Well, the ubiquitous, New Years Resolutions are starting to fill the pages of our screen on social media and over all the commercials...It is the time when people start to really focus on what they want out of life and what they hope to accomplish in the next 12 months. There are those that HATE News Resolutions and those that couldn't live without them...well..I am somewhere in the middle. Every single day I make a new goal...a resolution if you will...and every day I allow myself to start over...if there is one thing I have learned it is that I have to forgive myself....I CARE a lot...about what I do... whether it be in my career, my blogging world or just in my daily life. I trust... a lot...and sometimes I get burned...but I have never been happier going into what I think is my lucky number 5. 2015 is from what I can tell going to be a year where I may just have found my purpose here. I will be 35 next month and for some it's no big deal...but for me...it marks a time when I can remember telling my mom all the things I wanted to do before then...and then I realized somewhere in the middle that it was really all I wanted to BE that was important. Today I will not bore you with all of my I WANNA DO and BE list, we will save that for tomorrow, but I will leave you with this before the clock strikes Midnight.
Every day is a new day...and with that brings so much hope. It won't be easy...and sometimes the road gets a little crazy...but as long as you remind yourself that you are and can be all that you imagine...it will all be ok. Stay focused, learn to accept the bumps in the road and take a new direction...just remember you must re inspire yourself every single day...NEVERSETTLE and Let's start this year off right!

One thing I was so excited about was being able to bring our babies!!! We tried to find a place to keep them but in the end it was a blessing in disguise!! If you follow my Instagram you know we took them out on our daily workouts!! Sampson was loving it!
The house we stayed in was beautiful thank you to our sister in law who planned the whole trip! it was awesome..and so relaxing...
It is hard to believe but I made my first snow angel....yep...very first one...
We woke up bright and early Christmas day to start making the Kilbourn family recipe for potato rolls! They turned out perfect thank you to our hosts who spent all night making sure the dough was perfection!
PERFECTION!
My hubby'y brother and his wife put together the most FANCY of FANCY Feasts for Christmas dinner! The largest ROAST you have ever seen! They were incredible hosts and chefs!
It was time to start opening gifts!
as you can see I was pretty excited!
When it came time for a family photo you know I had to make everyone laugh. My favorite photos are JUST LIKE THIS.
