Before we get into a little catch up session, I'm so excited to share with you that Tuesday was my 10 year blog anniversary, woo hoo! Almost nothing is the same around here as it was 10 years ago... my style has changed, I don't think there's a spot in this house that looks the same as when I started, the kids have grown...
