If you’ve never read Busy Bee Lauren, you totally should. One of my students, Marci, introduced me to her earlier this year and I am so glad she did. Lauren is a talented writer and photographer and oh, so funny! She recently did a post called “Year in Review” and I loved the way she did it, so I’m totally copying her. 🙂
