Let me just start this post by saying I apologize for being MIA for a while! The holiday season is super crazy to begin with, and add to that the things my family has been dealing with lately, and I haven't been feeling all that inspired. But new year clean slate, right? 2014 is going to be THE year for the Smith family! I am full of positivity and hopefulness, and feeling extremely grateful for all of the blessings in my life. I have a kind, loving, hard working husband, the most AMAZING daughter anyone could ask for, wonderful supportive parents who go WAY above and beyond for us who I will NEVER be able to thank enough, and awesome siblings that I need to see more often (gotta get my hands on the most adorable nephew ever!). Despite a couple of small occurrences, we all have our health. We have a very comfortable roof over our head, plenty of food on the table, and our faith. I am so optimistic for what this year will bring, and I'm excited to document and share it all with you! Welcome to 2014! What are your hopes for the new year?
