I've been so busy, I couldn't even stand to look at my computer most days. 2012 sure went out with a bang and I haven't felt that frantic or out of touch since my wedding. I'm not sure if it was all that baking, wrapping, eating, kids being home for 10 straight days or what, but I have just been in a bit of a funk and haven't been able to get out of it.
Today was back to reality, woke up at 5 am and I just couldn't do it. By 8:40 I was crawling back into my bed for a nap. I just felt drained; still do for that matter.
All of the other ladies have been quite busy too; spending time with their families, squeezing in work on their own blogs when they could.
But, we are all still here and we haven't forgotten about you, our dear readers. We adore you!
That's why 2013 is going to bring so much more to Outnumbered 3 to 1. My plan is to get more personal; bring stories and photos of my family's life back. Reflecting on the past year, 2012 kind of lost that here and it's why I really started to reflect on my purpose here. It was always mostly about promoting brands and writing reviews. This used to be a big part of me; now I plan to bring some of that back.
Aside from my life photos/stories, I plan to post more of my own recipes and crafts. I'm constantly cooking and do the occasional craft. If I can just remember to take photos of the process, that shouldn't be a problem!
Of course we'll have some great products to share with you in this new year as well as some pretty great giveaways, as always. I am working on lining up some great stuff with the hope of including a lot more baby and toddler products here; as that is what we're quite lacking in.
I'm sure 2013 will bring great things to us and to you all around. I'm sure we will grow, prosper and be even better than before. For now, just enjoy your new year. Hug someone you love and remember that's why we're all here; why we awake everyday.. for those we love and for those who love us.
Happy New Year!

Don't worry Mel and the other ladies of Outnumbered! I'm sure most of your readers understand how frantic the holidays can get.
I'm personally there myself; I'm trying hard to catch up and it is just that...HARD o.O
Take your time and I for one can't wait to see what you've got in store for 2013 :)
Happy new year!!!
A lot of people overworked this holiday season. Hope you can get some rest soon. I think your last line is fantastic: "Hug someone you love and remember that's why we're all here; why we awake everyday.. for those we love and for those who love us." We should remember that each day! Happy New Year!

You are such a genuine person as I not only see your blog posts but also see your FB posts as well. That's why I have been following you for uh, how many years now? LOL! Have a happy and prosperous New Year!
I too am hoping to get back in touch with the personal stories and the blogging I do for fun not just because there is a dollar amount attached. My goal though is to get some sweet deals that tie them together. personal enjoyable blogging with money attached. A girl can dream
Happy New Year to you! I'm really glad you are going to have more recipes and crafts.
looking forward to your recipes! happy new year!
