One of the great things about the group of women known as the Arkansas Women Bloggers is that we are such a diverse group.  We have different jobs, some of us have children, some of us do not, we write about cooking, family, money, kids and myriad topics.  We each spend our days doing different things, in different places and in different ways.  2011 was a great year for some of us while some of us were touched with saddness and loss.  Many of us have used our blogs to reflect on and review 2011 and we want to share many of them with you today.  Each women has a unique prespective and presentation.  Enjoy!
