January...Hello 2013

It seems like the New Year just started but yet Spring is practically here already. How does life seem to go by in a flash even when you try and slow it down. This year I have vowed to myself that I will NOT fill my weekends with "busy" stuff to do and keep more time for us. This doesn't mean that I will say no to everything, I will just be a little more picky on the things I am commiting myself to these days. With working during the week, I need my weekends to be spent relaxing, doing spontaneous things with the kids, enjoying each other, yet while seeing the friends and family we have. So here's to 2013 and changes, slowing down and enjoying life.

This month we celebrated, well, ME. I turned THIRTY-four this year (which means I am still in my "early" thirties...at least until next year). I had a great birthday with my sweet little family and my friends. A few my close girlfriends and I went to the cutest little tea house called Paris in a Cup in the Orange Circle and enjoyed an afternoon sipping tea, laughing and just being ladies. It was a perfect day. Working on your birthday doesn't always sound the best, but when you work with some pretty awesome friends then you know it will never disappoint. To my surprise my office had been decorated with new pillows, a clock, table lamp, and a new picture frames. My work friends are truly the BEST!! Thank you friends who made my day extra special. The hubby and I were able to get out for dinner over the weekend and celebrate by birthday which is always a treat in itself. the kiddos always make my birthday extra special by just being themselves, making me a bowl of cheerios with a blueberry face ( I know not much of a breakfast, but like I said I had to work that day so it needed to be something fast), their handmade cards are always my favorite. Dinner was spent with my parents, sister and M-in-love, and the kiddies of course. It was a perfect day, just how I like my birthdays!
