goodbye 2017

above is just a very very very small snap shot of my favorite photos and events from 2017. wow, what a year. so much happened!

kylo turned one, dominic and i got engaged, i went on my dream vacay to banff and vancouver, i stopped wearing makeup for a bit, i went to nyc for the first time, and so much more. i already did a post on my 2018 resolutions, you can read that here – so i thought i would just share some of my favorite photos and moments from my blog in 2017.

i wish i would have written down my resolutions i had for 2017, so i could see my progress, but all in all, 2017 was a very good year in terms of learning about myself personally, growing my blog, and overcoming other obstacles.

i absolutely love having the blog so i can look back through the last year(s) and see where i was and how far i’ve come. it’s one of the many reasons i still have this blog. for those of you that don’t know, i started this blog back in 2014. i blogged pretty consistently for a while, but during 2015/16, my blogs were just here and there. i was feeling very uninspired and almost gave up blogging all together.

i am so so so so so glad i did not quit. even if i don’t get thousands of visitors a month and aren’t working with the top brands, that’s not why i do this. blogging is so amazing for documenting many different parts of my life. looking back and watching yourself grow is the best. i also love writing – as you know, and having a blog is one of my favorite stress releases. i need a creative outlet like this to stay sane, honestly.

looking forward

for the first time in a while, i’m really not sure what 2018 will bring. a book perhaps? another puppy?! i really don’t know. but that’s ok!

for now, enjoy a few of my favorite photos from the year! i literally had the HARDEST time choosing. which is why this post is up late. but if you follow me on instagram, i’m sure you’ll see a million more of my fav photos. xo
