Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you and yours! I hope 2012 is full of love, laughter and ludicrous amounts of cake (I know mine will be!)

I must confess, I was asleep by 11pm last night - but when you've got a baby you've got a fairly good excuse for not burning the midnight oil on New Year's Eve. I've never really been a New-Year's-Eve-r - why celebrate something that's happened rather than celebrating the start of something new?

So here's to 2012 - I've got my fingers crossed for a paradigm shift in human consciousness towards each other and the planet rather than a world-ending catastrophe - how about you?!
