Happy New Year 2014!

I love the New Year. The idea of a fresh start, clean slate and new oppurtunities has always been exciting to me. But my most favorite thing about the New Year happened to me 11 years ago. I became a Mom! My sweet, perfect, baby boy Brandon was born at 9:04 pm via emergency c section 10 days early, an early birthday present to my amazing mom (who has since passed after years of battaling diabetes and heart conditions) From his first breath as the doctor took him from my womb and the whole room exclaimed "Happy Birthday Brandon" he had my whole heart, instantly...I remember the nurse rushing by to weigh and check him and all I could see was this little pink body with a full head of hair....she brought quickly over to me and said "Kiss your baby Mama" It was love at first sight, and when I finally got to hold him as we were wheeled back to our room, I knew I never wanted to let him go. In his eleven years on this earth he has grown into an amazing human being and I am so proud to be his mother. Why am I telling you all of this? Well because he inspired me to start this bloc. In celebrating the New Year and his birthday, I realized that everyday is an occassion, a reason to celebrate, create memories, traditions and take comfort in our family, friends and lives. So this blog: 365 Days of Comfort, will do just that. I will be sharing family recopied & traditions that we hold dear. I will create with my children, try new things and share that too! I am so excited to start this adventure...I hope you will join me!
