New Year's Resolutions

Happy New Year!

I can't believe I'm celebrating another New Year's. I feel like it was just yesterday that Ben and I were ringing in 2013, getting excited about all the wonderful happenings that the new year was going to bring us.

And what an amazing 2013 we had! The beginning of the year we traveled to Florida and Illinois to celebrate with family and friends at our baby showers. In May, Ben and I celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary which was so much fun to reflect back on that special day together. In June, we welcomed a handsome nephew, Nicky, into our family who is going to be a little firecracker when he grows up.

Here's Nicky just a couple of days old.

In the middle of the year, and most excitedly for us, I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Logan; perfect in every single way. He has already brought so much joy to us in his 5 months and I can only imagine how he will grow and change throughout this next year. We had a ton of family and friends visit us in New Jersey after he was born which was so special.

Towards the end of the year, we traveled back to Florida for a Thanksgiving visit to see family where we were able to finally meet Nicky, introduce Logan to our family members who had not met him yet, and celebrate with my oldest brother and his now fiancee on their engagement! If 2014 goes anything like 2013, I know I have another wonderful year around the corner.

Just the last few days I was thinking about resolutions and if I should make one. My past resolutions are usually geared around food - eat more healthy, give up chocolate for a few days, etc etc; but I wanted something more self-improving for 2014. My mom and I have wanted to get this blog published for over a year now- but things got in the way, work got busy, babies were born, the house needed to be cleaned.

Now that Logan is a little older, I'm determined to dedicate some time writing about the exciting projects I've been up to in 2013 and what I have coming up on my plate in 2014 as far as preserving memories for myself and others. I also have some exciting new blog posts to share with you this year from others about how they to work to preserve the special memories that they keep close to them. My hope is that our posts and ideas inspire you to create and share your special memories with us as well.

So with that being said, I hope you enjoy reading my upcoming posts and projects as much as I enjoy sharing them with you! And as always, I'd be happy to help you create special memories for you and those closest to you. Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2014 to all of you. Tell me, what are your new years resolutions for this year? Have you stuck to your resolutions in the past?
