As I finish out a year on the blog I like to end it with a recap of the year through pictures! Highlighting the big moments and milestones throughout the year as a family. This post is also super handy when creating my blog books as it helps me know when the year actually ends and when to start the next book in the series 😉
2021 was a great year for our family in many ways, as well as one with some tougher moments too. We are thankful for the time spent together making memories as a family and for the healing the world went through – def much improved from 2020! If you’re new around here this post is a great way to get to know us better 🙂
Each month covers the major moments with links to the blog post for each too!
