Experienced Bad Mom’s Year in Review

December 31, 2012 By Katy 9 Comments

ID-10010266

2012 was a big year for me and my blog. Specifically, 2012 was the year I joined Twitter, created a Facebook page, shared guest posts on Scary Mommy and The Mommy Mess, and was a featured blogger on The Sits Girls. Exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time!

I’m so thankful for the new friends/followers/bloggers/people on the street who have come along for the ride!

I had plenty of real-life Experienced Bad Mom moments in 2012, too. Here’s a brief recap of my proudest moments:

1. My family witnessed a hawk devour two baby ducks at Walt Disney World’s Boardwalk Resort.

2. I successfully {ahem} navigated 3rd/4th grade Everyday Mathematics and kindergarten homework. Gee, I love to color!

3. I actually enjoyed my trip to the giant, indoor water park (even though I left my suit bottom on the Flow Rider).

4. I realized my kids are growing up and I’m okay with that (see The Half Way Mom).

What are your favorite parenting moments from 2012?

And, Happy New Year to all!

May 2013 be your best year yet!

    my adult daughter returned home after 3 years in formation to become a Catholic sister. She decided it was not what God had planned for her. I had peace about her conviction to try it, but my heart leapt when that door closed. She is close by again, teaching high school religion and LOVING it!
