As 2010 comes to an end and with over 340 blog posts to my credit this year, here are my Top 10 favorite Letters For Lucas posts of the year.
I didn’t pick these because of their popularity or amount of comments/traffic they did or did not receive, but because they were heartfelt, some very difficult to write and because I learned something from each one of these experiences. Thank you for accepting my words and letting me share myself with you.
If you missed any of these posts, check them out and tell me what you think!
In order in which they appeared:

Thank you for returning to read my words and helping me through this crazy thing called motherhood. I honestly don’t know where I’d be without you some days.
And to all of you new followers, welcome, it’s wonderful to have you.
I wish everyone a truly fulfilling New Year.

totally going to read the tattoo post!
I caught up and read those I missed before I followed you. One of my personal favorites that didn't make the list was your FAT post. I don't even think I commented when you posted it, but I think of it often in terms of my relationship with my own mother. Your writing is so open and honest. I envy that ability.
Oh and really you don't wash your hair for 3 days? I would totally share a bottle of shampoo with you and my bald husband, it would last 3 years.
Happy New Year Tonya 🙂
Great end of the year post.
I agree with Poppy about the FAT post and the honesty it showed. I loved reading a few of these that were posted before I followed, and the others I remember well.
Here's to another great year and who knows where it will take you!
These were all great blog posts and I think that I would have picked all of these too as my favorite. I also really liked the packing one about Mom's cups. : )
So this recap made my entire day entirely because I had no clue that Lucas a was a plagio baby and reading about the amazing progress he made "late" in the game gives me hope since we're starting the helmet journey sometime in the next few weeks!
Off to read the other posts on your list that I missed!
