I am a big fan of all of those year is review lists and video montages.  BIG Fan!  I think it’s important to look back and see all that we have shared together.  Connecting with people in that way is so important.  Still…..it’s hard to believe that another year has come and gone already.  My children are a year older and becoming so independent….even my little guy.  Can we keep them little forever?

These are  the most visited posts that were created in the last 12 months.  Around here we strive to eat real food while juggling our busy lives so I introduced my decluttering strategy to help us all find more time in our days to do what matters most to us.  I am pleased to see how successful it was.  Apparently, we all need to dump some clutter from our lives.  So here’s a look back over the last year.
