Well friends, it's time to bid yet another year farewell. It's hard to see 2013 go- it sor of flew right out the window, didn't it? We had a wonderful year, filled with lots of fun opportunities that we were able to experience through Mommy's Block Party, and we took a lot of neat trips with our family. Balian experienced his first ever trip out of the country, when we went on a cruise in January 2013. We're currently on our third beach trip of 2013, and looking forward to more trips to the ocean in 2014. 

We had our shares of ups and downs this year. MBP saw a huge jump in readership, and we took a big tumble in October when our site went down and stayed down for several weeks. We're back, though, and still blogging like mad, sharing what we love most, with all of you! We can't thank you (our faithful readers) enough for sticking with us. We love that you get to interact with us through our social media accounts, leave us comments, enter to win really neat prizes through the giveaways we host, and try our recipes and projects sometimes, too! We're excited about what 2014 will bring not only to us, but to all of you, as well!

We hope you've had a great 2013, and we're looking onward, with lots of hope and expectation for 2014. We'll see you in the new year!

With much gratitude,

Ondria & the MBP Team
