Hello my sweet friends!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
There was so much that I wanted to blog about in December that I just never got around to posting. At first I was pretty bummed about it... but I have made peace with the fact that I have been right where I needed to be, doing exactly what I needed to be doing. My sweet little newborn has gotten all of the snuggles he needed and I have made sure that Ella has adjusted well. Oh how she loves her new little brother. Despite the long and sleepless nights, we have all been happy as we have spent these cold, snowy days snuggled up together. I feel so very blessed.
As I reflect on the past year, and share my most popular posts with you, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and love. I can't remember ever having a more exciting, challenging, joyful, heartbreaking, eventful, grateful, and blessed year.
Thank you for sharing in my adventures this year, and for all of your support and kind words. They have truly meant so much to me. I am constantly amazed by the thoughtfulness and talent that each of you possess.
Without further ado... here are my most popular posts of 2013, in no particular order:

You definitely have your priorities in the right order Kristen and should give yourself a tap on the back! Wishing you a Happy New Year and a blessed 2014.

I know exactly how that is with two little ones! When my Owen was born in Sept. 2012 I had a 15 month old daughter. I spent a lot of days wishing I could do more but always came back to knowing that I too was choosing the right "place to be" ...mom to my little ones. Now that Owen is 15 months, and Hazel is 2 1/2, I actually have more time to "other things" and blog more....always striving to remember not to let anything get in the way of my time with them. I think this is my first comment on your blog...I recently discovered you by your beautifully decorated Holiday Home Tour. I don't know how you got that done with a newborn and little one! Amazing! Happy New Year!

I need to make those omelet bites... looks like the perfect easy to grab breakfast for the Hubster. So glad you got a nice break spending time with your precious little ones. Happy New Year!!!
