2016 Favorites

Just sitting here, reflecting on the past year, while looking ahead to all the things to come. I know, I know...I just couldn't resist writing something like that with a picture like the one above. 

I believe less and less in resolutions with each year that goes by, but I do love the feeling of looking back at the year's highlights before refreshing, regrouping and resetting to move forward in the new year. With that in mind, I wanted to share my 50 favorite posts from the year, in order, starting with the oldest and ending with the newest. Believe it or not, while there were many great posts, great travels and great projects from this year, I actually spent most of 2016 feeling very overwhelmed, under-prepared and totally disorganized #notinstagramworthy. So for those reasons, among others, I'm more than ready to see 2016 go.

I'll be taking some time off in January to do just what I mentioned above (refresh, regroup and reset). I hope you all can do the same. Thank you, as always, for reading and following along and I'll see you in the new year!
