| Zooey's First Birthday |
November 29th marked Zooey's 1st birthday! I feel so blessed to have her in my life, the experience of being a mommy, and all my family and friends who have been there for us. It's truly been a remarkable and unforgettable year. Love you all!
The Sunday after her Birthday we threw a little party for immediate family. I used Paper-Source Fox Place Card Kit to create adorable

invitations. Since it took place in the afternoon we made yummy snack food: Roasted Sweet and Spicy Nuts, Puppy Chow (or during the holidays you can call it Reindeer Food!), carrots and dip, and homemade chocolate cake with whipped vanilla frosting.

Zooey loved seeing her family and getting cute gifts!

On another note, since December's holidays reminds people of family and giving I thought it'd be appropriate to pick the Meg Meeker, M.D. book "The 10 Habits of Happy Mothers: Reclaiming Our Passion, Purpose and Sanity" as December's read! Mother's so often want give to others and make others happy, but sometimes forget about themselves. As Meeker states, "Feeling good about your value to them [your children] is important because the better you feel, the better your relationship with them will be and the happier both of you will be. Sounds simple, but understanding our value and then feeling good about the mothers that we are (or maybe even saying it out loud!) is one of the toughest challenges we mothers face."
