Jeff and Emmie got up early and let me sleep in again today, all the way until 8am! So once I was awake and moving, I made the three of us some egg sandwiches for breakfast, with a little help from my tiniest assistant. (We didn’t bother waking the boys, because they’re too grumpy to be woken up just for breakfast, plus they didn’t want to go to Walmart with us anyways.)

Goodbye, Adios, Ciao, Adieu Read More »
Y’all, 2020 is finally coming to an end. In an “unprecedented year” like we’ve literally never seen before, I’m sure many of us are ready to bid it farewell, in hopes that things will look different/better in 2021. As we all know, this has been the weirdest year of most of our lives, and although I am ready to see it go, I know that things will not magically snap back to “before” when 1/1/21 rolls around. And again, as strange and sometimes terrible as 2020 was, there were also some great moments too.
I’m so glad that I’ve been keeping this online journal for 2.5 years now, with the ability to go back and read random posts and relive those random days. I made recap posts like this one for the past two years, and not only do I love making these, y’all love reading these too. If you’d like to relive the past with me, you can check out the old posts for 2018 and 2019 here, and now we’ll get going on 2020!
Although there were a few days where I didn’t blog (due to website issues or pregnancy exhaustion), I always tried to make up for those days by posting twice the following day, which means I wrote a total of 368 posts this year! (And this is my 1,000th all-time post!!) People have viewed my blog from 55 different countries, with a little over 46,000 total views just this year! With a whopping 103,000+ all-time views!
So today, on New Year’s Eve, let’s wrap up 2020 by highlighting some of my favorite posts from each month…

A Look Back at 2020 Read More »
As I do every year, I want to recap some of the books I’ve read this past year. (In case you’d like to check them out, here are my previous years’ posts for 2018 and 2019.) I always set a goal or challenge on Goodreads, and once again, I not only met but slightly exceeded my goal. Goodreads is basically just a way to track books you have already read, or want to read. You can read reviews, and rate the books you’ve read, and follow favorite authors or friends. I’ve been using it consistently since 2014, and I love being able to track my progress! Lists are a big part of my life. (Other Enneagram Type 1’s can agree with me on this point, I’m sure.) I thought I would set a lower goal around 50-75 this year, but then I ended up reading more once the pandemic hit, so I upped it to my usual 100 books. My final total? I read 102 books this year!
