Remembering My 28 Favorite Moments Of 2012

2012 was a rough year. I’m not going to lie. But I can’t forget about all of the good it brought me and my family as well.

Despite the bed rest. Despite the health scares. Despite the endless nights filled with worry… we did make some great memories during the last 12 months. Besides — a positive recap is good for the soul, right??

So, I looked through all my posts from 2012 and picked out my favorite moments. I came up with 28. I COULD HAVE forced myself to try to find 2 more… but that wouldn’t be completely authentic. Ready?? Grab a cup of coffee because this post is LONG.
