remembered."

In October, I wrote about extended breastfeeding. Nuff said. Here is "My Lactation Proclamation."

In November, I talked a lot about my faith. I have two posts that I'm proud of. The first is explaining just how a friend who didn't give up on me got me started on my faith journey in the first place. Go here to read "Five Hundred and Twenty Six Days." And the second post was about a bump in the road of that journey, and how a four-year-old got me back on track. Go here to read "Detours."

And in December, I wrote a post that got me lots of comments and e-mails. Apparently it struck a few nerves in my readers. Go here to read "Notice Without Judging."

Major props to you if you even read the summaries. Namaste.
