Happy New Year and a Look Back

It's that time of the year where one reflects on their accomplishments, what didn't work, fun stuff and the year in pictures...here is what I am offering up to you, my followers (love ya - knuckle bump)!
So surprised to see that my little blog has received OVER 72,000 views (almost at 73,000) WOW! THANK YOU EVERYONE!

On with the list....

The 2011 and all time most viewed blog post with over 2000 views was the Ballerina Party I threw for my daughter.

The Homeschool related post that received the most views in 2011 was Our Homeschool Space with almost 500 views.

The crafting related post that received the most views in 2011 was PB Inspired Wall Print with just about 400 views.

I can say that my parties and playdates received WAY more views than my homeschooling posts....although I am more proud to share our homeschool adventures and parties are just a "side passion"...lol

The all-time post I am most proud of (Nov of 2010)...Our Soap Telling Story... couldn't even tell you how many views it got, however, it did not make the top 20 8(

Here are a few that might have slipped by you that hold a special place in my heart:

I was invited, accepted and exposed - guest post over at Santa Beso

Why we Homeschool

Another proud moment is when we were "crowned" number 25 on the Top 25 Homeschooling Blogs over at Circle of Moms!

I am sooo looking forward to the new year and a big announcement (for me) on Sunday to kick off the new year right!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND I PRAY THAT 2012

IS A BLESSING!

I have been meaning to tell you this but your guest post over at my space received over 70 views. It was probably one of my most favorite posts and definitely turned the direction of my blog in a better way.

It's not easy to talk about the "J" word at times, but how can you not after He's done so much.

So glad to have you come be a part of history making at Santa Beso.

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...

Collage Friday and a Video

We have had a good week here in NY. The snow is melting and the signs of spring are everywhere! I am ready for the light coat and to put away my Uggs for the season. Zachary worked on the Women and Children of the Revolutionary War - and some fun Scholastic - Super Science! He is always working on his IPAD playing Scrabble, Words with Friends, Monopoly, Stack the States and Stack the Countries. The girls and I talked about what is happening outside with the plants and animals. Waking up! Sammie also enjoyed this Sofia the First Unit.

Also using some kitchen sponges (for stamping) from dollar store to make these beautiful spring cards. Thursday Science - again going to our Raddish box and finding a cool experiment. ...
