Hope everyone is having a Nutritioulicious holiday season so far! Can you believe tomorrow starts another year?! I for one can’t believe it’s almost January 1, 2013. At this time last year I was extremely pregnant and waiting for my babies to arrive (they were born January 5th). This New Year’s Eve I won’t be going to some fancy restaurant…
