BYE 2011!!

The clock is ticking friends!!

Wow.. another year! Can you believe it!?

Lets go over some of my most favorite moments of 2011!!

What a great year for us. I normally am the person saying " Last Year Sucked " but this time... I am not saying that. I had a very blessed year. Mostly because of the kids and Scott. I had a great time this past year.

 We took a ton of vacations..

We went to Texas

for the summer with the kids and ended up bringing them home with us for the remainder of the summer.

Are they not the cutest things ever!?

Those babies from both those litters stole my heart. I can't even begin to describe what love those kittens brought into my life. You can see any of the post by clicking the " PETS " label on the right or you can also check out Kisha's House of Persians too!

Lets see.. this past year we also moved into a new home. I looooove this house..

Of course we added some new series like

and

and lets not forget

even though I have really been behind with this one because of the holidays.

I started this blog a few years ago because I wanted to record our life for family and friends who are not around us anymore. Also for the kids too. I thought it was a great way to document and save pictures and I am tickled pink that I have kept up with this project of mine through good and bad. Though, I won't lie to you, there were days when it was tricky (for whatever reason) to post or to rustle up the mojo to keep going, more often than not I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and often found myself faced with quite the opposite problem - more topics to post about than I had days in a given week! I have started using other blogs as resources to help out sometimes because there is a ton of information out there that I want to share!

Much like the upbeat looking vintage woman pictured above, I usually sat down to write posts with eagerness and a smile on my face. I had a blast covering such a broad range of topics, challenging myself to keep going on those tougher days, and coming up with new, varied ideas post for you guys. Some mine.. some not.. but ALL INTERESTING! I don't for a second regret anything put on this blog. I am hot tempered and sometimes I write when I shouldn't but as I have said many times.. My life is REAL.. GOOD DAYS, BAD DAYS, UPS, DOWNS, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. Same goes with my marriage. We are real people.. with very full life!

Many of you have been with me from the beginning of this blog, others became avid readers along the road, and a for a few this post itself may be the first they've ever read The Glamorous Life of a French Housewife. Wherever you joined up in this blogging adventure, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, encouragement, comments/emails, and inspiration.  It has been a joy and an honour to share this life of ours with you, and I truly look forward to all the wonderful new adventures 2012 holds in store for both this blog and all of our lives.

Thank you for being a part of our lives! I would love to get to know each of you more too! You can always email me at kishajaggers@aol.com and tell me about yourself! I have got a ton of emails since I disabled comments and it was totally worth it. I think you guys feel like you can be more of yourself when the world is not watching or reading your comments. So keep the emails flowing in! Sorry that I don't always respond as fast as I should.. but I do respond!

Happy New Years!

I hope you have a blessed day and I can't wait to bring in the new year with the

husband of my dreams.

xoxo
