A New Year, New Goals, and a New ME!!

I am sitting down, reflecting on 2013 - It was a great year for my family and I!  We built our dream home, moved in, welcomed new nephews, and I went back to work full time!  As I write, I am thinking about my New Year's Resolutions.  I hate that term, resolutions - it makes me feel that they are ok to break or not follow through.  Nope, not this year.  I will be posting my New Year's Goals.  GOALS! I want to be held accountable, I want my husband, kids, and friends to be proud of me.  Most importantly, I want to be proud of ME! Stand by - this blog is up and running!
Ciao' Bellas and Bellos
