Happy New Year!!!
While it is officially the new year as of today, I wanted to take a minute to recap my favorite moments of 2014. I did this last year (in case you missed it, here is my 2013 recap) and just loved looking back on the highlights of the year before I sat down to review 2014.
- January -
In January, I debuted new blog design and re-branded my blog with it's new name : Chasin' Mason. I also started my #BOYMOMS series and Mason turned 18 months old.
- February -
In February, Mason started Gymboree, we celebrated Valentine's Day, Seth guest posted for a very special BOY DADS feature, and Mason became adventurous with trying new foods.
- March -
In March, I made some Lucky Charms Treats for St. Patrick's Day, I had a girls weekend in San Diego with my scrapbook friends, we celebrated Seth's 32nd birthday and I made Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes for dessert. We celebrated St. Patrick's Day, Seth went to Arizona on a boys weekend to watch the Angels in Spring Training, and Mason learned how to use his bubble gun all by himself.
- April -
In April, I debuted Part 1 and Part 2 of "You know you live with a toddler when...". I shared a recipe for Passover cookies and DIY decorated Easter eggs with temporary tattoos. We celebrated Easter and went on a double surrey bike ride at Irvine Park.
- May -
In May, Seth and I attempted an IKEA hack on their LATT Table : inspiration and painted table. We went to our first Angels game of the season, celebrated Mother's Day, (Mason) had a half naked pillow fight, and I learned a lesson in patience and we celebrated my brother-in-law and niece's birthdays. I talked about feeling mommy guilt and we celebrated Memorial Day.
- June -
In June, Seth guest posted for me, I had another girls weekend getaway with my scrapbook friends, and I started my Summer Bucket List link up (and checked off various items on that list). We celebrated Father's Day and "You know you live when a toddler" Part 3 happened.
- July -
In July, I hosted a blogger toddler birthday gift exchange, Mason started swim lessons, and we celebrated Mason's 2nd birthday with a party and a weekend of fun and celebrated my sister-in-law, niece, and father-in-law's birthdays. We also celebrated Christmas in July.
- August -
In August, I recapped our July visit to the OC Fair, we transformed our IKEA hack LATT Table into an art table, we had a mini stay cation at the Paradise Pier Hotel, and we went to see airplanes and went to the Rascal Flatts concert. I also kicked off my Flashback Friday posts in a countdown to my 30th birthday with Part 1 : the 80's
- September -
In September, I finished my Flashback Friday posts with Part 2 : the 90's and Part 3 : the 2000's. I shared our family photos/Mason's 2 year old photos. We went to an Angels game and the San Diego Zoo, we went apple picking, and Mason started preschool and I announced my Fall Bucket List link up. I shared 30 things about me on my 30th birthday and we celebrated my 30th birthday.
- October -
In October, Mason had his last Gymboree class, we went to the pumpkin patch, I changed my blog URL, and I announced my Secret Santa Mommy and Me Book Exchange. We also surprised my mother-in-law with a surprise 60th birthday party for her.
- November -
In November, I recapped our not so perfect Halloween. Seth and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary with a trip to Santa Barbara for the weekend (Part 1 // Part 2 // Part 3). I had a blogger date where I got to meet Stephanie and Desiree in real life and we celebrated Thanksgiving.
- December -
In December, I recapped Thanksgiving and we kicked off the holiday season with many, many fun activities : the LA Zoo Lights, a boat parade, the Christmas train and I shared our goodies from the Secret Santa Mommy and Me Book Exchange. I shared our 25 days of Christmas books tradition, I co-hosted a blogger holiday gift exchange and we celebrated Christmas.
What a crazy, busy, eventful year. 2014 was good to us but I have high hopes that 2015 will be even better!
Wishing you all a happy, happy, healthy and wonderful New Year!
Happy 2015!
