My Favorite Posts To Write This Year | Kids and Cabernet Roundup

It feels like it's been FOREVER since I've blogged!  It's nice to be back.  I hope you all had a great few days off with family and friends.  It was a nice break and fun to spend it with my favorites.


Since 2015 is quickly coming to a close - which I still can't believe, this year flew by - I'm rounding my favorite posts from the year.

Thoughts and Tips on Instagram - I'm by no means an Instagram professional and my account is by any means perfect , but I have learned a few tips and tricks along the way and shared them for those that we're starting out accounts for their blog/brand.


While I wouldn't categorize this as a favorite post, it was a post where I stepped out of my comfort zone.  I was nominated by Nina to do a vlog and decided to go for it!  I mean, why not look awkward in front of tons of people, right?

One of my two most favorite posts to write was 30 Ways You Know You're a Mom - if you're a mom or have small kids in your family, I'm sure you can relate to many of the things in this post!

 
Look how little J was here - my heart breaks!

My second favorite to write was one I think most of you can relate to - You Know You're a Blogger When....  You have to admit, we bloggers are very unique and have a lot of similar traits, haha.


Many of us have gone through the dreaded Writer's Block, it's no fun.  I rounded out 20 different blog post ideas for those days when you just don't know what to write about.



Once E started school, I realized that a good morning routine was vital.  I wrote about 6 Easy Ways to Streamline Your Morning Routine.  These 6 things are a lifesaver for me and make the mornings way less stressful.

 


It's funny, most of these posts feels like I just wrote them.  What are some of your favorite posts you've written on your blog?  I'd love to go back and read them!


Have a happy Monday!

2014 In Review

Crazy that this is my last post of 2014, where did the year go?!  I'm convinced that time does go by faster as we get older - do you remember years taking forever when we were kids?  Now it seems like it was just New Years day last year!

I thought it would be fun to review my year.  It's definitely been a busy one for our family with TWO weddings in our immediate families!

January 

It was a pretty quiet month, we had some family in town and played tourist in our area. We went to where they film Gator Boys on Animal planet and took a tour of the Everglades on an air boat ride and saw an alligator show.






We also took our first Disney trip of the year.


 
February
This was an exciting month - my sister got engaged!!  I was so happy to be part of that moment and glad I got to witness it happening.
 

We also took our family pictures - these may have been my favorite yet.
 
March
In March, I got nominated for the Liebster award, which was fun - it's nice to know that people out there like reading your blog enough to nominate you for something. 

I also started brainstorming for my Brother/Sister-In-Law's hot air balloon bridal shower and we took the kids to Disney on Ice.



April

April was a pretty low key month.  I went to the John Legend concert with my mom and enjoyed our first full day at the beach since the water and weather warmed up.


 
 
May
We took the kids on another Disney trip, and stayed at one of my favorite hotels of theirs Coronado Springs.
 Kids and Cabernet had it's first linkup Wino Wednesday - I so love this linkup and reading everyone's favorite wines.
We also had the first bridal shower of the year for my brother-in-law, which turned out beautiful!

I also did one of my favorite (and very simple) DYI's to date and made our Rake Wine Glass Holder


June

We spent a lot of time outdoors enjoying summer and had a Girl's Night Out for my sister-in-law to be.

 
July
July marked the first wedding of the year.  Everything was beautiful!

I shared six habits to a happy home (at least that work for us ;))

August

I stared brainstorming for our 10 year anniversary party - gold everywhere! eShatki also sent me a beautiful dress that I was able to review, which I loved!
 
September
September marked our 10 year anniversary, and a party to celebrate it, which was a blast having our closest friends and family together in one room.
 
October
We had another low key month with a lot of family time and crafting with the kids - which is always good in my book!

November

One of my favorite months this year - we went on a trip to Punta Cana with our best friends and had the best time and made some amazing memories!


 

December
Another favorite.  December was all about my sister's and her wedding (which I'll recap soon).  I threw her the cutest Lingerie Shower Tea Party and a few days ago celebrated her big day!



It was a great year filled with lots of memories and special times. Can't wait to see what memories are made in 2015.
