Happy 2012!

We hope you’ve enjoyed our week of New Year’s Eve-inspired goodness. From the festive Royale Resolution to the {amazing!} Three Little Pigs dessert and our entertaining tips, we wanted to inspire you for the mark of a new year. Here’s us tipping our hats and saying thank you so very much for being part of making 2011 wonderful and what it was.

It was beyond fantastic but sure, it was not a necessarily easy year for us all and was peppered with incredible highs and a few difficult points and challenges loss and hurdles, but we made it out as we like to think we always do: stronger and wiser and with bright eyes.

It was also the year for relaunching our Lifestyle blog, to some incredible applause and readership. In just over 5 weeks we’ve amassed nearly 6-figures of unique visitors. W.O.W. Thank you immensely. We hope to continue to inspire. To make you smile. To give you ideas for your daily life and home and for entertaining. We will be working on relaunching our Weddings blog as well with a new look and new features so that we can continue to inspire on that platform. {If there’s anything you want to see us doing, please let us know. We’d sure love to hear from you.}

But the relationships we’ve cultivated this year are most important to us. The network we’ve developed on Twitter and Facebook is beyond incredible. Our fantastic readers are the absolute best. Our industry friends support and inspire daily. The amazing clients we’ve had and been able to celebrate with mean the world. The events we’ve had the honor of bringing to life give us inspiration and fuel to do what we do. Most importantly, the time we’ve spent with our family and the incredible, undying support we have from them, and the joy and laughter they bring us is unmatched. We couldn’t do what we do without you all. Being sounding boards for ideas and concepts, commenting and scooping up multiple copies of each magazine we’re in, and just being so spectacular means the world and keeps us grounded. Thank you all for being the absolute best.

We hope in 2012 you’ll be right back here with us as we start a new adventure of a year and a new journey. We have some magic up our sleeves that we can’t wait to unveil. Sure, we’ll greet the new year with smiles and excitement but also with the anticipation of challenges and hurdles. Those never stopped us before. We hope to make Valley & Co. stronger and better and can’t wait to get to work on some exciting projects and ideas we have brewing. We’ll continue to bring unique and original daily inspiration, tips, and photo shoots and recipes. We’d love to encourage you to leave your feedback on comments on what you enjoy and what you’d like to see {you do have to click on each post individually to do so}. Inspiring and bringing continual fun and fresh ideas are what we live for! 

Thank you all immensely. A very Happy New Year to you and yours. Here’s wishing you all the very very best. Cheers!
