What have you been up to?

It has been freezing here on the East Coast so we have had to find ways to keep busy.  Painting the kitchen, making placemats,  and rice crispy treats! Wondering how everyone else is enjoying your time indoors?

Brrr baby its cold outside

Yesterday was the coldest day in history for Maryland or at least the last 20 years. The pipes at work burst yesterday and today we went in there was no heat. So here I am at home getting paid and doing chores. What a way to start the new year. Almost all of the Christmas decorations are down. I need to get a new wreath for spring so I can take down my Christmas wreath. I love the cold but this is crazy...anyone else ready for spring?

Bring it on 2014

2013 in review was a great year. Started out a little bumpy but quickly corrected itself.  After saying goodbye to dear friends and starting to rebuild in a new house I can say all is good. This year my husband gave up his dream job to be more available and to spend more time with Jackson and me. My baby turned one !  He is so big and amazing.  We welcomed in a new family member in June. My brother is so happy and for that I am glad.  My baby brother is all grown up. I love seeing them so happy and healthy.  lt means the world to me to be close to my parents. I will be 30 in 2014 but I still need my Mom and Dad. This year Lupus gave me a break about half way through.  And for that I am thankful.  Going into 2014 we still have Some residual issues like the leaky roof / wet chimney and less than optimal A/ C but those things will work themselves out. This year I say goodbye to my 20's and I am ready. I want to give back.I want to spend every spare minute remembering the good times and dreaming of the better ones to come.  This year I am going to focus on the good.
