32 before i'm 32

it's that time of the year again!  yup, this lady has turned 31 years old today.  boy, where has the time gone!? i'm on a mission this year-reflecting, embracing happiness, preserving memories, re-discovering my faith and projecting positivity to all around me!  after a rough year and a half-I have to say that i am content with all aspects of my life, but there is always room for improvement and i plan on doing just that!

Me with my Abuelita & Titi Clara,  one of my birthdays in PR w the fam.

My Titi Clara's b'day is tomorrow <3

Definitely unforgettable-my Abuela got me my very first

anatomically correct baby boy doll-it was quite something lol!

Needless to say I was in total shock and traded it with my

big sis Margie of Bumbles & Fairytales for the baby girl doll!

 once again inspired by one of my most favorit-ist bloggin' peeps, Jenny Meyerson (you can check out her progress HERE)-here is my 32 before i'm 32 bucket list.  wish me luck!  i'll keep everyone posted on my success for the upcoming year!
