Looking Back: Reader Favorites 2010

Last year, on New Year’s Eve, Megan started a tradition of listing Simple Kids readers’ favorite posts from the past year.  I wanted to honor this tradition by taking a look back at some of your favorites (and mine) from 2010.

It has been a wonderful year, and I thank you all, on behalf of the entire Simple Kids team, for being a part of it!

Without any further ado ….
