12 in '12

Linky parties are so much fun. We answer questions, share about our school or lives and become better friends.

Kristin (The Teeny Tiny Teacher) and Hadar (Miss Kindergarten) are hosting their second annual year in review party. Last year was 11 in '11, this year is 12 in '12.

All I have to do is think back at my favorites in 2012 and add a few pictures. What a fun way to remember the year, huh?

12. Favorite movie I watched:
I haven't seen it yet, but as soon as I see this movie, I am certain that it will be my favorite. I hope that I do not have to wait until 2013 to see it.

11. Favorite TV series:
Downton Abbey was mentioned at a cousins gathering this past July. I found it on Netflix and after 1 episode I was hooked. I cannot wait to watch season 3.

10. Favorite restaurant:
Where do I go when I get to choose? Most likely it is Chipotle. I love the Steak Salad with black beans. Yum.

9. Favorite new thing I tried:
Hands down...blogging.

8. Favorite gift I got:
I'm having trouble remembering back, so I will say: the flowers and candy bars that I got on my birthday.

7. Favorite thing I pinned:
I haven't got this necklace yet... perhaps soon?

6. Favorite blog post:
It is a tie. Farm Flaw and The Spider as Big as a Mouse.

5. Best accomplishment:
Creating the school family that lives in my classroom 5 days a week for 7 hours a day. They love each other (I know because of how they fight sometimes) and care for each other (I know because of how they show concern for each other).

4. Favorite picture:
My husband makes me laugh so much, but especially when we are on vacation. It was a long, hot day at the zoo...

3. Favorite memory:
Time with my whole family this past summer. That hasn't happened in waaay too many years.

2. Goal for 2013:
Exercising regularly would be good, but I said that last May when I had the summer ahead of me and that still did not get me to do it. I think I want it to be regular devotions and Bible reading.

1. One Little Word:
Calm. Whether it shows on the outside or not, I do not feel calm on the inside. Daily practice of being calm is helping my class (and certainly has some effect on me), but I want to feel calm on the inside, all of the time. So this year, slow down, breathe more deeply, and feel calm on the inside.

What is your 12 in '12? Hop on over to read other's or make your own, I would love to read yours.
