favorite purchase you made: mini-van, baby! (but seriously, it's pretty legit)


a performance you went to (or participated in): James' preschool Christmas performance 

a home decor project you completed: Well, it's not completely completed, but we painted our living room, dining room and entry all clean white. I love it. 

the album you couldn't stop listening to: "The Art of Celebration" by Rend Collective

a new experience: being the mama of three littles

something that surprised you: How hard pregnancy number three was. I love my babies, but I don't think I could ever be pregnant again. It was pretty miserable this time around. Here's to a physically and emotionally healthy new year!






Happy New Year!!!

    1. Yay! What a year it has been for you, Kelsey! ....I loved your photos from your trip to Sri Lanka... Also, I think I will adopt your "uniform". I need to invest in more flowy tops after baby #3 :-)
