I CAN’T BELIEVE IT.

It’s December 31, 2011.

Didn’t this year  just start?

…No?

Well, this year has definitely been a life lesson. Probably the biggest life lesson year of all years ever, both personally and for my business. I grew 100% as a person and I learned so much.


Tonight I’ll be celebrating with my friends and fireworks and fun! If you’re staying in don’t forget to check out my last blog post about my twelve favourite recipes you can use for new year’s eve.

But now it’s time for me…yes me! Here are my top twelve memories from my blog for this year! (Make sure you have some cool music playing in the background from January to December 2011.
