2010…what a year! I have so much to be thankful for, both personally and professionally. There have been so many wonderful and exciting happenings in babybites land, and I have you, our passionate and loyal babybites community, to thank for that. So thank you for all of your insightful blog comments, your fabulous responses to our weekly raffle questions, your overflowing participation in the most popular support group program in NYC, your posts of the most amazing nannies on our nanny board, your contribution to the over 1,300 tweets in one hour at our very first twitter party, but most of all, your choosing to be part of the babybites community. I hope we have afforded you the opportunity to either learn something new, make a new friend, or have a good laugh! Heather and I promise you that we have lots more new and exciting stuff planned for you in 2011, so stay tuned!
Now, on a more personal level, I just wanted to share some other things that made 2010 the amazing year that it was:
- Saturday mornings in bed with my husband and two kids
- My mom
- Spontaneous kisses from my 2-and-a-half-year-old son
- Spontaneous “I love you” offerings from my 5-year-old daughter
- Dunkin Donuts Coffee – light with one splenda – Yummy!
- Date nights with my husband – even though they are often on the couch with a bottle (or two) of wine
- Friday night dinners at my parents’ house
- My job- I LOVE it!
- My daily morning phone meetings with my partner, Heather (as I’m drinking my morning Dunkin)
- My runs outside with my cheesy 80’s music
- Pork fried rice and spare ribs – another yum!
- Curled up in my bed with my gossip magazines and a cup of hot chocolate
- Left-over Halloween candy
- The amazing people on the babybites team; my relationships with everyone in our organization began professionally and has evolved into true friendships!
