It took a week to recover from our crazy year and regroup - and think about all of the amazing things that happened in 2010. I can't believe what an amazing year it was - and I can only imagine what could happen in 2011! Here's a little review of what happened, in case you forgot too!
Lars turned two! We hosted a Mickey Mouse themed party at our house for family and friends (that's about fifty people. Yep, 5-0 people). About a week later, my girlfriend came over for dinner and we started talking about my little business and how we could grow it together. She came on board as my Media Director about a week after that.
Homemade Limoncello starts! Lemons are peeled and in vodka - scroll down to see what happened with it. If only I had known then what I was making it for...
February 5th we welcomed a perfect little girl.
We celebrated Easter in Hawaii and I made papier mache eggs. Turns out it doesn't set up so hot in the humidity. I'll work on it again this year.
My first stab at a legit vegetable garden started this summer. After months of planning, the garden went in and grew beautifully. If the weather would have cooperated and given me any warm days at all, my tomatoes would have actually ever turned red. Many lessons learned and I can't wait to start again this spring!
In August we went to a great wedding.
The cover shot for my book was taken in September, in the backyard of my friends Amy and Scott Hutchinson. Seeing the cover laid out for the first time was a little freaky and totally exciting! The book was definitely going to happen.
Halloween hoodies were a hit for the entire month! That roar was perfected in a few days and it's all we heard while that hoodie was on.
In print! What?? It's official, I am scheduled to be at Metropolitan Market signing my book. But I have yet to see the finished book...
An amazing amount of faith and support leads to being able to be on Better Northwest once a week, hosting my own segments. Maybe more in the new year?
Thanksgiving in Palm Springs and a heavenly margarita made with fresh Meyer Lemons and Key Limes from our trees.
