Mommy Musings

I'm gonna be honest, I'm really not that sad to see 2012 go.  It has been a rough one for our family {and considering both Emmy and I are sick today it's not letting its grip go on us anytime soon}.  I'm really hoping that 2013 brings far more joy and way less natural disasters:)  But before I kick 2012 to the curb, it's time for a little look back...it wasn't all bad I guess.
