I am joining Miss Kindergarten  and A Teeny Tiny Teacher looking back at 2011 by remembering the 11 of my favorite things throughout the year. 

My Favorite Things from 2011

11. Favorite book

10. Favorite TV series:

I am addicted to NCIS……I watch it all the time especially the reruns!   I also like Modern Family and The Middle.

9. Favorite restaurant:

My Favorite restaurant is The Cheesecake Factory and I order The Pasta Davinci….my favorite dish!

8. Favorite new thing you tried:

Blogging would be my new favorite thing this year!   This is my first year in the blog world reading and participating and I am learning so much!

7. Favorite gift you got:

This gift is to myself from myself but I have wanted it for a long time…..my nephew build it for me and I am in the process of painting it.......a laundry organizer.   I copied the idea from:  Anna.White......when I finish mine will be all white.

6. Favorite thing you pinned:

I just love this winter picture of Amsterdam.

5. Favorite blog post:

Amazing Work In The Art Center

It was not a popular post but I thought I did several neat things here.  I took an idea about sketching from Pinterest and created a book for the writing center that the children love and use every day. 

I displayed the students’ work samples on backgrounds using the Fireworks program for the first time. 

4. Best accomplishment:

My best accomplishment of the year is the creation of my blog the very busy kindergarten.   I am teaching my self so much in order to participate in blogging.: downloading fonts, photography, uploading documents……all of this is new to me.  Every time I want to create or do something I have to learn the steps.  I learn something new every day about blogging or creating.  It is so much fun!

3. Favorite picture:

I am into owls this year….so right now this is my favorite picture……

2. Favorite memory:

My own kids are still in college….but this year my son Mike is staying at home and commuting to a college an hour away after four years of being away from home.  So I enjoy the time I get to talk to him.  Also I enjoy any moments my daughter spends  home from college as well even if it is just a few hours of shopping for the week.

1.         Goal for 2012:

My goals for 2012 are very simple…..to simplify my life and get my self in a healthy  happy place.

As far as blogging…to continue to build connections with other bloggers .

Happy New Year!
