Happy New Year!
The universal consensus is that 2011 was a pretty awful year. For me personally it was maybe the best year of my life. Just goes to show. I’ve about four 2011 reviews I need to churn out in the next few days and then we’ll get down to the dirty business of tackling 2012. Bear with me for the next few days. And here’s to a magnificent 2012!

Hooray for maybe the best year of your life (so far)! Looking back at it, one of the most amazing things is how well you kept this blog up and interesting, while you motored through pregnancy, foreign travel, the birth of Baby Bird, and a job promotion. Brava and keep those reviews and insights coming! 😀
I had a great year, glad you did, too. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I thought it was just me. I’m glad to spread the misery….2011 was HARD. May 2012 be less….interesting.
A happy new year to you too! And I have to agree with JMyersbook. I know I’ve had to wait til my babies were quite big to really focus on blogging- you certainly had no problems there! Congrats and I look forward to more wonderful reading and writing.
