12. Favorite movie you watched:

Oh boy.  I can't even remember the last time I watched a movie, let alone what it was.  I did watch Toy Story 3 with my sons the other day and I was reminded what a sweet movie it is (even though it reminded me how quickly my kids will grow up).

11. Favorite TV series:

I think for this year, Modern Family is one of my favorites because it always makes me laugh!!

10. Favorite restaurant:

Olive Garden- bread, salad, pasta...what's not to love??  And they'll keep bringing the bread and the salad (and sometimes the pasta too if they are doing all you can eat!!)  ;O)

9. Favorite new thing you tried:

Definitely blogging-  but it's still kinda scary putting everything out there and hoping SOMEONE will like it.

8. Favorite gift you got:

Can it count as a gift if I gave it to myself?  I think yes!  I got an iPhone 5 in November after my poor iPhone 3 finally had to be put to rest!!  It feels so good to have a smartphone that's actually smart again!!  I finally feel connected!!

7. Favorite thing you pinned:

I love the inspirational pins I see.  They are a good reminder to me just when I need it!!

6. Favorite blog post:

Well, we haven't been blogging long, so I would have to say our TpT giveaway because that is how we met so many wonderful people who are showing us their support!  I know it's not the best post, but it was the beginning of something huge for us!

5. Best accomplishment:

Well, Stacia had started a TpT store and asked if I wanted to work with her on it.  I said I did, but I didn't really put a lot of effort into it (I just had too much going on to focus on it).  But, around March or April, I really decided to try a little harder and I am so glad that I did!  It feels great to be able to share!!  And, I think it makes me a better teacher, too!

4. Favorite picture:

My Littles.  I love this picture.  This was Easter.  I've tried to recreate this exact scene several more times to no avail.  It's just never quite the same as this picture.  I love my littles!!

3. Favorite memory:

Camping- family, s'mores, campfire= happiness!!

2. Goal for 2013:

Find a balance between being: a mom, wife, teacher, and now BLOGGER.  I want to be my best at all of these, so we will see if it's possible!

1. One Little Word:

Blessed

12. Favorite movie you watched:
James Bond Skyfall- My extended family and I have a tradition that we always go to dinner and a movie the night before Thanksgiving. We've been doing this for more than 15 years, and it is so much fun! We take up 2 whole rows in the theater! :)

11. Favorite TV series:
My favorite show of all time is Friends. I watch the DVDs all the time! So funny and cute of course!

10. Favorite restaurant:
Too many to choose! I love going out to eat! Mexican food and Italian food are my favorites!

9. Favorite new thing you tried:
Blogging! I have a lot to learn, but I'm really enjoying it!

8. Favorite gift you got:
The best wedding present of all- Time with my family and friends! We had a whole wedding weekend of festivities, and guests came from all over the country. It was such a special gift to get to share that happy time with them.

7. Favorite thing you pinned:

That quote is so true! There are always going to be struggles, but it is learning to look for the positives and embracing those special moments.

6. Favorite blog post:
Well, since I just started blogging, I guess I don't have too many choices. But, like Amanda said, seeing the response to our weekend giveaway really made me smile. I am so excited to be a part of this network of teachers and lifelong learners! Everyone has such wonderful ideas to share!

5. Best accomplishment:
Becoming Mrs. Kratzer! Getting through all the wedding preparations AND planning AND making it to the altar! :) I never realized how much work it was! Fun and exciting, but a little stressful! I got married in July to my very best friend, and it was the happiest day of my life.  :)

4. Favorite picture:

I have so many favorites! I love taking photos!!! This is me and my hubby at our rehearsal dinner. It was in a retro bowling alley and lounge. So much FUN! :)

3. Favorite memory:
Swimming with dolphins in Mexico on our honeymoon! INCREDIBLE! :)

2. Goal for 2013:
To be the best wife, friend, and teacher I can be :)
