2012 Best & Brightest

Christina from Bunting, Books, and Bainbridge is hosting a wonderful new linky party called

This is a change to talk about all your best moments from 2012.

The best thing I did in 2012 was start a blog. It was a huge step that I was nervous to take. However, it was the best leap of faith I could have taken. I have learned so much from all you bloggers out there. I am 100% confident I will be a better teacher because of you all!

I couldn't believe the impact this little blog has made. I have readers from all over the world: Russia, Philippines, Latvia, Israel, Canada, Spain, Germany, UK, Indonesia, and Australia! It is crazy to think it has reached that far across the world! I am amazed at the power of the internet each and every day!

My favorite post was this one. It was where I created and shared my first ever freebie for you all. I loved being able to give back to the teacher community that helped me so much.

My favorite blogging memory was hitting 100 followers and hosting my first ever giveaway. I was so amazed at how the blogging community came together to help me out with the giveaway. Everyone was so willing to help me out and I couldn't be more thankful!

2012 was a year filled with amazing bloggers. My top 2 bloggers are of course Kristin (A Teeny Tiny Teacher) and Michelle (The 3am Teacher). Kristin provides the best medicine of all: laughter. If I am ever having a stressful day, I can log on and read one of her posts and instantly feel better. She is hilarious! Michelle is the kindest person you could ever meet. She is always willing to lend a helping hand and answer any questions you might have. I wouldn't be where I am today without them!

2012 was amazing and 2013 can only get better from here! Merry Christmas to everyone! Hope you have a fantastic end to 2012!
