Friday Fun Links... the best of! -

Char here…

In just a FEW days, we’ll be celebrating one year of NanaHood.com. We’re celebrating with a BIG BIRTHDAY BASH, and you are invited! (Pssst, you might want to click on that link and read the Birthday Bash post. Then you just might want to leave a comment and twitter and fb… just sayin’).

As I was thinking about what to write about for today’s Fun Friday Links, it occurred to be that a “best of” post might be fun. Teresa might not ever think to point to some of her best posts throughout the year, so I figured I could do it for her! (And just a tiny hint to those of you paying attention: these links MIGHT just help a little with a game we’ll be playing next Wednesday).

So, here goes… some of the best of NanaHood.com, from year one:

Pink Ladies, Parking, and other Problems – this was one of the first posts Teresa wrote, and I remember laughing and thinking, “yes, she is going to do JUST fine with this new blog”
Nana of the Week… Cheryl Booth – ok, this one wasn’t written by Teresa, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to praise my Mama one more time
Us Old People Need Something To Do – another one that made me laugh
Poppa and the shwing set – cute post about the Poppa behind the scenes
Whispers From God – this one makes me cry
Cooking, cleaning and dealing with a house full of boys – makes me nervous thinking about my future with my two adventurous and creature-loving boys
Every Other Weekend – just read this one
Crafting With Mema – Intro – another post NOT by Teresa, but once again, I couldn’t pass up the chance to praise my Mama and show off my kids (and, in case anyone wonders, we WILL have more Crafting With Mema segments soon).
Ten Things Nanas are Better at Blogging About – one of the best and most fun “why you should blog” posts around
Giving Thanks for Courageous Kids – the post about our charity of choice here at NanaHood
This I know – what Teresa knows for sure
Giving Thanks for God’s Plan for Me – all of Teresa’s gratituesday posts are great, but I really, really liked this one
Giving Thanks for Mothers – some really great advice from Teresa’s mama
Wordless Wednesday – no words, just beauty
Giving Thanks for my Poochy Tummy – this one makes me smile (and it makes me wish I lived close enough to go shopping with Teresa)
Royalty for a day – every girl dreams of wearing a crown at least once in her life
Grandparenting Questionnaire – this one isn’t a post, but we still need folks to fill out the survey!
And do NOT forget to visit the BIRTHDAY BASH post and make a comment and then tweet/facebook/blog and make MORE comments! You could win the FIRST game of our Birthday Bash!
