Annual survey + Favorite Things giveaway

Hi friends! As we head towards the end of 2019, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for being here. You make this little online space so awesome, and connecting with you all is one of my favorite parts of the day.

It’s so crazy to believe that 11 years ago, I started this blog in a new place, where I had yet to make many friends, and was craving connection. It’s grown and changed a lot, and far surpassed anything I could have imagined. This little blog enables me to stay home with the kiddos while supporting our family, talk about fitness-y and fun topics with you all, and I feel so thankful to do so many things I genuinely love and enjoy.

Every click, comment, follow, product purchase, and page view directly helps our family and I hope you know how thankful I am for you all. 2019 was a great year and I can’t wait to see what happens in 2020.

Let’s celebrate with a little giveaway!
