2020….definitely a year we will never forget!

Adam and I rang in 2020 in New York City, at a hotel party overlooking the thousands of people partying in Times Square to watch the ball drop.  I never in a million years would have guessed all the craziness this year would bring.  We tested the limits of our patience (hello homeschooling!), our sanity (hello quarantine!), and our faith.  I SAY I trust God, but so many times this year He had to gently remind me that He is in control.  So many things did not go as planned, BUT….

We bonded and spent so much time together as a family, and I feel like God truly shifted our priorities to what is most important.  I am a go, go, go type of person, and while being forced to stay home drove me a little crazy, a slowdown was probably good.  Not being able to see our friends and family made me appreciate time with them SO much more, and having Mac primarily work from home (he’s still home every day but one) has been great for us on so many levels.  I have loved connecting more with y’all…here and on Instagram.  At the end of the day, we all need each other and whatever 2021 brings, we got this!

So, I thought it would be fun to look back at YOUR favorite posts and products from 2020!
