2018 In Review
I can't believe that we are at the end of 2018. I'm not going to lie, I am ready to see the year close and am looking forward to starting 2019. This past year was a very dark and difficult one, and while I like to think that I'm good at finding the silver lining in most things, I still can't really seem to find one in the past year. maybe other than more than ever I realize the importance of family, and never, ever doubt that among all the hate in the world there is still way more love then you'd ever imagine.
All that said, here's a recap of what happened this past year. Click on the highlighted links to be taken to the post I'm referring to!
January.
Here in Upstate New York January is always a long, cold, and snowy month. And this past year did not disappoint. We spent a lot of time indoors, reading, and hanging out. I featured my all-time favorite new baby bed, and put together a list of some of my most beloved toddler items on Amazon.
February.
March.
April.
May.
This is still something that I don't really talk about much on here because it's still something that I'm working through every day.
June.
July.
August.
My dad bought and moved into his new house, I took a lot of trips down to visit them, we hung out, I wrote a book review, and I wrote a day in the life post.
September.
October.
November.
In November we celebrated Thanksgiving in Connecticut, talked more books (surprise!), got our tree, and had our first snow here in New York.
December.
In December we did lots of baking, spent Christmas with Adam's family, and read SO MANY books. It's been a busy month.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have lots of changes coming to our little family in the year 2019. Many of which I haven't talked about on the blog yet, but will in the coming months as things unfold and develop.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you and yours Rosie. Can't wait to hear about the changes coming your way. I know it's been a very difficult and sad year. Still have you all in my daily prayers. I hope one day you will be able to share more about your mom's passing on the blog.
ReplyDeleteYou are loved by so many Rosie.
Love,
Cathy
Surely hoping 2019 will be a better year for us and you all too!! I do understand how it is loosing mom and other loved ones...at my age, have lost quite a few. We eventually get where it is easier, but they will forever be missed and in our hearts!! And truely? Who knows if they are that far away...the veil between may indeed be quite thin. The first year of firsts is one of the hardest...take care...glad you are being with others too. All good!! Blessings, Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteHere's to hoping 2019 brings nothing but love, joy and peace to you and all your family.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your family all the best in 2019. So sorry that 2018 was not the best year, with the passing of your Mom. I think of sweet Jewels often, we are around the same age, and it is still so hard to believe she is gone.
