Well, I figured I might as well start my new year’s resolution off right away. And, by the way, I decided this would be my resolution as I typed that last sentence.

I’ve titled this blog Hippie Mama respectively so…

My ‘lil sis, bless her strange little heart, had a dream that I turned into some crazed hippie with a fully self sufficient house, complete with roof gardens and compost piles. Apparently, in this dream world, I had figured out how to use nuts as fuel to supply all our energy needs.

She’s a nut herself…

But the whole time all I was thinking was “cool, burning nuts for fuel…I wonder if I could get that to work”

And so… Hippie Mama! (Be who you are)

So my blogging begins…2010

Oh, the holiday season…well…the Christmas season (because we don’t sit at a football game and yell out “GO FOOTBALL”, right Reyes?)

Christmas 2010…probably the best Christmas EVER! I got to wake up in my own little home, with my own little family, and sit by our tree… lights twinkling…fire crackling, it was heaven.

My hunk surprised me with these beauties…

I’ve always wanted a pearl necklace…like some 1950’s housewife or something…they just make me feel pretty J

We spent the morning eating homemade cinnamon rolls (they get better with time, I hope),

Sitting by the fire (in our 1^st annual Christmas jammies), and wishing for snow.

Then, off to the ‘rents! Most of the day was spent talking in a language consisted mostly of vowels hovered above the cutest face on earth…

(Sounds something like “ooobababaaaamaaaalammmaaaoooo”)

There were presents galore...

...food, food and more food…and let’s just say it’s a good thing I wore those stretchy pants.

All in all it was a good one….a great one J
