It's interesting how I have spoken with many who seem content in leaving 2012 behind, and are looking forward to the new year ahead with eagerness. 2012 was a tough year as it was filled with loss and sadness. And yet, I was reminded today about how such losses can in a strange way, give a renewed and heightened sense of hope and strength for the future. And so our family has chosen a new path for this year - one that commits to health, to positivity, to doing better, to being better. I'm excited for these changes, and I'm happy to refocus with love!
Speaking of love, the holidays always bring a lot of that! This year was sure a lot of fun and I think I must have said "I love these ages" 100 times as we watched our beautiful boys 3 and 5, enjoy the magic of the holidays. As always it was a busy month making sure that we filled the days with special moments... But I'm happy to say we managed to not move past feelings of frenzy into chaotic, thank goodness! Here are a few of the many heart warming moments of the season...
