As much as I love the holidays, I love a clean slate (and house) once January hits just as much. I am such a Virgo, it’s rare for me to wait much longer than the day after Christmas to put everything away, to start organizing new toys and give away old ones, and to make lists about goals and thoughts for the new year ahead. This time around was no different, especially since we are in the process of (hopefully!) selling our house and purchasing a new one in the next few months — it’s been overwhelming and a lot of work, but we are so excited to see where this takes us in the new year!
2017 was full of surprises for us, some wonderful and others challenging. We had some of our highest highs and some definite lows, but what sticks out to me more than anything is that we figured it all out. Together. Our girls are thriving, happier and sillier and closer to each other than ever, and not a day goes by that I am not crazy thankful for them. I am so proud of my husband, who had to make some major career decisions this past year but as always, did it with grace and by putting our family first. We already know that 2018 is going to be busy, but we couldn’t be more excited for it!! These truly are the days, and there is no better time of year to remind myself to soak them in and be fully present for them than now. I hope the same for you, wishing you a year full of love and so much happiness! XO
Happy New Year! I hope you and your beautiful family has an amazing 2018!
