2011 was a very special year for me. Axel was born on January 30th and I have been lucky enough to spend everyday with him (we have it pretty good in Sweden when it comes to maternity leave). It has been an amazing year filled with laughs, sleepless nights, smiles and growth in every way. I never knew that I could love this much. I feel very grateful. Before we move onto 2012 I wanted to share some of my highlights from the year behind us.
THE BEST of 2011
- Axel was born.
- I have never felt so much love before.
- Smoothies, yummy!
- I said YES!
- I love this photo.
- Super fun being featured in Rue.
- These kind words warmed my heart.
If you would like to check out some of my favorite post from 2011 click here. All of the photos and design in this post were part of an xmas gift that I made for close family of Axels first year. I designed a 80 page book on Blurb. Below is the back cover of the book showcasing some of Axels milestones.
Thank you for following simple blueprint. I look forward 2012, I will share my goals with you tomorrow I hope. xx - Joanna
