Mom Most Traveled’s Fave Blog Posts of 2008
I thought for a long time about what kind of post I should write to bring closure to 2008.
Luckily, my entire life is pretty much pain stakingly detailed already in the pleathora of posts I wrote this year.
The best thing to do is to give the best posts a few more seconds of fame before the flame of 2008 flickers out.
JANUARY 2008
In January, we posed for our first family picture as a family of 4.
My husband thought it would be a good time to do a Beegees impression. Very convincing.
FEBRUARY 2008
In February I was still finding my feet as a blogger. All I really have to show for it is a meme.
MARCH 2008
In March, 7-month-old Deeds pulled himself up in his crib for the first time! I was lucky enough to capture it on camera!
APRIL 2008
April saw me waxing eloquent about lessons learned in the school of motherhood.
MAY 2008
Was when I decided to share my travel experiences with the blogging world. I started by sharing a useful list of travel diversions for ages 2-5.
JUNE 2008
In June I reviewed clothing from Picaflor Kids. The pictures in the review are some of my favorite photographs I have ever taken of my children.
Another red letter day was when my baby brother’s band played on David Letterman!
JULY 2008
In July, my family and I flew from East coast, USA, to Vientiane, Laos. The trip was over 24 hours, and I blogged it play by play in Step By Step: Surviving A Long Plane Trip With Children.
I also shared, after a few days in Laos, about The Life Sabai.
AUGUST 2008
Deeds turned 1-year-old on August 15th, 2008! I wrote him a birthday letter, and he wrote me back!
I also shared pictures of Jojo’s room, and you guys encouraged me that my, uh, “decorating skills” won’t traumatize my children.
SEPTEMBER 2008
I paused to reflect on little Deeds and his irrepressible sprit, and on an unrelated note, shared pictures of our pitiful bathroom. Don’t be jealous.
OCTOBER 2008
Jojo turned 4 on October 25th! I had a lump checked out and lived to tell the tale!
NOVEMBER 2008
The mommy blogging world responded loudly to a Motrin ad that seemingly bashed baby wearing.
I said my piece, and later defended my position against an anonymous Chilean.
DECEMBER 2008
Mom Most Traveled rounded out 2008 by regaling all with tales of wonderful Christmases and botched New Year celebrations.
Dreams for 2009
I want to always respond lovingly to my children (no matter how bratty they are behaving)
I want to make sure my husband knows that I love and value him (he’s a good dad, too!)
I want to attend the BlogHer 2009 conference in Chicago in July.
I want to continue blogging up a storm, and I want my words to be read!
What were your best moments in 2008? What are your dreams for 2009?

This is the absolute BEST 2008 wrap-up I have ever read. I am glad I have “met” you and look forward to reading more in 2009.
Happy New Year.

What a great way to capture the entire year in one post!
I looked up the band. I could tell right away which one was your brother, he looks a lot like you!

This was a great idea for a post, and I liked looking back on things that you wrote about, especially the early stuff before I really knew you.
My favorite is still your 24hour cross-continents trip. I’m still amazed and awestruck by you! We may be traveling to Poland for my brother’s wedding (his fiancee is from Poland, which thrills my dad beyond belief since his parents were Polish). I want to take Soren, but Chris isn’t so sure. I keep telling him about your post though, and how you were able to do it. Hopefully I’ll wear him down, I mean, convince him.
