Oh my — wasn’t that blogger contest SO funny yesterday???

I have been laughing about those pictures all day. You don’t think you are that awkward when you are going through those growing-up years, but when you look back on it — they are hilarious!! I had a super awkward adolescence. I was mistaken for a boy when I was 12 and it has traumatized me ever since 🙂

There were so many people that were SO close in matching up all of the bloggers. In the end, there was ONE blogger who guessed everyone correctly first.

Please meet the winner of the Before They Were Bloggers Contest:

Sara from Mom Endeavors

Sara is a blogger herself and has a really wonderful blog. Please take a minute to congratulate Sara by leaving her a comment on her blog today. She spent a lot of time holding a sick little baby yesterday and clicking back and forth to the different blogs to match all 29 faces with their blogs (she’s quite the multi-tasker isn’t she.)

And now… the moment you’ve been waiting for… here are the match ups.
