I'm not the first to share how parenting changes your life and those adorable little creations you birthed are sometimes time-suckers for attention, feeding, bathing, changing, etc.. Sometimes, a "date with your spouse" is when the kids go to bed...

So the holidays are over and it's time to start thinking about the new year.  New Year's Eve is one of my favorite holidays. I love taking the time to reflect on the last year (I love all the...
