It's 2008!!

HOORAY! And BEST WISHES for a TERIFFIC YEAR, this year, 2008!!!

I had a wonderful 2007; Nate and I got married in April, had the most amazing time EVER in Tahiti...Spent the summer in Huntington at Dog Beach every weekend, Leela turned FOUR! I started this little space on the giant internet so that my junky pile of note book paper, junk mail envelopes, napkins & sticky notes with recipes & ideas all over em would be all electronically organized in one place...someday, not quite there yet. :)

I don't really set "resolutions" but I do have some goals I hope to achieve in 2008, for sure. I found so many fantastic blogs and groups like the Daring Bakers that have totally inspired me in 2007, and I am so excited to see what they will bring to the table in 2008!

Here are a few of my favorite things, from 2007:
