Hey, guess what It's been a year since my request to join the HB community has been approved! I've been here a whole year! So exciting

Seriously, it's been an incredible year. The boards have been an invaluable resource and everyone has been so welcoming. I remember when I first stumbled across HB and had that 'Finally! A group that gets what's going on with me!' This time last year I was panicking about planning my son's first birthday party, closing on our forever home, and feeling really overwhelmed with the thought of becoming a mom to two under two. I fell into the March Momma group and so glad I did. I'm so grateful to all the wonderful ladies who shared my due date month Even as a second time mom, it's been a wild roller coaster with the addition of our daughter. Thank you for helping me figure it all out and listening to my rants!

But beyond them, I feel like I've really connected with a lot of you. I don't think of HB as a community of ladies and gents, I think of it as a community of friends. I've been truly blessed to get to know all of you and to those of you that I don't know, I look forward to spending another year getting to know you! You guys are truly priceless, wonderful gems. Thank you for all of your support and generous spirit!

I giantpuffyheartwithglitter all of you. Don't know what I would have done without you this year! Happy 2014!
