It's the last Wednesday of the month! You know what that means!
Time to catch each other up on what has been going DOWWN...I think most of my blogger friends are on vacation so this may not be a "thing" this month, however, I couldn't resist! Here is my last "What's Up Wednesday" for 2015!
What we're eating this week.....
Back on the health train...for the most part...looking forward to an awesome NYE dinner tomorrow night...it is being catered by The Tuscan Kitchen which is phenom...and I think I will be making my food purchases from there as well for NYD for our fams

What I'm Reminiscing About....
Last year....at this time...how sad I was...how unhappy at work..how stressed...how sick....
and now, every day, I can't feel and share enough gratitude.....
sometimes you really have to go through tough times to appreciate the good ones that come along
So grateful....so blessed...so happy to be here now
What I'm Loving...
My Christmas Spirit this year....I started watching the Hallmark Christmas Movies on November 1st.
I lit my holiday candles every day and I am not stopping
I am holding on to every last ounce of spirit through New Year's
I mean...wouldn't you love this view from your desk?
and I am LOVING that my girls are playing together....it is so cute to watch them enjoying each other...
