As 2017 comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on a 1001 day challenge that I started back in the Spring of 2016. On April 24, 2016, I published a post titled “101 Things to do in 1001 Days” and compiled a list of what I thought would be relatively achievable things I could accomplish in 1001 days. Then in April of this year, I did a quick update post of what I had accomplished so far. As I mentioned in one my of previous posts, it was two bloggers that inspired me and my list.

Holidays are more than just being able to take days off from work, and holiday traditions are more than just having your picture made with Santa or sending out Christmas cards or always wearing matching pajamas with your family on Christmas morning.

December 15, 2017 No Comments

I am a little late in posting about the FabFitFun 2017 Winter Box, but I’ve had a busy couple of weeks. When I arrived home one evening a few weeks ago, I spied this nicely decorated box waiting for me on my front steps. I immediately got excited because for me, this winter box made me feel like Christmas came early this year! As with my previous FabFitFun boxes this year, I was sent an email previewing some of the items selected for this season’s box.

As you may or may not know, I am slightly obsessed with Courtney Kerr {KERRently} and Jacey Dupree {Damsel in Dior}, so it’s only […]
