Happy Friday and nearly New Year!
In This Post
If you’re like me and 97.8% of the rest of the population you’re asking yourself where in the heck did 2016 go? Life just seems to go faster and faster with more demands and requests. How about for 2017 let’s make thing simpler. Take things slower. Relish in today instead of thinking about tomorrow.
I’m in. How about you?
We had a fantastic holiday with lots of family time, so much good food and frivolity and a special week long visit with my parents, my sis & bro-in-law and Smudge’s favorite cousins and we were all christened with a white Christmas. It was a merry merry jumping for joy day indeed.
After taking a week away from the blog, I feel totally refreshed and ready to dig into 2017. I have so much planned for this little space on the internet and I can’t wait to share it all with you. And if you haven’t gotten my planner yet, please do! It’s going to create a healthier and more manageable year for all.
This week I’m sharing a “best of 2016” list of lists with you. Let’s see if you agree, and if you have any fave lists of your own to share, post them in the comments below.
So without further adieu, let’s get into this last week of 2016’s list of Friday Faves…’
