A jar I made myself to put in all the positive things from 2013 |
And this year I have decided to take a look back at the past, mainly because 2013 was a big year for me, not only as a mother, but also for the person under the mommy shell.
You know, ME, the woman who went back to work full-time, turned 40 and set out to follow her dreams as a writer. And I took you all along on my journey.
So, if you missed it, here are my milestones from last year!
Mama done good! - In my very first post for 2013, I set out on my journey.
Hold on and never let go - This was my very first guest post of the year on the Amsterdam Mama's website. And the most difficult story I have ever had to write.
Little girls are evil - The day my world was turned upside down and my eyes were opened!
Eat my eggs snobby mamas - My first baby step towards gaining confidence against the fashion show Barbie moms at my kids school!
Warning: Neighbors and Nakedness - I suspect this is where my quest to love my booty-liciousness began!
How I let go of my son's hand - Ahhhh, the first time I let go, reminds me I need to keep it up!
Will I ever be on the list? - This was the day I realized I was an outsider. A huge blow, but it really jump started my growth in confidence. I have to get out tissues for this one...
Why travelling with kids is like childbirth - The day I had to hold my head up high and be proud, even though I wanted to vomit!
Mama, do you like your butt? - How my daughter helped me love my lady lumps! Great photo on this one! this was also posted on Amsterdam Mama's website.
Goodbye 30's, you suck! - A new decade, a new ME! I made it people!
Are you proud of yourself? - Heck yeah! I am so proud of myself!
The Louse who stole Christmas - This was/still is as of today, the ultimate test after all the miles I gained in building my confidence as a mother and general member of the female population. There are more posts to come about this one...
I for one am proud of you! Idid not know this was your first writing thought of you as a professional. Good job. Love your stories it gives me a connection to my home country that i can not experience but can relate to. I should comment more, but hate writing on this nook thing. Best wishes im the new year and please dont stop the blog I want you to write more. Thanks Erna
