2013 has been a great year! There were lots of ups and some downs too, but overall, I can look back and say that I'm thankful for a sweet year and look forward to what 2014 will bring.

In 2014, I'll be taking one picture per day to document our daily memories- the fun, the exciting, and the oh-so-normal. I did this last summer with my #summerdays2013 posts and found that even when there were days that were less than sweet, finding one positive thing to focus on and capture made me thankful for the blessings I could count in my life.

Do I think our life is so interesting that it should be displayed on a daily basis for other people to see? Nope. Not for a second. Taking daily pics is for us, just like this blog is for us- to document our lives and keep track of the memories we make along the way- and anyone who wants to peek along is more than welcome. :)

So a new series- #nelsendays2014 - will be heading this way starting January 1st! You can keep up with us on instagram or see the weekly pics here each Friday. And thanks to Shay for the idea to do it for a whole year!

Also starting January 1st, I will be participating in a HUGE cash giveaway! I mean HUGE! How huge? SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS huge. $600! What would you do with $600?! Swing by January 1st to enter the giveaway for your chance to win!
