25 Great Things that Happened in 2017

I can't believe that today is the last day of 2017. Where did the time go? This past year has definitely been the longest year of my life. It has changed me in every single way imaginable. There have been a lot of life changes and  difficult moments. But there have also been some amazing moments as well, so today I'll be focusing on those. Here are 25 of the best things about 2017.

  1. After working primarily on Instagram, I decided to launch my blog!
     
  2. Another amazing year with Aimery. Every day I'm so thankful that I have him in my life. He is my everything.
     
  3. My business has grown, including making content creation my full time job. I also met Rachael, and we have worked together to grow our brands in ways we never thought imaginable! So thankful for her love and support over the last few months!
     
  4. My top two blog posts this year were Avoid that Newborn Vitamin K Shot and How to Gain 10K Followers on Instagram in Less than 5 Months. 
     
  5. We stayed at a cottage on Lake Ontario last winter. And although it was really cold, it was so fun living on a lake!
