I feel like every year near the end of Christmas time I start thinking about that certain year flew by so fast. Without a doubt, it happens every year. It’s so crazy how a year can seem so short, yet so long!
2016 was a good one.
I adopted Quinn.
I graduated college.
And most importantly, I started The Blonder Life.
I never finish out a year thinking how awful it was, or wishing for the new one to begin. I think it’s kind of silly going into a year hoping it’ll be different than the previous. A change of one digit in the year you are living isn’t going to change anything - you have to.
Okay, rant over.
I went back and looked over all of my posts from 2016- which wasn’t too many since TBL is less than a year old! Things have changed so much since my first post, thank goodness! I am so excited to see where 2017 takes me, and my tiny corner of the internet! Thanks to everyone who has supported me throughout the process, and to everyone reading this post right now!
According to Google Analytics, these are 5 of my most popular posts from the year!
