Beyond Just Mom

a few of my favorites

I know you’ve all been anxiously awaiting this moment, and it has finally arrived.

Today we celebrate the 100th post on BeyondJustMom. Thank you for coming to the party! I wish I could offer you refreshments, but I’m not quite sure how that’s done. I’ll have to figure that out for the next celebration — there are always new techy tricks to learn, aren’t there?

This journey has been amazing for me, with many beautiful rewards I never anticipated. You’ve been so supportive and encouraging. You’ve inspired me, riled me up and make me laugh and cry. You’ve taught me to tweet, carnival and spread comment luv (words I never knew had so many new meanings!).

To celebrate my short blogging life, I’d like to do a couple of things:

First, I’m sharing some of my favorite BeyondJustMom posts. These aren’t the posts that received the most comments, but the ones that helped me think, stretch and grow the most. If you’re intrigued, please read what looks interesting to you, and let me know your thoughts. I really value your opinions.

Second, I’d like to hear what blogs you think readers of BeyondJust Mom would like to follow. Just leave the link in the comments below and our readers can go from there. One of these days I’ll figure out Mr. Linky and then we can really party. Or carnival, I mean. I’m learning!

Thanks so much for coming to the party and helping to me keep going. I look forward to celebrating with you for many more posts to come.

And now, these are a few of my favorite things posts:
