2013 in review

I'm not going to start with the old "Wow, I can't believe 2013 is over already!" chestnut because actually, I can! A year has passed and it feels like a year. I know. Controversial! So I thought, being the end of the year and all, I'd take you back on a trip through a year of Becky Bedbug. 

Some of you lovely readers will have been reading throughout the whole year (Thank you!) and even more of you will have joined along the way. This time last year, I had 573 readers (yes, I keep records, ok?). Now I have over 1200. How did that happen? 

So if you've been here all along, consider this a trip down memory lane. If you're a newcomer, enjoy catching up with what we've been doing this year! Ready? Let's go!
