…I’ve been wanting to put together a post like this since I first saw it on Vicki’s blog a few years ago. She shared her 2015 review a few weeks back and it’s been top of mind since then. The idea – thank you Vicki! – is to share the first line of the first blog post of each month and a favorite photo from that month’s post. The two are not necessarily related.
I know it’s only the third day of 2015 but I already feel behind.
I just shared this photo on Instagram.
I’ve been enjoying Barb’s (mostly) weekly Sunday Sundries not only for the beautiful photography but also the simple idea of sharing a short list of celebrations.
Spring is here in full force!
porch views (#porchview on Instagram) and park views – it’s time to get outside and enjoy some fresh air!
holy smokes, how is it Monday already?
coming to you from the Madison airport (where hopefully I won’t have enough time to get on a first name basis with the bartender before Sara arrives to pick me up)!
I didn’t quite make it by the end of July but I came close.
it’s great to be back with Carole, who just returned from two weeks at the beach.
Limited sunshine, too much rain and what felt like it might be a cold but was maybe just allergies and today is the first day of this new month – my favorite! – that really feels like OCTOBER.
The costume was Katie’s idea, inspired by one of Charlie’s favorite stuffed animals – Henry the Fox.
thanks to Sunday’s deadline knitting (which I did finish – thank you all for your encouragement!), this week’s newsletter and a long list of to-do’s, I got myself comfortable with holding off on the holiday decorations until Friday.

What a lovely year-in-review post! Isn't it amazing to look back and see all that's happened over the past 12 months? So much . . . both expected and unexpected. Here's to a wonderful 2016, Mary! XO
Fabulous!! I love all of the review posts and reflection at this time of year! Happy New Year, Mary! (I hope you feel a bit more on top of things this Jan. 3rd!) 😉
Reliving each friends year with the review is always a joy! I wish you a year as wonderful and fun as your last. I think you'll have many new adventures (with Charlie) to come!
This is an excellent look at your year – I love seeing Charlie grow!
Wow-Charlie looks soooo different now. Great year in review.
Ah, what a great set of photos, though I have a weakness for your lovely April one :).
I've always loved Vicki's photo and sentence reviews, and yours is just as wonderful! Here's to a wonderful 2016 for you and your family!
You captured some great moments this past year! Interesting to see the transformation of Charlie from a sweet little baby into a sweet little boy. 🙂 I think I need to get in the habit of taking more pictures.
What a wonderful year! It is amazing to see how much Charlie has grown. Wishing you & yours the best in 2016!
I love the photo of Charlie with Santa! Oh man — I remember those Santa visits. All I can think about is how he'll get a good chuckle out of that picture when he is older. 🙂
