If you’re like me, you’ve had an overload of sugar from the holidays. I’ve eaten and baked and eaten some more. As much as I love spending all of that time with my family, it’s nice to get back into a healthy routine.

Since I’m also still putting my house back together, nothing says easy like this soup!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and enjoy these last few days of 2012! I know these days are flying by as our little Liam is growing up, but this year has really been a blur for me. I can’t believe we’re on the verge of 2013!

Also, a little pat on my back: With the days become shorter and cloudier, I always seem to have to touch up my photos a little bit, bumping up the exposure, but these photos required zero editing. So proud of myself. 🙂 Yay for photo shoots during naptime!

Onto one more mouth watering photo…
