Happy December 12th! I am SO excited to begin counting down the 12 days of Christmas!

You guys have been asking me left and right if I’d be holding another 12 Days of Christmas vlogging series this year. While I’d love to, all we’re REALLY doing over here is cuddling a newborn. But!

Following on both Instagram & Facebook. Favorite memory of 2017 was my mom’s family reunion in Nashville this summer, we had a blast!!!
one of my favorite memories from the past year was watching the solar eclipse with my family. It was an awesome day.
My favorite memory of 2017 was getting married in December!
Love this!
My Favorite 2017 memory is all memories spent with my 4 and 6 year old boys!
Spending time with family as I cherish as we all get older.
Making our candy house each year – a tradition I now do with my kids!
my favorite memory of 2017 was graduating from college and moving to a new city!
My oh so favorite memory was my daughter meeting her great grandma for the first time. I moved to the US to be with my husband almost three years ago and in September we finally made it to Germany after Emmy was born so she could meet her german side of the family. It was all special, but seeing my grandma so proud to meet her great granddaughter was the best thing of 2017. Those moments make up for living so far away!
I have two favorite memories from 2017. The first was when my husband finally got his Chevy Volt. He has been dreaming about getting this car since he first read about them years ago. He still has that look in his eyes every time he drives it. The second is when the waters finally receeded. Yay! We flooded here and it was not a good summer at all. Never thought I’d be this happy for cold weather.
I also pre-ordered a copy of The Pretty Dish :)
Buying and moving into our first house together was by far my favorite thing of 2017!!
My favorite memory is one night when all of my roommates and I were sitting in the living room, and one of them surprised us by making chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches!
I am very hopeful that my favorite memory of 2017 is yet to come… I’m heading to Curacao for Christmas this year ~ bring on the beach!!!
My most favorite memory of 2017 is the birth of my grandson. He is my first grandchild and the love of my life!
My fave memory this year was the birth of my second baby girl :)
My favorite memory of 2017 was winning my first big jury trial as a prosecutor with my amazing mentor and co-counsel and turning around to see the victim smile and cry happy tears for the first time since I began work on the case in 2015.
My favorite memory of 2017 is finding out I’ll be a mom to another baby!
Liked on facebook and instagram!
My favorite memory was having my baby girl! Lainey Rae joined us on August 23 and live has never been sweeter
My favorite memory of 2017 is taking my 2 year old son to see the ocean for the first time! 💙
My son’s first birthday in June!
My favorite memory was surprising my daughter when I arrived in London to visit her while she was studying aboard.
My favorite memory of this year is moving into my new home with my love. It took a lot for us to overcome fears and get to this point and we have spent the last 6 months really building a home together! 💙
Favorite memory is from a family trip to Florida this fall. We enjoyed spending time with my husband’s grandmother (who’s almost 100!), bhulding sand castles with our 4 yr old, and swimming with the dolphins. Best family trip to date!
My favorite memory is watching the sun set at Oval Beach. It was beautiful!
Opps forgot my favourite memory. Hmm probably being able to say goodbye to my Uncle before he passed away. It’s a sad memory but also one I’m so grateful to have gotten.
My favorite memory was taking my mom home. She had a stroke November 11 2016 while at my house. It was along road and she moved in here after she left the rehabilitation facility. Taking her home was something I wasn’t sure I would ever get to do but in February 2017 she went. We were both bawling as I drove away and it may have been the hardest thing I’ve ever done. She is now happily living on her own again ❤
My favorite memory of 2017 was taking my 2 year old and 4 year old to Idlewild park. It was their first time there, and it was so much fun watching them enjoy the same rides I loved as a kid.
Favorite memory of 2017 would have to be… getting my sweet little puppy, Tyson (he has a brown patch on his face like a little tattoo) on a whim and letting him turn my whole world upside down and fill my whole heart! I never knew I could love a puppy so much AND that I would be such a basket case dog mama! I don’t know how you do it with two sweet babies!
I preordered the book!
Spending time on our new boat on the lake was the best part of 2017.
Hmmm, narrowing down to just 1 event isn’t easy (or, obvious), so I think I will combine, getting together w/ our young adult children—there is always an abundance of laughter (and, typically, great food!) As busy as their lives have become, I cherish the times we are able to share😍
My favorite memory of 2017 was being accepted into Anesthesia school! So exiting! Love your blog!
My favorite memory of 2017 was going to see The National with my husband. It had been so long since we’d been to a concert together!
My favorite memory of this year was getting to hold my baby for the first time :)
My most favorite memory of 2017 was getting engaged! Woo hoo!
Happiest of holidays! Thank you for hosting such a FUN and GENEROUS giveaway, CHEERS!
xoxo
Warmly,
Heather :)
My favorite memory of 2017 was going to the lake with my whole extended family for a weekend and just relaxing.
My favorite memory of 2017 was when my fiance surprised me with a trip to LA to see a concert. We rarely take trips where it’s just the two of us, and we went sightseeing, ate lots of good food, and were just able to spend some good quality time together.
The best part of 2017 for me was spending 6 weeks doing my first clinic rotation while in grad school. It reminded me why I wanted to become a physical therapist in the first place! It was difficult and unnerving and enlightening and fun, as all good adventures should be.
My favourite memory was ice skating with hot cider on a first date with my now boyfriend of a year. Will be celebrating this weekend by revisiting that date! :)
My favorite memory of 2017 was taking a two month trip to Cambodia by myself. So scary and so worth it!
My favorite memory of 2017 was getting a puppy!
I pre-ordered your book and I can’t wait for it to come out!
Finding out I was pregnant after two years of infertility and this one actually sticking! Baby coming in February FINALLY!
Favorite memory is leaving my job to stay at home with my kids
Finding out that my sister was pregnant with twins was SO exciting…I also took two great tropical vacations, switched jobs, and moved. Big year! :)
Hands down, my favorite memory of 2017 is having my first baby boy this past June!
It’s been a crazy year. I’m waiting on my (SIX MONTH) kitchen renovation to finish up. My favorite memory of the year will totally be when I can cook in a real kitchen again with all of my stuff put away!
My favorite memory of 2017 was seeing family and friends come together at my father’s funeral.
