I realize that everyone else shares their year in review blog posts on December 31st or January 1st…
But, I’m not quite that organized, so I’m sharing mine on the 2nd. Blogger fail. But, we’ve been sick, so I’m ok with it.
This year…
I birthed a human (feel free to read my birth story if you haven’t). It was the most challenging, beautiful, raw and amazing experience of my life and the end result was this little squishy faced gem: Fern Winter.
Fought with my husband a lot more, but also fell a whole lot more in love with him too. We celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary and our first year as parents. We’ve learned a whole lot and even though life has a lot more challenges, it’s so much more full of love.
Happy 2013!

i loved this post!
(and i guess all new parents fought with their partners a lot…)
Happy 2013 right back at you!
Fern is so beautiful. It sounds like 2012 was such a great year for y’all. Hope y’all are feeling better soon. xo, Maria
Yup, I’m a late one too. Oh well! Our blog, our own rules, right? I posted mine today, January 3 and I am OK with that. Happy new year!
I love your openness in this post, Lauren. Thank you SO MUCH for being real with us. xoxo
Fern is such a cutie! I loved reading your birth story (and thanks so much for the email with the book recommendations! I have both of the books you recommended and have since started reading them.) 🙂 I am so excited to experience Motherhood this year.
Happy 2013 to you!!
What a great post! I love looking back at everyone’s reflections from the year.
There’s nothing that makes a year exciting like birthing a child. She’s gotten so big! Look at her stand in that picture.
Loved this Lauren and love that in 2012 we became better friends and of course blog friends that turned into real friends. It has been so special to see Fern and watch her grow. Next step for 2013 … move to Oregon. LOVE YOU and you never cease to inspire me.
