Ringing in the New Year

What an amazing year 2013 has been! 

I have accomplished a lot for myself and for my family and I feel like have I been blessed with so much and have a lot to be grateful for. 

I love my beautiful family! I have an amazing husband who loves me a heckuva lot and even though I have some crazy ideas, I know deep down he supports me :) Our beautiful daughter recently had her first birthday and is now walking around whenever she can. She has 10 teeth and is such a ham! I am so proud of her and every little accomplishment she makes I just want to hug and squeeze her. I love that little girl! 

This year, we also announced that we are expecting baby #2 in May 2014!

We have been blessed with a beautiful home that I'm really excited to watch the kiddies grow in. I'm looking forward to spending times in the backyard in the summer and enjoying the neighbourhood together :)

We also purchased a van this past summer! Paid in full, and ready to go! We are definitely excited for some grand family adventures... We already took it on our first road trip with Ella to Canmore and Drumheller with Gramma and Grampa Boisvert and our cousins. The van proved itself worthy! hehe

Earlier this year, we've started cloth diapering (which I must admit I haven't done it 100%) but it really is quite fun. :) I also learned how to knit! Something I've always wanted to learn! 

I also had the opportunity to go to Maui with my dear husband this year. (His first time to the ocean!!) it was amazing and beautiful and we enjoyed every second of it!

All in all, it was a great year and I'm looking forward to 2014!

Of course, I'm not perfect and I definitely have areas I need to improve in so.....

2014 Goals: (well some of them!)
1) Be more strict with myself about budgeting and financial stuff.
2) Keep the house clean, tidy and organized (ALL THE TIME).
3) Be greener in household cleaning. 
4) Stay focused on the important things and be more appreciative of what I already have.

I just love my family!
