Favorites from 2012

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and has a happy new year! I cannot believe the year 2012 has just about come to an end. August 2012 I entered the blogging world, and I'm so glad I did!

This year I also finished up my classes for OT grad school, my husband started a new job, my daughter turned 3, and we moved into our first house (that we're renting).

Looking Forward to 2013

I am so very excited to share the new year with all of you. I have more recipes and crafts to share. We are decorating our new house and are on a serious budget. I'll share plenty of info on budget decorating in the coming year, as I am sure I'll have to get to creative to stay in our budget!
