Our Favorite Posts from 2015
Thank you for reading and tagging along with us through another year! If you know us well, you know that there are always ideas percolating around these parts (meaning our heads, when they’re not too groggy), and the posts don’t always keep up with the ideas. We’d be writing up a storm and saturating the internet with all our opinions – never leaving you a day without a fresh post (there are a handful of us, after all) – if only we could slow the seasons down a bit or at least just get the kids to nap.
But when we look back, we do see that we’ve recorded a lot of fun memories and a few worthwhile thoughts, and we hope that you’ll enjoy revisiting these with us. Without further ado, here are a few favorites from each of us from the past year:
Auntie Leila’s Top Picks (with comments from Auntie Leila)
Deirdre’s Guide to Wedding Planning — You can find all the posts about wedding planning linked in this last one, her secret to happy wedding planning!
How to figure out where to relocate (Aka: Ask Auntie Leila: Relocation Priorities and the Desirability Quotient) — If you can choose where to live, what priorities should you have, and how should you rank them?
Sukie with a demonstration of nursing a squirmy toddler out in public — Makes me proud, and the pictures are so sweet!
Rosie’s Top Picks (with intros from Rosie)
Taking Care of New Mamas Culture — Post Partum Does Not Mean One Day After the Baby Comes
Family Dinner Culture — The Secret to Planning Menus
I find this fascinating. The bees arrived after I moved away, so I’ve never seen this process in person: The Honey Harvest: a Tutorial
Also fascinating and appealing to me (if we weren’t on military healthcare, I would be seriously looking into this): Why We Love Being Medically Uninsured
Suki’s Top Picks (with Suki’s comments)
Post Partum Does Not Mean One Day After the Baby Comes — Des was six weeks on Christmas. I had an easy recovery, but there’s still the mental fog, and a huge need to slow down for the baby – and myself! (I also loved the controversy in the comments, stirred by my conspiracy theory!)
The Secret to Planning Menus — It’s not just about the food!
And of course, Desmond’s Birth . :)
Deirdre’s Top Picks (with my comments)
Secrets to Taking Common-Sense Care of your Sick Child at Home! — Wisdom from Auntie Leila on one of the best topics for the collective memory department. I have a theory that the whole vaccine debate would look very different if everyone had the basics down about how to care for sick children and keep germs contained, etc.
Will you forgive me if I offer one of my own posts as a favorite? Your Marriage is Your Gift to Others: A Guide to Registering — part of my {pretty, happy, real weddings} series, is one of my favorite things I’ve ever written, actually – which surprises me, because I didn’t expect that I’d end up recording anything too remarkable when I went to share advice about setting up a wedding registry. All you lovely readers supplied great advice in the many comments.
Bridget’s Top Pick (with her comment)
Hope For When You Regret the Past — A reminder that God is much kinder and much simpler than we expect Him to be.
And that wraps it up for us!
