First, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

It was so special spending Hugh's first Christmas with both of our families.

I really can't imagine what a blast the holidays will be when he's older.

Next, is it really about to be 2015?!

I'm thrilled to see what the new year brings, but am honestly a tiny bit sad to see 2014 go.

It was our best year yet, bringing our darling Hugh-boy into the world.

So cheers to a fabulous year gone, and an even better one to come.

I don't say it often enough, but I appreciate each of you so much.

I love reading your sweet comments and never would have 

imagined the relationships something as simple as blogging would bring.

God bless and Happy New Year, dear friends!

I also wanted to share with you my new favorite find~Rocksbox.
If you're one that goes through jewelry quickly, like myself,
Rocksbox will be your new best friend!

How it works:

2) Receive 3 pieces of designer jewelry
{a few of my favorites they carry include House of Harlow & Loren Hope}
Keep your jewelry as long as you want!
3) Swap out your set whenever you are ready for something new-
or buy what you love at 20% off.
