new years!!!

first attempts at ipod pics...merry Christmas from our master of ceremonies for present opening!

he had so much fun at the beach!!!

no make-up selfie....note to teenage girls, never pluck your eyebrows, you will hate yourself for it in your 30's when you attempt to grow them back. and watch out, they don't grow back...but still attempting to love myself with or without make-up!

shredding with their new pal...

snack break, and the hubby ready to sneak away to shred it himself.

grow hair, grow!!!

camera hog!

ready for a new year to begin. I have been a little under the weather and so my hubby and boys have been sweet enough to tend to my sickly needs. went and ran errands with me. made me tea and food, made sure I had a smoothie and vitamins this morning...that is what life is all about, right?

we r having a low key new years at home, just the family, probably in our pajamas watching Man of Steel and eating a little BBQ....ribs for the boys, vegan bratwurst for me, zucchini, baked butternut squash, roasted red potatoes...we got a few fireworks, but hopefully I will be sound asleep before things get wild. I worry a bit about my munchkins when my hubby and stepson become pyros with those dang fireworks...

I am excited to get back to blogging again in 2014. been really getting inspired by some amazing and talented bloggers as of recent. love my fashion blogs, but for me this holiday season has introduced me to the world of organic living, health, beauty, fitness blogs. A lot of women similar to myself that have transitioned into a eco-living lifestyle and being. I am taking it one step at a time, but want to document my journey...I led anything but a healthy lifestyle in my 20's, even into my 30's...now that I am nearing 38 I want to finally take full control of my health. Eating better, continuing to exercise, but also trying new forms of exercise, ridding my house and personal care items of chemicals and toxins that are terrible for us and our world. I am taking it one step at a time, but feeling incredible with my baby steps.

For now I want to wish everyone out there a fun night no matter what your plans are, and a 2014 that brings happiness and success to all. I have a few iPod pictures to share...my iPod touch has a camera only on one side of it...my stepson said this is odd. It has caused a ton of perplexing situations as I have tried to get some nice shots. I also can't figure out how to zoom out so I apologize for all the close-ups...soon enough it will all be like second nature to me.

Thanks for stopping by as I attempt to Reinvent Merdy!!!
