It’s hard to believe that its been one year since I wrote my first article on Decatur Mom. When I started this blog to share my experiences with raising two young children in the City of Decatur I had no idea that it would connect me with so many wonderful moms, dads, small business owners, bloggers, community organizers, event planners and educators in Decatur and beyond. I just wanted to take time out to thank you all for your supportive ideas, comments and feedback during my parental journey. I’m looking forward to many more years of sharing and connecting with you.
Many Decatur Mom readers may not have found me without the help of popular blogs like Decatur Metro, inDecatur or Next Stop…Decatur. Along the way, new blogs emerged to offer additional Decatur coverage like The Decatur Minute and CSD Mom’s blog. I feel very lucky to be a part of the Decatur blogosphere, especially at a time when there are so many challenges and opportunities in our neighborhood and the larger Metro Altanta community. Thanks again for your continued support.
Here is a recap of your favorite Decatur Mom articles from the past year based on your activity and visits:
