That's A Wrap, Folks.

I feel like at the end of every year we always tend to say,

 "Wow..that year flew by." 

Is it because it really DID go fast? Or because we start reflecting on all that year has brought us/taught us? I'm not really sure..but what I DO know..is that every time another year ends, I always feel like I can't remember all that happened (my memory after pregnancy is especially no bueno). 

Good thing I have a blog, eh? 

Now..enjoy some of my favorite highlights & posts from this crazy year we called 2012. 

Some I am SUPER proud of...and some...not so much. It wouldn't be fun if I didn't make fun of myself a little, right? :)

I asked all of the girls what their GOAL FOR 2013 was...I always love hearing about New Years Resolutions/Goals that people set for themselves, don't you? Now..it's just about KEEPING them that's the hard part!! ;)


RUTHIE from THE CHRONICLES OF RUTHIE HART: "To be more intentional with my friendships." {BLOG} {TWITTER} {INSTAGRAM}

ASHLEY from FLATS TO FLIPFLOPS: "I usually choose a quote I love for the year and try to live by it.  I print it out and frame it for my night stand so I can look at it everyday and remember what I am striving for!  This year I have decided to take Christmas with me all year round: "Wise Men Still Seek Him."   {BLOG} {FACEBOOK} {TWITTER}

CARA from IN SEARCH OF SUNSHINE: "Planning meals and shopping smarter- no more wasting food and never knowing what to make for dinner!" 
{BLOG} {INSTAGRAM} {FACEBOOK}

MORGAN from BINKS & BUBBLE: "To spend at least 20 minutes a day on myself by closing the door & sitting in silence or going on a walk down the block etc. i'm totally on the bottom of my own list - i'm a mom ..it's what we do. but my number one goal for 2013 is to bump myself up the list a few spots!" {BLOG} {TWITTER} {SHOP}
