Happy New Year!

I'm not going to lie, New Year's Eve for me typically includes some sort of take out, watching a marathon of a TV show in my most comfy pajamas, and falling asleep on the couch at least 2 hours before midnight. It's a little embarrassing, but hey - that's how it is at the Madigan house! Einstein on the other hand, is a major party animal, and has been gearing up to ring in the new year...

Here's to a wonderful 2012, full of fabulous photos and many new memories!
Happy New Year!

A look back at 2011...

2011 was a whirlwind year, I'm not exactly sure where it all went! Like every year, it had it's ups and downs but was filled with lots of laughter (and a few tears). We decided early in the year to build a house, and moving was exciting, stressful, and at times bittersweet. I hadn't realized how attached I'd become in just a few years to our first home, and it was harder to leave than I anticipated! Exciting and happy news was also sprinkled throughout the year, with Josh and I getting news from his sister that we would be an uncle & aunt sometime early in 2012, and two of my sisters getting engaged this fall. The year wasn't without it's challenges, as I was chosen for jury duty at a very inopportune time (is it ever convenient though? I don't think so!) and also made some excruciatingly difficult decisions regarding my future. 2011 also included a trip to NYC, lots of photo sessions, plenty of snuggle time with Einstein, rebranding my business, time with friends & family, catching a Maroon 5 concert, and making some dents in my 101 in 1001 list.

What does 2012 have in store? One never can tell, but I do know that it will bring travel, a new niece or nephew, and a new brother-in-law. I hope it also brings good health, happiness, and plenty of time with family and friends. What are you hoping for in 2012?

Happy Holidays!

It's starting to become a bit of a tradition to feature Einstein on my business holiday cards (see last year's photo HERE) , and this year I had the talented Andrea from Forever Handmade crochet Einer a little candy cane striped scarf! I think it turned out super cute, but I'll let you guys be the judge...

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and I hope to see you all in 2012!
