happy new year!

2013

** be sure to check back later today...i'm finally going to reveal the BIG surprise **

2012, thanks for all the memories

in a couple of days we are saying farewell to yet another year. as i reflect on this past year, i am pleased to write that it was a good one. i definitely feel wiser, like i am growing up and becoming more of an adult (which i find very scary). this past year has brought me a lifetime of love through my engagement and the arrival of my nephew James. while 2012 has had it's ups and downs, i've survived and i welcome this new year. twenty-thirteen, bring it on!

"what you lookin' at Willis?"

LOVE babysitting this sweet boy

doesn't get any more precious than this

my heart melts every time i am around this sweet baby.

and here's what's been going on this past month...

Baily & Dooley snuggling

DIY burlap bubble wreaths

this Christmas i decided to make a couple of the gifts. thanks to Julianne over at J. Kelly, i ended up making two burlap bubble wreaths.

good morning

 yes, this is what i wake up to every morning & yes, she believes she is a person

the house

my future house! i was so excited to come home to find T had put the lights up & while we never got a tree this year, our house looked pretty festive from the outside

i'm going to end on this picture. she will forever be my baby and i hate to see her grow older with another year. Dooley is about to receive a big surprise and i'm nervous about how she is going to respond. i'm excited though, we have a new year to enjoy and make many more memories.

xoxo 2012, you will be missed.

please, let me know how your 2012 was spent?

merry christmas y'all



Merry Christmas y'all! i hope everyone has a wonder day & doesn't wake up to any coal under the tree ;)

p.s. i have a surprise that i can't wait to tell everyone about after the holidays are over

what's new...

yes, i haven't blogged in quite some time and i'm not going to beat around the bush about why. T has decided that i should not post my blog to Facebook...go figure (if that saying even makes sense inserted there). why do i say go figure? because i feel that my dreams have been crushed! in my mind i dream about making it big on the blog scene, and how will i be able to do that without making my blog public?!? i guess i need to reconsider what the future of my blog holds...

i will definitley continue to post on here and those of you who checked the blog without having to be reminded by facebook, i hope you continue to read and follow along! who knows, maybe (one day) this little blog of mine will make it in the big league, but until then i will write memories that only my (future) children will read...

here's a video i found at Geekologie. this website was rated as one of the top blogs from 2012 by Time. check it out, it is filled with random quirky articles!
