The Best of 2012

Hello friends!

2012 was so exciting here at It's A Long Story. I had some posts get more views than I ever could have imagined. It is so humbling to think that people like the things I do here enough to pin them, let alone do them!

Here are some of the Best of 2012:

DIY Cloth Training Pants

I never in a million years would have thought that this post would get the response that it did. These were literally something I made for Abbey out of necessity. Apparently I wasn't the only one who needed them! These have been pinned literally thousands of times, and everytime I see it it boggles my mind! Not only that, but it brought on the creation of The Flannel Lamb, which has been such a blessing!

Toddler Boxes

These have been so much fun to make! There are still more rattling around in my head, so stay tuned. If you've made any toddler boxes I would love to hear about them! Link me up or tell me about it in the comments!

31 Days of Literacy & Learning

This series was SO much fun! My friends Amy and Samantha for a month of fun books and activities. There is a lot of really fun stuff in there, so go take a look!

Want even more goodies to look at? Take a look at the Best of the Best from other Kid Blogger Network bloggers. It's a fantastic list, and worth taking the time to go through! There is also a linky party at the bottom of this post. What fun things have you been doing with your kids this year?
