Happy New Year! The Best of 2013

December 31, 2013 By Melanie

Wow! I can’t believe that it has been two weeks since my last post. We have been busy with our family, baby’s first Christmas and a WHOLE lot of sick. I mean it is like we were hit with some curse. I haven’t been able to catch a break and I have still had to work my full time job. Between the staph infection, six weeks of ear infections and almost ALL NIGHT constant nursing, my eyes have been closed before 10:00 every day in hopes that I could get 2 straight hours of shut eye without interruption.

It hasn’t worked.

However, I just couldn’t let the day go by without ending with my annual BEST OF post (and a link up to some of my other favorite blogging ladies)!

    I’m so sorry that you all have been so sick. It’s no fun. Sickness definitely seems to come with the season. We’ve been blessed not having much illness, but I’ve been fighting a sore throat off and on the past few days. The best part of 2013 for me was finding out I am expecting. Happy New Year my friend! I hope it’s a healthy and happy one!
