2014, I’ve been waiting for you.

I’m someone who always gets excited about new beginnings and new chapters in life… and with every New Year, I’ve always gotten very excited and very ready to roll.

This year, for me, is about being FEARLESS and BOLD in my personal and my professional life (if my sons are reading this, it’s not “bold” like I’ll show up at his school field trip in a bikini… so don’t worry!).

2013 for me was all about baby. I miscarried before I got pregnant with my Victoria. I’m not kidding when I say, I was nervous and worried every single day of my pregnancy with her. I was never really able to just sit back and relax, even though all the doctors told me I could with her. I was on pins and needles for all 40 weeks. When she was born, it was like the release of all these nerves and these worries that had built up. I had a few setbacks with my c-section after Victoria, so I wasn’t back to “myself” till about the beginning of October.

What kept me “sane” throughout 2013 was my family, some of my best friends and my work.

I am very blessed in the family and friends and work department. I have a family who is my anchor and my core. I have friends who are lights in my life… some of whom I’ve only met a handful of times, but we’ve bonded through social media so much that I feel like they live next door! And my work. My work I love. It is a reflection of who I am.

This 2014 I’m going to be fearless and bold.

I’m going to share my help-me-lose-this-baby-weight-in-a-healthy-way-so-I-can-stop-wearing-leggings-every-single-day stories. I’m getting back into my fitness and healthy eating routine. It’s funny, I was an athlete my whole life as a child, teenage and young adult, but my sons truly don’t know me like that, so I’m bringing it back into my life. Working out was always my zen… and I need to have that piece to balance my life out.

I’m going to be sharing lots of baby things… so get ready. She’s 6 months now, so we’re totally into the baby products and toy days.

I’m going to be sharing lots of fashion and beauty for MOMS. Every single day. This has always been my passion and my love. I’ve always done this, but I’m amping it up and changing it up a bit.

I’m also going to be sharing more food and organizing and cleaning because I’m VOWING with my husband to eat home more (we eat out like 4 times a week b/c we’re “busy”), organize this chaotic/crazy house with 5 kids and keep it clean (yes, even with 4 boys).

The reason I started blogging was to share stories and communicate with other moms… this is the reason I’ve loved it and lived in this world for 6 years.

I’m excited to kick off 2014 with you all!!

I’m excited to bring more of my family into my postings.

And I’m very excited to be fearless and bold with everyone!!

Oh… and I’m wearing more red lipstick – because that’s BOLD. 🙂

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Let’s make this the best one yet!
