I actually feel like January went by pretty slowly. Of course it could be that I spent most of the month in our house with our new daughter. But it's officially only the first full month she's been here, and I'm sure once she gets a little older time is really going to feel like it flies by.
In January...
...We kicked off the month and year, spending the day with my in-laws and had black eyed peas for lunch. There was also the traditional boiled cabbage, which I avoided since I'm not a huge fan of it.
...My BFF, and now my daughter's godmother, came to visit for a long weekend.
...I baked a
cinnamon roll bundt cake for the BCS national championship game.
...The boy also cooked a ton, most of which you can see in my
Project 365 posts, but my favorite of them were these maple syrup glazed sliders.
...I posted reviews of 5 books.
The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
The Seduction of the Crimson Rose by Lauren Willig
Breastfeeding Made Simple by Nancy Mohrbacher and Kathleen Kendall-Tackett
The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Bennan, & Maureen Johnson
Home Again by Mariah Stewart
Of them all, my favorite would be
The Seduction of the Crimson Rose.
...5 years ago, in 2010, I posted about mine and the boy's
trip to Disneyland,
and 2 years after that, in 2012, I posted about our family vacation to
Disney World.
What were some of your highlights from this past January?
A busy month - with tons of good food it sounds like!
ReplyDeleteWe had a fare amount of snow (still falling) and cold up here!
You had a terrific month. For me, the highlight of January was celebrating my mom's 88th birthday.
ReplyDeleteI think managing to keep a good chunk of my resolutions for the entire first month of the year was my January highlight, especially the housecleaning one :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great first full month with Elley! January kind of dragged for me. It wasn't a bad month, it was just sort of a blah month for me. The highlight was going up to my parents lake home for a weekend and going ice fishing for the first time!
ReplyDeleteI think y'all did more stuff in January than we did, and we don't even have kids (much less a newborn).
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you were super productive in your first month of being a mother!
