HAPPY NEW YEAR: My Best of 2018

2018 was a CRAZY year from start to finish. It was our first full year as a family of three, my first full year back at work full time (and, thankfully, that work/life balance is actually AMAZING so far), and E FINALLY graduated from his residency and started working full time. We also announced that we are expecting baby #2 in early 2019, so things are just going to get even crazier! Nothing like shaking things up just as you get into a rhythm.

I love putting this post together every year because it is so fun to reflect on everything we did the year before. Inevitably I forget a few things, and it is great to take a walk down memory lane and share those memories with you. Some that you have already read about on the blog, and others that you haven’t seen yet. Scroll down for a few of my favorite highlights!

Hope you enjoyed 2018 as much as I did. I cannot wait to see what 2019 has in store for me, my family and What’s For Dinner Esq.!
