Annual survey + Favorite Things Giveaway
Hi friends! As we put the cherry on top of the 2020 dumpster fire and say ADIOS to this year, I wanted to take a minute to say thank you.
I don’t take this blog or the work I’m able to do for granted, ever. Every single day I’m excited to connect with all of you in this space which first began when the Pilot told me to “stop shopping online so much and find a hobby that doesn’t cost anything.” <— lol. The blog has grown and changed so much over the years, and whether you’re an OG blog reader (thank you!!!) or a new friend (hi! welcome!!), I hope you know how much I appreciate you hanging out with me over here.
Every click, comment, follow, like, product purchase, and pageview directly helps our family and I am sending you so much love and gratitude.

I am grateful that my family is safe, that there is food on the table, and that there is hope for the future. God bless!
Honestly, so many happy memories! We bought our first house and moved to the ‘burbs and got married! What a weird year but I am thankful for so many things. Accepting and embracing that I cannot control outside circumstances but can control my reaction to them is the best life lesson I’ve learned this year.
Took the survey, too!

My happiest memory of 2020 is my daughter coming home from the NICU ❤️
SO happy for you

Seeing my son grow this year, being able to ride his bike especially
As difficult as working from home with a 5 year old and a just turned 2 year old, it gave me the opportunity to really watch them grow. My daughter was just a little over a year old when we when this all started. She has grown so much in the last 9 months and getting to watch it has been wonderful. I went back to work when she was 10 weeks old, so getting this time with her has been the best part of 2020.
Going on vacation with my Sister and Nieces before lockdowns hit last February. We went to Arizona to visit my parents who live there and it was my nieces first time being there (that they remembered) so it was fun spending that time with them.

You know, despite the dumpster fire you just reminded me that there were many happy memories this year. Seeing my boyfriend recover from COVID in March is a very happy memory, watching my sweet German Shepherd puppy Pola become the sweetest dog, cooking more than I ever have, and getting a little injection of hope with the vaccine news (pun intended;)
I completed the survey and I already follow you on instagram.
I work at a hospital on our vaccine project and I am grateful the end is near as we just started vaccinated our colleagues this weekend! At one point we delivered the vaccine to an ICU nurse that worked the shift when we lost almost 20 patients in one shift to COVID. I’m so grateful for science
Getting to spend so much time cuddled up home with my littles was trying at times, but also the best opportunity to slow down and enjoy the little things -rediscovering a love of board games, nightly family walks around the neighborhood and much more!

Happy memories from 2020 are many camping & long hiking adventures! Loved all the extra time with my family.
Extra time with my sons due to remote schooling! A gift for a Mom of 18 & 20 year olds! And we all still like each other!
I got married this year! So even in the dumpster fire that was 2020, my wedding will be the happiest and best of my memories! ❤️
Extra time at home with the kids was the best part of 2020! (In hindsight of course…)
My favorite memory: having my baby boy on Mother’s Day! He is just the sweetest and the perfect little boy to complete our family. Happy Holidays to you and your family!

The happiest memory I have of 2020 is the birth of baby #2 – my little girl! Watching her grow up has been a shining light in the midst of so much darkness. And her big brother is crushing it, too!
I’m expecting my second child! Decided to just go for it because who knows when this pandemic will actually end.

I had my twin girls in 2020!
I left a podcast review!
I turned 40 this year in April. At the beginning of covid I thought for sure everything would be shut down for maybe a month and be open in time for my birthday. Well, we all know how that turned out. But! It was one of my best birthdays ever. I started a new job and the staff was (and is) awesome and made me feel welcome and part of the group. My family took time to reach out to me. My husband and kids let me plan a day of what I wanted to do which was having a picnic and going to the lake to hang out on the beach.
My happiest 2020 moment was hearing my don will soon return home from Deployment!
