Year-end countdown: guest blogs of the year.

I know it's only the beginning of December and doing year-end countdowns seem a bit too premature. But I have a few things I wanted to look back on and instead of having a sleuth of posts that come out one after another at the end of the month, I thought to sprinkle them throughout.  

Today, it's all about the guest blog posts of the year. 

February -- "Love In Many Ways"

Just in time for Valentine's Day, Nelah over at Maysa & Sunshine asked me to write a post for her series "Love in Many Ways." Of course I wrote about Piri and our journey so far together.

March -- Favorite moments in Jamaica

In March, I got to hang out over at Diva In Me and share some of our fondest memories of our January trip to Jamaica. I also put together a mini "him & her" things to take to Jamaica list. Those are always so fun to make, no? 

April -- "On Running" 

In April, I did a Q & A over at Othermix about running, as part of her "Running High" series. I had just started to become serious with it and so this was a fun post to share some of my reasons for running but also my crazy eighties playlist! I started to run early March of this year and did so consistently until June. By then I was running for an hour {walking a little inbetween}, burning up to 600 calories per run and feeling really great. I didn't change too much of my diet and I was able to lose 5 pounds, too. I haven't ran since the summer after my miscarriage, but definitely itching to get back to it soon. It's really a great form of exercise. 

May -- Home is With You

In the middle of spring, we were invited by one of our favorite online families, Damaris, Dani & Juno over at The Cat You & Us" to share what "Home is With You" means to us, as part of their 1 year blog anniversary. We have since moved out of that space and created a new home for us, but the same concepts holds true in what makes and means a home for us. 

September -- Doggy bow tie DIY

We got to roll our sleeves up for this fun DIY guest post we did for Little White Whale -- doggy bow ties and matching hair clips! I'm not sure how Piri felt about me sharing his spotlight, but I think he was ok with it. 

November -- DC Guide

Just last month, we did a DC Guide for A Weekend Crossing while Marla was away in Mexico. It lists out some of our favorite places we love to go to shop, sightsee and relax. 

Thanks for walking down memory lane with us! 

Can't believe 2014 is really coming to an end.

Wow.
