HAPPY 2013!

Before ringing (I use the term VERY loosely) in 2012, I sat on the couch, super pregnant watching the Citytv New Year's Eve bash.

This year, two of my best friends came over. Chris made a yummy chicken curry for dinner, we enjoyed a cocktail and played with Hannah and all of her new toys.

Hannah crashed around 11 p.m. It was difficult, but Chris and I made it to midnight. We were in bed by 12:03 a.m.

It's funny to think a few years ago I would have been downtown, celebrating in a club wearing an expensive dress and way too much make up...and not getting home until around 4.

2012 had its ups and downs, but will always be dear to my heart. After all, that's when my first child, my daughter, my new best friend, was born.

I hope all my readers have an amazing 2013 and that you'll continue to follow my blog. Thank you for all your support in 2012!

Wild New Year's Eve Party at the Toronto Zoo

So how will I make Hannah's first New Years wildly exciting?

Spend it at the Toronto Zoo of course! (And quite fitting, since the last time I was at the Zoo I was 40 weeks pregnant, and walked around the entire place (save the huge hill to the Canadian animals) to try to get labour going.)

On Monday, December 31, 2012, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., partiers can enjoy:

• "That 60s Show" tribute band 
• Kung Fu Panda 
• Majinx Magic Show 
• Kung Fu Panda's "Po" and The WotWots Meet & Greets 
• WILD animal visitors 
• Kid's Countdown at 8 p.m.!

Space is limited, so the Zoo suggests buying your tickets online or at Guest Services.

What are you and your kids doing on New Year's Eve?
