As we travel our way through January of the NEW YEAR, I wanted to reflect a little on the year past.

A good year to me, is a year with much learned.   Here’s a quick run down:

1. What a temper tantrum truly is.  Lucy never had one.  Ruby, at one, decided to make up for it!  Complete with throwing her body, full force, into the kitchen cupboards.

2. You should not live in your house during a full kitchen reno.

3. Learn a little Italian BEFORE you head to Italy.

4. The Real Housewives series is VERY addicting. VERY!

5. Travel MORE

6. Talk less… lol.  It’s a hard one for me.

7. Family dance parties are much better when Daddy is involved.

8.  No matter how many times you vacuum the couch, the dirty English Bulldog will always make a return.

9. When your husband teaches your children to “head bang” – BE PREPARED

10. There is NOTHING better than hearing my 2 little girls giggle together. HANDS DOWN.

Due to the fact that I believe IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS, here are 12 (for 2012) of my favorite details from the past year.
