I’m late to this game, Dwija, will you still take me?? I’ve been scrolling through my friends 12 moments in the year 2014 and finally had 20 minutes alone to share mine. It was a really big year, and it was a small year, and it was everything in between. Instead of blog links, because I feel like I already did that a bit in my New Year post, I’m just going to do 12 photos that captured our year.

In light of BabyLoves turning a full 7 months today, going on 18 months practically speaking, we’re running a Freshly Picked Moccasin giveaway!!!
