2014 found me in two countries. I went ran a half marathon in the first month of the year and neared full-term pregnancy in the last month. I ran 4 races plus completed a “race” with my kids. I cut my hair. I became reacquainted with my role as a Swimming Mom while also becoming a Soccer Mom, a Swimming Mom, and a Hockey Mom. I hosted my second Thanksgiving (where I was in charge of the turkey, again). We got our second real tree for Christmas. We had our one year anniversary in our house. I read 12 books and published 109 blog posts. My kids turned 4 and 2 and changed daycares midway through the year.
That says a lot. But it doesn’t show much of anything. Here’s how the year looked from the perspective of one photo chosen from every month of 2014.
I’m so glad I started this tradition three years ago. Watch my family grow through the years by checking out my last year in 12 photos reviews.
I’d love to see your 2014 in 12 photos. Grab the button, link up below, and use the hashtag #2014in12 to share!

January was a crazy month. I can’t believe it actually happened. Disney. Meeting Greta. Running a half marathon. It is just nuts to think about (especially in my definitely not running current condition). I like January too for all that picture means to me. :)
I can’t wait to see your pictures! :)

I ALWAYS love looking back at the year. So much so that I have 12 x 2 pictures! ;) I have never been able to narrow it down to just one pic per month. You did a great job!

Laura, great post idea! Going to try to get one up some time today! Lovely pics. My fave is the first one because somewhere in that memory is our fun evening out at Disney with Greta and Nicolette!!!
