I use it in many different ways - this month it was the perfect way to blog the last of my Christmas photos (December Daily still to be posted!). Thanks Julie!

Great happy photos and that Artisan bread had me drooling :)
I feel bathed in smiles from all these happy family photos
Happy New Year to you and yours Rinda! And thanks for all your supportive comments during 2013.
One of my favourite things about everyone's MinN posts for December is seeing so many happy family photos. You've got some lovely shots there which I'm sure will be looked back on fondly over the years.
I hope those dogs [and the people for that matter] in the car were well behaved for those 800+ miles!
You're on the board now Rinda: http://pinterest.com/notesonpaper/my-month-in-numbers/
Wishing you a great start to a fresh new year.
Julie :-)
Lovely collection of numbers Rinda. That photo of clara is just beautiful. What a lovely extended family you have. Our family is small and I would love the hustle and bustle of big family get togethers.
You all look so happy! We used to have family celebrations like that before my Mom died. It's been quiet since. But someday I'll be the matriarch and Christmas chaos will reign again...
Lovely happy photos of a family enjoying each others company - what a great way to head towards a new year of counting
Looks like you had a lovely time! Happy New Year!
Such lovely group photos
Great MMIN Rinda x
Love all the family photos, my cousins & I always used to gather on the stairs at family "do's"
That's lovely Rinda - how nice for everyone to be together for Christmas and for you to take these photos as a memory keeper.
Happy New Year!!

What a glorious set of smiling faces! How lovely to have had such family fun ... And that bread is mouth-wateringly attractive.
What great family photos Rinda! I had to laugh at the comments about 4 people and 2 dogs in a small sedan.
