Good Bye 2014

We had another fun filled Christmas that went by way to fast.  If I am being honest 2014 went way to fast.




This time of year is always filled with a little excitement; new year, new start, new chance to reinvent yourself and a little melancholy because time marches on.  I think this is greatly intensified once you have children and you see them grown up right before your eyes.

So if you are feeling a little blue I have a way to snap you out of it...

go shopping, the sales are insane!!

Here are a few things I picked up at Anthropologie








and then Banana Republic


 who doesn't need sweaters right??





If you are starting off the new year with a new workout your in luck at lululemon




Mama needs a new pair of shoes (booties)


and a little bling

cheers to 2014

decorated gingerbread houses




watched my kids dance

We still have so many activities,
