Reflections

It has been somewhat of a roller coater ride but I am still here as is my little family and that means the world to me 2014 which is still only a few months old has seen many changes happen in our house and I am now taking some time to reflect on a bucket list I wrote a few years ago and to see if I have ticked anything off Reflection comes from this being the last year of me being in my 40s and looking forward to being FABULOUS at 50 in more ways than one.
