Happy Holidays! Can you believe 2014 is right around the corner?! Hope you're having a wonderful week!
Honestly, this year has has some ups and downs—long-time readers know that I'm not great with
pregnancy hormones!—so I'm more grateful and touched than ever to have such incredible people returning to Cup of Jo. I love your funny, heartfelt and insightful comments and emails every day. I learn so much and can't express how happy I am to have you here. It's such a gift to have this warm and dynamic community of likeminded women.
Here's a quick look back over the past year, if you'd like...

Motherhood posts, such as
co-sleeping with your children,
six words to say to your child,
five genius motherhood tips,
naked babies at the beach,
toddlers in the kitchen, a
lullaby that really works...and the most moving post of my entire blogging career about
a stillborn baby boy.

We also did a
motherhood around the world series, where we interviewed mothers living in India, Mexico, Northern Ireland, Norway, Congo, Japan and Abu Dhabi. I was completely riveted by their answers and was inspired by parenting norms in different cultures. We'd love to do another series in 2014 with more countries.
