2012 was a fantastic year and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to share it all on my blog, on twitter, and through photos on instagram. Before we head into the new year (and I get to finally write all these posts I have in my head!) I wanted to share some of the highlights from this year. Can’t wait for 2013!

I had my first real style post with the Washingtonian’s What I Wear to Work feature. Maybe next year I’ll start doing more of these!

I made an electoral cake map with my friends and we spent election night filling in the states with red and blue frosting. *Reminder: must trademark cake stencils before 2016!

These Side by Side posts may seem simple, but they’re some of my favorite posts to put together. I especially love this pink polka dot one!

I loved these pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies – and so did you. Some of your other favorite dessert recipes: pumpkin cupcakes with brown butter cream cheese frosting, lemon ricotta cheesecake bars, sweet oatmeal cream pies.

I love the color pink! (But you already knew that.) I made several pink posts this year but these are my favorite: Hot Pink & White, Flooded Pink, Garden Party, Deep and Dark Pop of Pink, Rainbow Sherbet.

My apartment was featured on the Everygirl! (What an awesome way to end the year!) I know I haven’t gotten around to it yet, but I promise a post soon with more photos and details of where everything is from.

Finally, a few of my other favorite posts from this year:

• Things I’m Afraid to Tell You – what a great blogger project to be a part of.
• Figuring it Out – can’t wait to continue this series in 2013!
• Let’s Get A little Intimate – real talk about bras and boobs.
• Galley Kitchens – inspiration for my tiny kitchen.
• Guest Posts – I hosted so many awesome bloggers on two guest post series this year! Check them out for beautiful Valentine’s and summer vacation inspiration.

I’m seriously excited for 2013! Happy New Year!
