Annual survey + Favorite Things Giveaway

Another year of blogging complete, and I just wanted to share how thankful I am for all of YOU. You make this little corner of the internet so.dang.amazing and I hope you know that Iโ€™m grateful I am for my circle of virtual BFFs. 

Thank you for being there with me through some of the highest highs and lowest lows of our life as a family. You kept me company during multiple deployments, celebrated our babies being born, held me up during difficult times, made me laugh, and supported me, from your keyboards! I donโ€™t take the work Iโ€™m able to do for granted, ever. Even when technology hates me, Iโ€™m on a deadline and pulling out my hair, or filming content for the third time in a row because I messed something up, I always remember how fortunate I am. 

Annual survey + Favorite Things Giveaway

Every single day Iโ€™m excited to connect with all of you in this space which first began when the Pilot told me to โ€œstop shopping online so much and find a hobby that doesnโ€™t cost anything.โ€ <โ€” lol. The blog has grown and changed so much over the years, and whether youโ€™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. 

Annual survey + Favorite Things Giveaway

Every click, comment, follow, like, product purchase, and pageview directly helps our family and I am sending you so much love and gratitude.

    Looking forward to opening gifts I ordered for myself. My husband is not great at gift giving (though great at most other things…this is the weak spot in our relationship – and I get really unimportant in the scheme of things). I got tired of being disappointed so just ordered what I wanted and wrapped with the kids’ presents. No resentment and no excessive, fruitless hint-dropping…Mom gets Christmas too ๐Ÿ˜›

  41. Alex on December 13, 2021 at 9:14 pm

    My honeymoon!!
