Today I am sharing a bunch of my favorite posts strung together with info about me and Doodles and Jots’ trajectory. I think my tag line says it best: Ideas for, diversions from, and celebrations of family life from a creative mom. You can also get to know more about me by checking out my About page, My ABC’s post, and Pregnancy Test Trees and a Pickle Baby (about me becoming a mom). I started this site in October 2011 with the encouragement of my sister who is a long time, successful blogger at Life Learning Today. Her blog is full of great advice on healthy, happy, purposeful living. Definitely check it out!

Thanks! Did you notice my new mini banner?
Right now I have it as a sticky post and I can display it like this, or as a hyperlink about the first post. I guess a landing page is different… Wonder what is better. This way was easy so I will live with it for a while.
I might want that info though – thanks!
I LOVE, love, LOVE your blog!

Thanks! Still want to update will post thumbnails…
Ann, this is wonderful! And I think “Doodles and Jots” explains it very well. As a writer, I’m always jotting down notes. It’s not always about the final product. Say, this would be a perfect post to link up to “What’s the Word? Wednesdays” if you’re interested. I love it. It tells so much about you and your blog, and has great links in it. Very well done!
