Saying Goodbye to 2013
I can’t say that I remember much of the first half of 2013, but the second half? Especially the summer? That was a stressful and busy time!
I’ve decided to take a photo tour of the year! Sharing pictures as highlights from 2013. But first I’m going to start with some blog post highlights though:
- I chose my focus word for 2013
- BooBear was accepted to her first choice college and received an academic merit scholarship!
- I posted my most popular ever post in February of 2013. It was a recipe for “Stir Fry” in a Crockpot!
- I wrote a post about Better Butter!
Now for a few pictures!
From January to May we experienced a Recital, Every Day School Life, a Birthday and Pascha!
June through December we experienced another recital, a heart attack, a graduation, a wedding, and more birthdays.
Other 2013 Highlights include: Honeybear reading the Epistle for the first time, growing a garden, and I became an Orthodox Godmother for the first time.
My friend Susan has organized a blog fair around the theme of Remembering the Real in 2013. Tomorrow’s blog fair theme is Looking Forward to the Real in 2014. Check out this list of participating bloggers!

ReplyDeleteI loved seeing your pictures as you remembered 2013 :-) I sounds like a real year of ups and downs, and lots of happiness. I also had to go back and read the better butter post because I'm currently looking for a better way to cook and eat. Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all those lovely pictures! And thank you for linking to the Stir Fry in a crockpot recipe (I need all the help I can get in the dinner arsenal). Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteTess, how well did your daughter do on her SAT tests? (I went back and read your X post.) Did College Prep do a good job of preparing her for it?
