It's a Bouncing Baby Blog!

Exactly one year ago today, I wrote my very first post on naivehelga. That's right - it's my bloggiversary! Thanks for reading.

In honor of my bloggiversary, I re-read all my old posts (all 405 of them, and really, I just scanned) and made a list of all the As and A+s I gave throughout the year. I originally planned on doing the A-s, too, but that made the list way too long. So, here's the list:
