It’s that time of year again! A new year, aka the time where I bombard you with memories from the past year. Since I’ve had my baby, the blog has kind of petered out (HOW do people keep up such intense blogging schedules with a newborn?!), but hopefully that will change in the new year.
And it wouldn’t feel like a new year with my annual collages full of my favorite moments!
So, I give you…the Best of 2017!
