IT'S 2016!
Happy New Year!
I hope that you and your family all have a happy and blessed New Year! May 2016 bring happiness, love and good fortune to all of you!
As I sit and reflect back on 2015, though I shouldn't be, I am still somewhat shocked as to how mean some people can be. I know that having this blog puts me out there for people to just be mean. I am always so appreciative of anyone who takes the time to read what I have to say, and I am well aware it isn't everyone's cup of tea! I am surprised that those people still come back everyday to read and make mean comments. I do publish most of the comments that I receive, however the truly hate-filled ones I just delete. It is very easy to sit behind a computer screen and comment "anonymously" spewing nothing but meanness and hate!
What is so great about this world is that we are in fact all different, and that's what makes it all so great...just think how boring things would be if we all felt the same way about things, and all liked the same exact things.
I am so thankful for blogging and social media, it has allowed me to "meet" people I would have never otherwise had the chance to meet. I love the fact that we are all able to share so much of our lives and families with each other. I love how, for the most part, everyone is so friendly and shares their tips and tricks, whether it be about fashion, a great sale, parenting tips...anything...it really is so wonderful, and it definitely makes me sad there are people out there that have nothing better to do with their time than to be mean and just try and tear other women down.
I have said this before, my life is far from perfect, and I certainly am not trying in anyway, shape or form, trying to paint a picture of the "perfect life". It has taken me a LONG time to truly be happy and content in my life, and I love sharing it with people. I certainly don't think I am better than anyone else, I am me, and I am content with just that!
I like nice things, I have always liked nice things, but I don't spend my days shopping and spending money just to spend it! There are certain things I choose to spend money on, and just because someone else thinks it's "insane" to spend $1000 on a handbag, I don't You don't have to agree with it or not, but have people not ever heard "to each his own" ?
Mark and I work as a team, and when either one of us makes a purchase, we always discuss it with each other, that is what works for us. I find it crazy that other people will sit back and judge how other people live their life, raise their kids, and spend the money that they work for!
I have never really ever felt the need to explain myself to anyone, and going into this new year I am only surrounding myself with positive people...so if you aren't going to be that, than please don't bother reading much less taking the time to comment, as it will be overlooked.
For those of you who come here and read each day, THANK YOU, it means so much to me, and I truly love sharing my life and family with you all!
I am thankful for all the wonderful "friends" I have made in 2015, and I am looking forward to sharing 2016 with you all!
Happy New Year Friends!
