"Three on Thursday"

I had to adjust to a new routine in a new place:
"In the Interest of Full Disclosure"
and

I shared how we clothe five children:
"Clothing a Bunch"

Do you have a favorite blog post that you wrote in 2011? Leave the link in the comments. I'll be recovering from dental surgery the first week of January and I'd love to have a little stockpile of reading.
I have been thinking about doing a "year in review" kind of post, as many others in Blogland are doing them...and I find it quite interesting to see a list of highlights all in one place. Your post this morning was the inspiration I needed to put it all together, and I have spent WAY to much time doing it, but here it is.
