The Best of 2013- Posts & Reviews

It's been a busy year here and I have the blog posts to prove it.

As always, 

THANK-YOU

for reading this blog, my reviews, ramblings and guest posts as well as the kind words and encouraging comments you've left. Blogging has been a blast, cheap therapy and afforded amazing friends and crazy opportunities from all over the world. Thanks for being a part of mine.

In the spirit of New Year's Eve, I'm looking back before moving ahead and rounding up the most read posts of 2013.

Several posts were part of series:

5 Days of Teaching Creatively,

the Virtual Curriculum Fair and

5 Days of Nitty Gritty Homeschooling.

 

I'll be participating in more series this coming year, kicking off once again with the Virtual Curriculum Fair on Jan 6 and running every Monday in January, so stay tuned; there is good stuff coming! There were several Weekly Wrap-Ups that made the top 13, which I did not include. I follow a "7 Quick Takes" approach and they are kind of a mish-mash of thoughts, ideas and humor about our weekly life. I do hope you'll take a minute and click on some of the topic titles in my side-bar, including, "7 Quick Takes" and "Weekly Report." FYI: Each title below includes a link, so if you missed a post, click the link and read away.

By far, the most read post (4 times more read!) was Delight Directed Learning.

Pshew. It was a busy year, wasn't it, and it went by fast! My 97 year old Gram says, if you think it goes by fast now, wait till you're her age; you go to sleep at night and wake up to find it's 10 years later! There's more to come. And I always like to think that the best is yet ahead. Thanks for journeying with me, blogger friend! See you in the New Year!
