2012 has been filled with so many exciting things! We have had so much fun creating, discovering, and learning! One of the highlights of my year was the arrival of our son Ryan (now 2 months old). I have also really enjoying finding new ways to connect and create with my older kids (ages 2 and almost 5).
Today I am excited to partner with many of my favorite bloggers to share our Very Best Kids Activities from 2012.
I have had a hard time deciding which post to share as my best of 2012 so I'm going to share two; my favorite post of 2012 and the most viewed post of 2012.
Favorite Post of 2012
Volcano egg dying was my favorite activity because of how much my son loved it. He is obsessed with baking soda and vinegar volcanoes, so this was a colorful variation on it. We did it again and again and have even come up with a firework and pumpkin version for other times of the year. I highly recommend trying it. The colors we created were gorgeous!
Most Viewed Post of 2012
This post Eight Ways to Deal with Anger As a Parent was one that I thought long and hard about. It was very emotional and led to many beautiful comments and insights from many of you. Parenting is something I am learning more about every day. I know I am far from perfect. I am always trying to be kinder, more patient, and more loving in my home. This post is one I could read for myself every day. In 2013 one of my goals is to be an even more positive and loving parent and wife.
