Recap of 2016

I’m still in shock, per usual, that every year seems to fly by. But really though! This year was a challenge, a surprise, a blessing and so much more! Here’s a bit of a fun recap of our year!

January – We stated the New Year off with a bang when we visited Florida with our best friends! We also celebrated Lily’s 2nd birthday with a super fun Pajamas and Pancakes party!


February – For Valentine’s Day we kept it simple and stayed home since I was really under the weather with a bad cold and I even shared a pretty personal post about going to therapy and why.

March – I celebrated a super fun Bachelorette party with girlfriends up in the North Georgia mountains! We enjoyed relaxing days chatting, wine touring and a huge bonfire. I also created this adorable Easter basket for Lily!

April – I’m not sure what took me so long but I feel in love with creating various types of overnight oats and shared one of my favorite recipes with you all. Zach and I also celebrated some of best friends getting married in Florida. It was pretty crazy because we were the ones setting up the reception, banquet hall, ceremony and cocktail hour but it all worked out in the end! I also ended the month with something I had never done before!

May – I attended an amazing Yogi event in Buckhead and was blown away by how incredible, kind and giving all these yogis were! It was one fun event and one I hope to keep attending in the future! I also got to share a movie I was able to be a part of last August ( hint, it has Robert Downer Jr. in it and I personally got to work with him..drooling! )

June – I shared some goals I wanted to accomplish this summer ( we almost had them all done too! ) and attended one of my top blogging events because it had everything to do with one of my favorite jewelry designers, Tacori! We also enjoyed some nights at the ball park cheering on the Braves

July – We had a great and low key 4th of July plus Zach and I celebrated 4 years of marriage on the 6th! We kept it low key and enjoyed a delicious dinner together. I also celebrated my big 30th birthday with one amazing surprise party that my incredible husband threw for me plus our new kitten, Belle, was added to the family!


August – We found out we were expecting our second child and couldn’t stop giggling and freaking out the entire month! How could we have to wait to share our big news with our family and friends! I also received one fabulous blow out hair style at the new Dream Dry that opened up in Buckehad.

September – We shared the news with a few friends and couldn’t wait to tell my parents when we met them over in Munich for Oktoberfest. We also visited Vienna, Austria and had one heck of a 10 day vacation together. I also headed to MN where I saw one of my best guy friend’s get married and a surprise visit from a girlfriend I was close with in Elementary school! Such a fun time!

October – My little family ( and bump ! ) were apart of one of our best friend’s wedding in Iowa, we found out the gender of our baby with one adorable reveal with our besties and got Lily dressed up for her first time Trick-Or-Treating in our neighborhood!

November – We enjoyed the unusually warm weather and a trip to Boston with my cousins for Thanksgiving! Lily loved seeing her boy cousins who are all 5 weeks older than her and spending quality time together. I also loved going to a Bruins Game with my family and celebrating Zach turning 31! Oh yeah, and this little lady was obsessed with her pumpkin pie!

December – We ended our amazing year with lots of fun Christmas/Ugly Sweater parties, wrapping gifts for Christmas, celebrating our friend’s arrival of their little girl and enjoying time with my parents and Grandmother who flew down to Atlanta this past weekend.
