2013 was a beautiful year of quiet change

 and yet constant consistency for our family. 

 Our boys are slowly transitioning into new life stages

 and Chris and I have experienced a lot of personal growth

 as we are living in our thirties.  

Our year held struggles that grew us, 

blessings that encompassed our hearts, 

exciting moments that made our spirits sing,  

and reliable traditions that comforted our souls.  

My arms stretch out to embrace this life.  

Life is forever a blessing 

and every day holds treasures to be thankful for. 

Thank you to my readers for your loyalty and support! 

 I hope you find bits of inspiration along the way as you read.  

My heart's desire to to push the passion of enjoying the details of life onto YOU. 

Be blessed in your new year!
