Happy New Year!
Last year I started a little tradition with the kiddo's--it's a New Years Survey. They fill it out and I file it away with their school papers (the ones I keep!). I think it's a great way to recap the year and set a goal for the new year.
This year, I've decided not to do the typical New Years Resolutions. Don't get me wrong, I've done fairly well with them in the past, but this year I wanted to focus on just ONE WORD.
Maybe you've heard about it? Go here to learn more. Chose just one word that sums up who you want to be or how you want to live. One word that you can focus on every day, all year long.
I'm torn on my one word though. It's tougher than I thought it would be. I even went to this blog to get some "one-word" inspiration.
But...as I was writing this post, I realized that one word kept coming back up on the surface. So, that has to be it, right?
My life has dramatically changed since September. I have a better outlook on life, I feel energized and motivated because of the leadership that has been supporting me on this new journey. So my word for 2014 is POSITIVE. In the past, I've been known to dwell on negative things. But seriously, Nerium has given me a gift to start seeing the best out of every situation. It truly is a gift.
I look forward to seeing how this ONE WORD will help define an amazing 2014. I'll keep you posted along the way.
So...are you doing a New Year's Resolution or will you be joining me on the ONE WORD Challenge?
This year has blown by. With lots of changes in my life over the course of 2013, I am excited to see what 2014 holds for me and my family.
I thought I would wrap up the last day of 2013 with my most popular posts. I'm surprised at a few, but overall I think I've got some great readers that LOVE the same things I do!
Starting from the bottom and moving closer to the most popular post...
10. 40 Blows!
9. S'more Popcorn
8. Easy Breakfast Casserole
7. 40th Birthday Gifts for Men
6. Healthy Protein Shake
5. Recycled Wine Bottle Craft
2. Hot Cheesy Dip
And the most POPLUAR post on Crazylou in 2013 was...
Awesome Dill Pickle Dip
Now...technically these aren't all originally from 2013. Some are from 2012, but because I finally figured out how to promote my blog and ever since I became active on Google +, these posts have found new life!

Here's to a fabulous ending of 2013 and a joyous beginning to 2014!
Happy Tuesday! Today for Tasty Tuesday, I'm not sharing a recipe. It's better. I'm sharing chocolates! Have you heard of merci Chocolates? Have you tasted them? If not, you are surely missing out. These are amazing little chocolates. The folks over at merci gave me a box to sample and to give away!! How sweet are they?!
My husband and I had the lovely chore (wish I had more chores like that!) of taste testing these--my favorite is the Hazelnut-Almond. I think my husband enjoyed the Cream Truffle the best.
Each box of merci includes a delicious selection of rich, European chocolates made from the finest ingredients. Flavors range from Milk Chocolate and Hazelnut-Almond to Dark Cream and Praline-Crème and are truly scrumptious. I love the cute packaging too--there are plenty little chocolates in the box--so you could easily gift the entire box or package it up into multiple gifts!
I love there message, too--a delicious thank you. Check out their website for more ways to tell someone thank you.
Check out their Facebook page too-- they have a really cool app, the Thank-You-Maker! You can send a friend a meaningful thank you, and in return receive a Buy One Get One Free coupon!
So, today is your lucky day, my way of saying thank you! I will be giving away a merci Chocolate gift package to one lucky CRAZYLOU reader!
It's simple to enter, simply leave me a blog post on who you would like to give a big THANK YOU to this holiday season!
