Two Thousand Fourteen is knocking on the door, and I can’t help but feel like it’s one of those party guests that misread the invitation and arrived while I’m still unshowered and hurrying to vacuum the living room. Anyone else feel this way? So when a group of our blogging buddies suggested we do a Top Posts of 2013 blog hop and giveaway — $800+ in gift cards are up for grabs!! — it seemed like the perfect way to bring some closure to 2013. As I was combing through our archives to pull out my favorite posts for our recap, I was excited about everything we have accomplished in 2013, and even if I’m still in in my pajamas, 2014 is going to be great!
Okay ready to get pinning? Here is our 2013 recap…

If you mean Halloween 2013, I wasn’t anything. If you mean Halloween 2014, it’s too far away to think about.

I’m never ready for a new year usually, but this one has been fraught with bad news: so yes!

Not quite…but I’m getting there. I need a calendar and some healthy recipes and then I will be ready to go!
I am never ready for the new year! I always think of all the things I didn’t get around to doing…but on the flip side it means there is always a ton of stuff I have planned for the upcoming year!

I may not be ready for 2014, but I am SO ready for 2013 to be over that I will take whatever comes next happily.
My family and I had a great 2013, now we’ll have an even greater 2014 with the arrival of our fourth little family member due in June.
no, not ready, not looking forward to it if it will be like 2013.
So cool!
I am ready and hoping it will be better than 2013!
Why not? The beginning of a year always seems like a great opportunity for reinvention so I welcome it.
Yes – I am ready for a new year, new opportunities and lots of joy!
yes I am
I’m still getting ready for 2010!!!!!
Hahaha! I hear you. This really gave me a good chuckle Paula.

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if
you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter
updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe
you would have some experience with something like this.
Please let me know if you run into anything.
I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward
to your new updates.
