Another year, huh?
I’m pretty sure I’m excited for 2013. I am expecting it to be full of a lot of good.
But before I plunge myself into the future, I must stop and say thank you for this last year. You have no idea what this little blog has done for my soul. Actually, not the blog, it’s the support and the love that you all send me THROUGH this blog.
In short, you have blessed my socks off. Through your comments, emails, texts, tweets, facebook messages, instagram following…and just reading my words. This last year was a doozy, and I just cannot thank you enough for sticking with me. The highs, the lows, the laughter, the tears…we made it. And I couldn’t have done it without you.
So, here are a collection of my favorite posts. Just click on the picture to get there…and remember that I love you and am so beyond grateful that we’re friends.


Happy New Year!!!!
Praying that this year will be a beautiful year for you and your family. And looking forward to another year of beautiful blog posts by you… Thank YOU for this blog!
Thank you so much Nicole!
Happy New Year, sweet friend. <3
…and to you too! Big hugs.
You are so wonderful. And I must admit, this post totally put a smile on my face. It was a rough morning and then seeing that picture of A in the sink made me laugh. Just what I needed.
Happy New Year to you and your family and cheers to a healthy, happy 2013 for us both!
Thank you, Katie…same to you! (and that picture always puts a smile on my face too)

It takes a very special person to look back on a rough year and be able to smile through it. And I’m sure it helps to have the most adorable little blonde baby by your side

It is indeed. Glad we already have a plan to see each other again (in like 4 months!)
You have been through so much in 2012! I pray that God blesses you beyond belief in 2013. I am so thankful for our friendship!
I just love you. Happy New Year!
The feeling is mutual. Happy, happy to you friend!
Happy New Year, Katie to you and your beautiful family. I am so glad I stumbled upon your blog this year. As much as this blog is good for your soul, it is good for our soul as well, your readers. I look forward to another year of following you and your adventures and thank you for reminding me of the kind of mother and person I want to be. I don’t know you personally, of course, but just from a glimpse of your life, you seem like such an awesome gal and a wonderful mother and wife. Thanks for sharing with us. Happy, healthy, and safe 2013 to you and your family.
Thank you for your kind words!
You and me BOTH.
Happy New Year to you! You are such an inspiration. Your blog and baby are beautiful.
The pictures of your beautiful baby reminded me how worth it it will be when I finally overcome my fertility issues and am able to have a little one of my own
Makes me never want to give up on that journey. Thank you xoxo
I will keep you in my prayers, I know how frustrating and disheartening that can be! Blessings to you in 2013.
Your posts (and those ridiculously adorable pictures of your sweet little girl) always bring me back to what’s important … so much love in those everyday words.
Thank you for sharing, and cheers to a fruitful new year!
Well thank you! Happy happy new year to you!
