Happy Sunday everyone! Sorry things have been a little slow around the blog this week. It has been a bit of a struggle getting back into the regular routine again and my energy levels have been about Zero by the time I make it home from work! Any spare time I did have was spent trying to get all of the Christmas decorations away {and of course I also have a half unpacked box of Valentine's decorations!}  I am hoping that everything will be done today and I can move on to some ...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I'm not sure where 2011 went but here is to an amazing 2012!  We had a quiet night around here last night. We celebrated a New York New Years with the kids at 9:00 and then Dave and I had our annual New Year's fondue after the kids went to bed.  Dave had to leave for work at 11:30 so I got to ring in the new year on my own. {not quite as exciting!}  I hope you all had a fabulous night however you chose to celebrate!I always spend some time on New ...
