Another year has passed and I’m still sitting here wondering where the time went. I not only can’t believe I’ve been writing this blog for 5 years now, but I can’t believe how much it has evolved. It started as something to pass the time and has since transformed into something that takes up all my free time and I can’t thank every single one of you enough for being part of this journey.

I thought 2014 was my best year, but 2015 knocked it out of the water. I’m forever grateful for the brands and bloggers I’ve been able to work with and can’t wait to see what 2016 has to bring. I always like to look back at the New Year’s Resolutions I discuss in my first post of the year while I’m writing the last post of the year and to be honest I totally forgot I made some of these!

I can definitely say I stuck with my resolution of spending less on material things so I can spend more on traveling. I didn’t get to cross any oceans like I did last year, but I did take a few pretty amazing road trips to place like Newport, RI and Boston, and finally visited one of my best friends in Raleigh, NC, but I’m hoping to book something big in 2016.

As for being more spontaneous and saying “yes” to more things, I think I definitely fulfilled this one. By doing so I think it made me realize how much I love sticking to a schedule. I’m glad I did it, but I think one of my 2016 resolutions might be to have better spontaneous/schedule balance. I also think I tried really hard to stop worrying, I’m a worry wort by nature, but think year when something was bothering me I took a deep breathe and just let it go, something I’ll absolutely be carrying over into next year.

The one resolution I didn’t get to was learning (or starting to learn) a new language! This one might be on the back burner for a few years, but it’s not forgotten! Maybe I just need to travel again to inspire me!

Happy New Year & Cheers to an amazing 2016!

And I’ll leave you with my favorite post of all…
