Hi Friends! Happy New Year! I hope your holiday was fantastic and you enjoyed spending time with the special people in your life! We host Christmas Eve every year and always love spending time with family. Christmas day was spent lounging, playing with our pup, and watching random shows like Hot Ones. Have you seen it?
I hope Santa was good to you, too! This and this were under the tree for me on Christmas morning. But my favorite gift was my new customized robe that my daughter made at Cuddle Clones. What’s your favorite gift that you received this year?
My two-week blogging/social media break was much needed, and I’ve never felt better. I feel refreshed and focused and cannot wait to create new content for you this year. But before we get to that, I thought it would be fun to look back at 2023.
I always love digging into my analytics to see what posts you love the most. And, since I was on my one-post-a-week schedule for most of the year, I was surprised that I had created and published 80 posts in 2023. Here are your favorite blog posts from each month in 2023, plus my top three pins from Pinterest that drive traffic to my blog. Oh, and if you’re not following me on Pinterest, you can follow me here.

What better way to kick it off than last January’s Oahu Hawaii Trip Recap. We hadn’t been on vacation in ages, and this was a trip to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation.
