2012 has been a year to remember for me. While there have been many stressful times along the way (mainly health-related), I want to celebrate all of the wonderful things that have happened this year because I believe they are far superior to any of the bad and sad things.
In 2012…
(I know I haven’t gotten to a house tour post yet, sorry! Haven’t forgotten.)
Here are some (poor-quality) pics from the original real estate listing. Not my pics or our furnishings!
Some pics from the day we got the keys…
View of the river from the back deck on a gorgeous October day in 2012…
I promise I’ll do a full tour post at the very beginning of 2013.
I traveled to places I’ve never been to before.
New Hampshire to campaign for the person responsible for curing my apathy: Dr. Ron Paul
Ithaca, NY, where we had lunch with Ron Paul and his family.
And I traveled to favorite places that I love to visit over and over.
New York City with Dustin’s sister and her husband:
I learned about and adopted the philosophy of the non-aggression principle and made new friends and formed new relationships with many fantastic people.
(If video doesn’t display, here is the link)
I added several recipes to my collection that I’ll make again and again.
Gluten-free, Grain-free Paleo Flatbread
Chocolate Avocado No-Milk Shake
Cilantro-lime Rice Chipotle Copycat
Low-carb Grain-free Gluten-free Bread Rolls
Low-carb Pumpkin Pie with Snickerdoodle Crust (Paleo, low-carb, grain-free, sugar-free)
Tapioca Grain-free Bread Rolls (Chebe mix)
Thank you to all of my faithful readers for another spectacular year. I get emails from people telling me they have been reading my blog since the very beginning – over 5 years now! Wow! I am so grateful. I hope we’ll continue to be friends for many years to come. Stay in touch with me on Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter for off-blog updates, ideas, recipes, pictures, and more.
Wishing all of YOU a healthy, peaceful, and prosperous 2013!
Happy New Year, my friends!

That pink cake stand the crepes are on – I want it. And I want the Cilantro-lime Rice and normally I gloss over savory food but that just looks and sounds so good – so do your rolls and breads and it’s amazing what you’ve pulled off in the kitchen given the parameters you’re working with!
Congrats on becoming a homeowner this year, too! And I hope you and D have a wonderful 2013
