Merry, merry to you all!
Hope you enjoyed this holiday season, had a weekend full of joy, laughter and rosy cheeks. That promise of Santa made your children behave like angels and there was lots of dessert to be eaten after dinner.
Put them up in the air for Bridget and her fab Listicle idea this week. I loved reading your answers to Lipton 10. As for this week’s list I have special permission for you to link up your 2011 review with Runnermom Jen as well. Two birds, one bird food. Score!
Next week, your mission, should you choose to accept it is to find Theresa, A Mountain Momma and her list among the link ups and see what she chose for us to write about. I love her blog so I know she will come up with a fun topic for us to do.
I will keep this short and sweet , so you can link up quick, grab a cookie or two and read some other lists.
Make a list, check it twice, link it up. Read others. Have fun!
10 firsts that happened in 2011

10. First year of my life not to go back to the land I was born in.

Oh no – first it’s the Venti, next it’ll be the Double Venti and finally…the deadly triple. (-:

Wow…that’s a lot of firsts for one year! I’m glad you had a great time on your trip to Canada…and that Little J looks so adorable with his haircut.

What an eventful year, Stasha! Hope 2012 will hold even more firsts for you and your family.

There’s something liberating about going a whole year without stepping on a plane isn’t there?

I have to say that your lists are going to be one of my firsts! (I know, that TOTALLY makes your year, right?) I wonder if there’s a connection between starting your own business and ordering a venti coffee…hmm…or maybe it’s just that pacific northwest thing – can you live out there and NOT be a coffee drinker? Happy new year!

Hi Stasha! New Company…Wow that is impressive and wonderful. And you warmed my heart mentioning the son’s first haircut. I remember both my boys’ first haircuts and they are grown. It was a sweet time. Then, you made me jealous with the Blog Conference. I’m hoping to do one of those some day. Sounds like a pretty awesome year! Watch out for you in 2012!

You’ve had a big year. I’d also like to add that I’m just so glad you started your blog, it’s brought us messy-car mommas together!

Sounds like a good year! I was surprised you’ve only been blogging for a year!?? wow – you’re a pro. Glad you had a good time in Canada!
(didn’t link up to day….too much to do to get ready to travel to mom’s house tomorrow — but you know I will back in the New Year!)

It’s pretty hard to live in these parts and NOT order a Venti every once in awhile! Funny, I DID step foot on a plane for the first time in several years this year.
I love doing Listicles and I sure hope we continue on through the new year!

Hi I just found your blog through your Monday Listicles on someone else’s blog. What a neat idea. I have added your button to my “Other Weekly Link Ups” page and plan to write a post and come back to link up. Just not at 1am.
By the look of your list looks like you had a great and productive year!

I love that I am in some way connected to your 2011 in Review. Hope you liked your first visit to Canada. Hope to be in your neck of the woods in July or August for more camping.

I am still waiting for the year where I don’t step foot on a plane. It sounds like a great year!

I found you on Two Normal Moms and have been wanting to link up for awhile. Unfortunately, I didn’t really read closely enough, so my list is just a review of 2011, but not my 1st. Please forgive. lol.
Hoping to link up more in 2012 … and actually pay attention.
Happy New Year to you and yours!
