Throwback Thursday: 5 years

Phew…I’m back! Life got crazy for a variety of reasons, and my blog got the short end of the deal, but I’m happy to be here now!

Today, in honor of Throwback Thursday AND my 5-year blogiversary, I’m looking through my old posts with fresh eyes. I’m discovering and rediscovering all kinds of treasures…

I’m finding that of course some things change and others stay the exact same. Siblinghood continues to be equal parts harmony, chaos, discord and joy. That’s why we call it Sibling Revelry, right?

I’m finding excellent and timely reminders about parenting and forgotten photos that need no caption.

I’m finding that I hardly recognize the faces in my early blog days.

And I’m finding that some things really never get old. No wonder these are my kids’ favorite three posts:
Next lesson: What is lame?
See also: “Totally bogus”
I mean, seriously

I’m finding that I STILL get traffic on this post and frequent requests for the bumper stickers. (I’ve still got them if you want. Long live Tami Taylor!)

But mostly I’m finding that I’m grateful to have this blog and people who cheer it on. I’ve always been happiest at the place where stories, family and art intersect. Thanks for sharing that space with me!
