Best of the Nest 2009 Edition :: And a LINKY

Don’t you all want to read all about what I think my best posts were for 2009?  Sometimes I feel like all I do is talk about me and my big self and my big fat opinions and {insert Charlie Brown’s teacher’s sounds} my big imperfect lived in, house.  I’m like Nellie Olsen as a grown up with a house and a blog.  Thanks for sticking around in 2009.

Is Your Rental In Foreclosure? We had to move because the owners of our rental didn’t pay their mortgage.  I never found out why and I cried when I knew we had to move.  Guess what, we ended up in a MUCH nicer home for just a tiny bit more per month.

10 Ways to Avoid Having a Home You’ll Love

Ok, this is totally off the cuff, as I’m sitting here writing all about me and my big blog and my big self and my big favorite posts, I started wondering what your favorite posts are from your own blog in 2009.  So, I’m adding a MckLinky.   What was your favorite post of 2009 on YOUR BLOG?  It doesn’t have to be housey {even though housey stuff is my favorite to stuff to read about online} maybe it’s a post where you were particularly funny or something hard that you went through.  Link to whatever you want.  As long as it’s not an ad.  Or p@rn or a mean post about the Nester and Nellie Olsen.  Happy 2010~I love you all dearly!

As I continue to pack up our Christmas decor I’m trying to be more intentional about what I want to see when I open up all those Rubbermaid bins next year. I’m embarrassed to admit that half of the 8 bins that I have are still full of stuff that we didn’t even use.  I’m [...]

The tree is down.  My sister and her family weren’t even ready to pack the car to go home and my husband was carrying out our parched Christmas tree.   Once the gifts are opened and A Christmas Story has been aired for the last time, the tree just seems in the way.  Not only is [...]

Remember in the last post where I told you I was done decorating and I was gonna be all Carol Brady and do crafts with my boys and like, rest, relax and enjoy and junk?  I lied.  It started out so innocently.  Five minutes after publishing that post I just wanted to see how the [...]

I’ve got nothing.  Nothing funny, nothing inspiring, nothing new and exciting, nothing serious and holy, nothing.  It’s 6:30 am on the Monday before Christmas.  I haven’t wrapped one gift yet.  My house is as decorated as it’s going to get for Christmas and you have permission to let yours be as well.  We are hosting [...]
